Tumeke

Jeeze jokers - looks like you had a goodtimes.jpg 

So much so that we are keen to come down and do it  - looking at 25th - 28th March.

@slacker.cam @sentra @peteretep @Tumeke

Two questions:

1. Anyone wanna do it again / join us?

2. Anyone excited to wanna do support for us in case it turns to shit? 

Main concern is being stranded with a broken bike/person. Yeah we're pretty self sufficient but hey - risk assessment suggests we might be stupid to do it without.

Ken to hear your thoughts

TBH, I don't actually know who all the Auckland guys are other than @Tumeke

Yeah sorry all Auckland accommodation was cancelled with the venues when I heard we were fucked so that we didn't loose all our money.

We will get map details and do it ourselves in few weeks. Our bikes are half way down and airlines should hold airfares. Will talk to accommodation tomorrow.

Beach ride?

We did consider coming sans borders through the Hunuas.

Yeah so us Auckland guys are not allowed.

Guess we will do out own ride in a few weeks.

What time do you need to be at the plane station on Sunday?

Remember that time that dickhead booked too early a flight home? Forcing everyone to get up really early? (Tbh, air nz changed it on me. Twice)

7peeem flight sundae

@Pee Dubs Just caught your tag.

The Trident Tavern / Mangere Bridge Tavern drinking team of @sentra @peteretep @slacker.cam and myself are putting our bikes on pallets with some kiwistamps, then flying into ChCh on the Thursdae AM.

We are thinking we might ride up to Hanmer for extra adventures on the Thursdae, but if there is a trailer available to bring them back on the Sundae (4 x bikes Hanmer to ChCh pls @anybody?) it might be handy if we are running late for aero planes. 

If not, we will hit the road early on Sunday to ensure we can get back, pack our bikes and get to the airport before 7pm flights.

We have our accommodation (we're going cheep + not camping due to logistics) if anyone cares:

Hanmer: Alpine Adventure Park

Blenheim: Blenheim Bridges Holiday Park

Nelson: Paradiso Backpackers.

 - better living errbody.

Booked. $20 is $20

pls.

Borrow my camera kit for your next video and use my radio mics.

@Tumeke?

nah too busy.

@tortron I'll spot you a shit bike if yours doesn't want to work. Will be trailer down/back with the Onehunga Trident Tank-slappers crew.

Unscientific un-closed road tests suggest you need a Lifan 125.

Seems about even match with a GN250 until 80km/h with my current jetting setup.

Do a skid. Cunt.

@tortron should have a working bee with @Mr Vapour and sharn about the efficiencies of 2 x GNs at te underwearer.

Arghh,

The "good" people of air NZ have rescheduled my flight home. Leaving an hour earlier. Probably mean I'll.be spending an extra hour in aux with my finger up my arse waiting to fly home.

I have beers and live close to the airport.

See you fullas in the morning eh.

Who's bringing lasagne toppers pls?

Looking into shipping excess baggage / kit-set bike now.

CT-CREEK 110/125

My brother has a Cub with leading link suspension - not ideal for cape ride.  Upgrade searching began.

I found this amazingly cheep CT110 on marketplace that some bloke found in a creek at the back of his house. GC even dropped it off with his truck.

I was told i'll never get it going cause it's seized and shit - which is fine cause I just wanted parts. But then....

With a bit of old ATF fluid, some spanners and about 6 Haargens, pulled it apart and made it spin again.

Threw some spares I had left over from Cooks Transport at it

And went and did some skids. Goes good.

Then got bored and threw a spare Lifan 125 in it and did a 200km shakedown. Now cape-readyish.

ALSO SPECIAL THAMLS TO @BLIZZO FOR NEW RIM(JOB). Didn't even take the tyre off it.

Pls @V8Pete sign up

From @Raizer

@WankBankA100 a100 tank should be heaps big enough to just stop at stations. (was last year) 2T ecom + endurance commuter spec tank.

@Tumeke got any measurements for remaking one? 
I see cmsnl has them but it’s pretty expensive to get them here!

Measure your pipe outlet. That's the tube size. 

If you look at the picture, the exhaust goesfrom the motor into the wide end but wont go all the way through. It escapes the slots and then goes back into the asbestos covered section and out the arse end.

Doesn't have to be perfect, but the back-pressure is recommended to avoid you running lean and doing silly seizing things.

Then weigh up your time. The link above is $50 kiwi bucks plus say $20 from the states.... Not that spendy really?
