DIRT NEWS CARLESS DAYS CENTRAL PLATEAU 1986 hen our Gixxer Cup racer Zak Fuller and publisher Vege road- tripped down to the South Island for a couple of the Gixxer Cup rounds, it got us thinking about big road trips, but more specifically big trips on bikes. KR photographer Geoff Osborne emailed this picture through of him and Randy Caulfield in 1986. And it was a BIG trip... 14 KIWI RIDER The whole KR team was heading to the 1986 national enduro in Mosgiel. Everyone flew down except for Geoff and Randy, who were selected to drive the hire truck from Auckland with 15-20 bikes in the back. Rather than take two to three big days complete the trip, they took it in shifts driving to do it as one big overnighter. >
