    I'd be veeeeerrrrry surprised if they bothered to seal that road? Its common round these parts just to seal patches in front of buildings to cut down on dust, so that might be whats planned?

    The iwi was looking into some bio-seal scheme using recycled something to seal the road. I'd suggest given the normal rate of progress in the area, we'll be sweet for a few more years yet.

    These are my 4t farm spec bikes for rounding up nangs at the shed.

    I don't really know why I have these, other than cheap. One came with a thistle grubber which hasn't yet been useful.

    Will probably offload but keen on some @UTERUS Thomson's track action first if there are thistles up there.

    I saw this at Kumeu with an 'offers' sign on it but CBF at the time, so grabbed the guys number.

    Rang him a week later to find he had been dicked about and wanted rid of it so I went and grabbed it.

    Motor was seized so separated with big hammers, cleaned up barrel and throw a new piston at it.

    Bike has decided it likes to seize after long periods of WOT. Will throw a bigger main jet at it one day.  Is fine around the suburbs.

    Mercury Plaza deal clears way for CRL Station
     
    City Rail Link Ltd (CRL Ltd) confirms it has completed negotiations to occupy central Auckland’s iconic Mercury Plaza for the City Rail Link (CRL) project.
     
    The Plaza, located in Mercury Lane off busy Karangahape Road, is the site of a long-established Asian supermarket and food hall.  It will be deconstructed  and the site used to support construction of the Karangahape Road underground station entrance and  tunnels.   
     
    “While a lot of people will be sad to see the closure of Mercury Plaza and the culinary diversity it brought to Auckland,  the site’s temporary use by CRL Ltd is contributing to the transformation of the area and of public transport across wider  Auckland,” says CRL Ltd’s acting Chief Executive, Patrick Brockie.    
     
    Mercury Plaza’s food court developed around the  Asian supermarket run by the Ng family.  For 25 years the supermarket serviced the needs of the Asian community, and stall owners fed hungry Aucklanders with a variety of dishes from countries across Asia.  It is due to close on 20 October.
     
    CRL Ltd says its agreement to occupy the site followed successful discussions with the owners of the Mercury Plaza and with the community of operators of the food stalls there.  The supermarket will reopen in Panmure in early 2020 as the New Gum Sarn Supermarket.
     
    CRL Ltd says the Mercury Plaza site will be used to support excavation of a mine shaft on a next-door site for the  station to be built up to 42 metres below ground. Access to the Plaza site will help ease the impact of construction on the local community. 
     
    Karangahape Road is one of two underground stations being built as part of the CRL project, which includes construction of twin tunnels 3.45-kilometre-long below central Auckland linking the existing Britomart and Mt Eden stations. 
     
    More information about the CRL project is available at https://www.cityraillink.co.nz

    Tauranga Motor Machining have done some work for me lately. 4mm over bore on our RZ50 and planed 1mm off my barrell for the Honda. Fairly reasonable pricing. Around $120 I think for our RZ and that was a hefty job. 

    Through my suppliers at work there are 52.5mm and 53mm piston kits. Retail for $90 each and are both in stock with the supplier. Little end bearings are $25. $200 ish and you'd be up and running with a slightly higher amount of nangs. 

    Just tripled the value of the bike m8. Will see what pops up, or it might just end up in the corner of the shed till something comes along.

    RX125 swap?

    the new LS conversion!

    Yeah I sold my RX stuff to some Barry down in the Hawkes Bay. Looked at AG100 but very different mount system. Could weld extra supports up but ideally would like 70s original for authentic nangs.

  7. Also I'm on the hunt for a DX100 or YB100 motor. The one in this has seized at some point by the looks, and damaged when someone has tried to remove it.

    I could probs fix with a new barrel as pistons are cheap, or another motor if someone has one? Thamls #capebike
