It you've got a car with a Valid Motorsport Authority card -full cage/harness/seat ect do you still need a cert for those modifications? even if car already has cert for suspension?

Oops.... this makes it three picked this up today solely for the lower half of the chain guard. but on further inspection it looks to have a few other bits that might be useful or just hoarded for spares. Forks are super bent so I'm guessing it's been run over or crashed. It also has a few differences than my good FR50 -namely being stickers for the logos instead of badges / had round speedo/ different shaped safety light on the front.

Also If you remember seeing a while ago in this thread a sparkly Fa50 frame, I finally got around to bolting it back together just before dromeageddon. I decided to fit 14in dirtbike tyres to it after getting a sweet deal from a fellow oldschooler for maximum dirt tractions for backup at dromeageddon. As a note, they do fit but just. To get the rear wheel on involves fitting the wheel with the tyre deflated and then inflating once bolted in place. I also had to remove the stand as that rubbed hard on the tyre and the carb filter elbow misses by a whisker BONUS IMAGE. CHECK OUT THAT SPARKLE

I have a problem. I keep managing to acquire double ups of scooters . The one at the back Is a FR80 I purchased off Denham to use to donate the 80cc engine to my FR50. It also supplied the top half of a chain guard which Ive fitted to the 50. The 80 after twiddling with the carb seems to go hard for what it is and with the front forks welded solid gives a weird feeling like it wants to pop the front wheel off the ground on 1-2 gear change. probably not but more so just a sweet jolt on shifting. Looking forward to yanking the 50 and putting the 80 in its place! also someone sell me the lower half of a fr50 chainguard please!

So I haven't really done much on these, I successfully passed my basic handling test and acquired my motorcycle learners licence. since then Ive really just been enjoying riding the Ax100 around the streets. Ive run out of gas a couple of times, and the fact that it runs premix is a nuisance when that happens/means I really have to plan trips to the gas station. Apart from that, Its great fun to ride. A few weeks ago while the weather was crappy I spent a couple of evenings out in the garage chopping the wiring and fixing a few issues to allow me to finally get around to fitting the round headlight I purchased. Aesthetically its made a HUGE change to the whole bike for the better. It looks a lot lighter and much more towards the look Im aiming for. Fitting the round headlight gave me the issue of having nowhere to mount the ignition switch. Previously the switch was mounted in the body of the rectangular headlight, but a few modifications to the wiring resulted in me being able to move the switch to the side cover I'd made earlier. numbers on the sidecover are a quick scribble with a crappy paint pen to see what I thought for making a proper set of decals/number board. Now I need to purchase new rear indicators as ive lost one lense and new bar grips.

So many pines! man I'm feeling the low rider buzz hugely at the moment.

Tang bug 4 standowtz g! Im hopefully gonna bring the Chev down to get some free food if I get this oil filter issue sorted before then

Man that is sweet almost need to make the push handle higher for more big wing but still a shopping trolley handle appearance

And maybe try swapping the efi relay with another relay

Stupid question, immobiliser lights not flashing?

In turangi

Same thing here fuel gauge doesn't work. i think rule of convoy will be your responsible for the car behind you if you can't see them in your mirror slow down or pull over to wait for them ectect yay 4 nats!

12 hours till departure! Have just seen a major accident at the top of my street in a 50kmh zone. Single car taking out a huge concrete pole with the drivers Door and resulting in the drivers side sill touching the trans tunnel. Dudes been cut out and judging by the cars state I'm guessing is not in a good way. makes me feel actually sick seeing the car. Drive to the conditions- don't do any dickhead manoeuvres ect. looking forward to seeing and partying with you lot tomorrow! love Shakotom

Okay so so far we've figured out we're going to meet @64vauxhall and the Hamilton folk in hamilton At say if they're ready to go for 830? i don't know Hamilton, but gregs shop seems central / able to get back on motorway ect or out to back roads? yeah nah? Hamilton crew?

I had planned on being on the road by 7am yeah it's early, but that should leave time cruise along at 80kmh /to stop and pine over junk on the way down, stop and buy food/refreshments for nats/ pitch tent in day light ect/ I just wanna get to nats also for route would it pay to see if any other people further down country wanna jump on the convoy and route route around that?? my 2c

Hmm 9s a bit after my intended time of departure was planning on leaving a lil bit earlier to wagon time in (in a non wag) and be able to stop and stuff on the way

What sort of time are you looking at leaving Auckland?
