Email acquired see you tomorrow @HighLUX

@johnnyfive yea I didn't even think but probably will go north side of the lake. A hell of a lot cooler ride. (we drive it to lake Rotoiti) I havnt really planned fuel stops as such I got a range of about 160kms easy so will just go with the flow I think. Just need to double check with @Zeubin on Thursday morning if there is a preference with the route.

I won't even be sad if I get a pin in replacement of a sticker. Big red shed shopping tomorrow and last day of work.

These are the style of the pins. These locks are pretty good.

I don't even want want a event sticker. I want a pin. Just found dad's ones again. Cc in @Archetype to make east cape ones

Jack pot. I hit up mum to see if I was aloud my fathers pins from his years of riding and collecting. Pretty over the moon to be able to wearing these from now on.

man so much excitement going on right now!!!! this is the trip i plan on achieving on the vespa over the next 5 days

OK will bring my wake boarding vest and you can float in that. Rock slide was great.

fuck pin it to win it m8. mumma didnt raise no pussy. yeah ill go see whayt kmart has in the inflatable section. 40 dudes on a air mattress is going to be a laugh

this is going to be me wednesday night

ive booked the room/bed for the 1st night if you want to be in touch if i remember correctly

This sums up our ride for today. The head wind heading out to kawhia was a killer and the side wind was pretty hard at some times but a solid 50mph on our way out. A easy 60mph plus on the way home. Air temp dropped and the tail wind was great. Rode all packed for east cape see what the bike went like and what a trooper. Nothing changed at all. A great two hundred kms again. Only a few more days and I'll be on my way to Whakatane with @Zeubin in his bmw c1 via more back roads doing our extended east cape trip on small adventure bikes.

East cape ready.

Oh man that's a bummer.

Still don't know how I fixed it either.

Man the speedcocks wanted to go for a burn tonight and I said yes. Slapped my speedo cable down the hole and put a bolt in where it needed to go and off I went. But fuck me. My speedo actually works now! Supper smooth and steady. Seems when I'm doing about 100kms that it sits on the 60mph part. Pretty dam happy with slapping it together

SPEEDO WORKS!! Don't even know how I fixed it. Successful ride this arvo with a few others Think I might even cover my seat now I have the speedo working.

@mark105 buy one now.

@mark105 and Steve are keen on a ride also. Smash out some larger kms again. So keen.

yeah we going to do one sat arvo as well. keen to do the same roads but go straight instead on turning left this time. and go get a beer in the dry weather

Gah. Tried to make push bike speedo work for the mean time.... Sure looks like that's going in the bin. We going to be doing alllllll sorts of speeds this coming trip. And none that I'll be able to actually calibrate. Heck yeah.

I checked my assorted bolts and cut one down to make the pin for the engine cover. Dont think this one is going to fall off now with my erratic riding and driving if it's on the back of a ute/car for some unknown reason. Had to get the radiator fixed in the Subaru and had to get to an appointment so quickly fixed it and on my way again. I drilled through the panel and plug welded it as previously it didn't have much holding it in. I used a 5mm drill bit to begin with drilling it out and that was the size of the weld/join that was holding the old knob on. Ended up stepping it up to a 7mm size hole to get right in there. Might buy a push bike speedo this week and see if I can get that thing working.

something like this. friday i done this also replaced this its ment to go here and look something like this, well i used windlace cause i do upholstery and that what i had in stock in the shop now its sealed a lot better. carbie had a bit of sand it o aye idle jet was also blocked. flyingbrick hounded me for a ride so we boosted to beavers place. Via @Truenotchs place cause he had geophys tire tongs, well that was markku coming for a ride now to. me and @Beaver got intimate and used some lube on his rubber. just as we left his place we had our not so scooter affilated speedcock arrive on his push bike (lols) Yowzer btw, he followed us to geophys place in his car...... the speedcocks made a huge gathering and then made it to @Geophys place to proceeded to drink beer and remove his fr50 engine. to install his fr80 engine while he cleaned his shed so we could work in there instead of out side in the dark...... @Yowzer got a mean video of me ripping a skid on geophys scooter. the next day i slept in and got hounded from @flyingbrick to go for a ride. so ended up out at @mark105s place, made our way to the coat up a hill and down another hill.... looked like this at the top a little down the hill it looked like this kawhia harbour in the distance. looked good and the weather wast to bad.... well lol. we got to the pub and yea pissing down, seats up to keep them dry. we then headed home marks scooter decided to stop working about 15/20 kms out of kawhia i was lucky enough to know the greatest of gc people living in kawhia, he lent me his ute so i then stormed back to grab 10 5 well well well tree down tree down. dw the guys we had a beer with at the pub where not to far away from helping us thank god. LOL made it home and unloaded the lead and this morning i had Ara arrive and picked up his ute with a gift from us. all in all great weekend. i wore a rubbish bag as a skirt on my way back to Ara house. going to keep them on me from now on. boom so good. now to get back out and do some riding again. also the rear of my engine cover locating pin has managed to brake off. Great. fuck i love riding my little scoot. oh and yowzer got his bike going. this is great. so fucken good.

Last I checked he was taking flywheel off. Hopefully he can get it sorted and away again. His carb was missing a bolt when we got back the other day. And from our ride to my place the weekend before his starter motor was missing a bolt also and broke in half and fell out which was his main earth so thats why that was a problem.

don't tell me what to do. your not my real dad.
