    has that @UTERUS cunt pulled out?
  2. BLIZZO
    Yea man the exhaust is from Abey in Malaysia, it’s got a pretty small ID on the header (19mm) don’t think I would want it on anything bigger than a 110

    over the last 5 or so weeks ive been working at night smashing out a cub build for a workmate of @Sparkles. initially was gunna be wang a lifan at it and some low bars but old mate changed his mind and it transformed into a 100% stripdown for paint and then a pretty involved build. frame turned out to originally be a 90 so needed modifications to mount a lifan engine which then caused a few more issues as the engine sat further forward, so exhaust had to be modified to fit. Not too much custom fab work just little things like handle bar mount and light brackets and a few other bits and bobs, running no battery and lights straight off the rectifier. Wanged some new michelin tyres on it which seem to feel really nice, turned out to look like a damn sweet bike i reckon.

    Sooooooo another scoot collected by some GCs today, cheers @Threeonthetree and @GuyWithAviators, this one is not for me though. lately my old man has been pining my small bike collection and has hinted he would like one again. He’s almost retired now and have recently just downsized their section considerably so has a bit more time on his hands. He did his apprenticeship as a jockey and worked as a jump jockey from like age 13-29, after a very successful race career a massive spade of 2 dozen concussions and a badly broken back forced his retirement and my grandad got him a job as a meter reader with the power board, and he’s still doing that to this day. his first vehicle with the power board was a blue Suzuki FR70, here’s me cheesing on it taking big bear for a hoon So this early FR50 has been on trademe for a while, both @Snoozin and @Threeonthetree had viewed it and said it was pretty tidy. When Richie said he wasn’t to keen anymore I jumped on it. and tonight those GCs above collected it for me!! Have until September which is the old boys birthday that I will surprise him with it. Will do a little bit of tidying before them, maybe new tyres, get it road legal, general maintenance. Honestly can’t wait to hoon into their cul-de-sac and see the look on his face!

    welllll i mentioned a wee while ago that i had scored a bargain a CB50 off trademe, only problem was it was in kerikeri, so i didnt pick it up for ages as the owner was happy to store it in his lockup. Anyhow fast forward to last weekend and i had convinced the wife of a lovely long weekend holiday in Paihia before baby no2 arrives, there just happened to be a bike to collect while we were there, so yea, that happened. the dude that was selling it now lives in auckland so his pommy expat old man let us into the storage unit. such an awesome dude, great yarns about moving to auckland and how much they love it here, the brought the CB50 about 10 years ago for his boys to potter around kerikeri on without getting into too much trouble, he was super stoked to see it go to someone that was pining it. so got it home and took a before picture before i rip it to bits in my style i absolutely love the patina, seat is soooooo chunny though. took it for some hoons and even after cleaning the carb its running real rich and fouls the plug after a few mins, WOT is great when its running tho and smacks over 80kph some what easy which is amaze for a 50cc 4 stroke for this vintage. new aliexpress carb on its was should sort it. ordered a whole bunch of parts to make it cool and promised myself i wouldn't touch the bike until the bits arrived. that promise lasted about 3 hours hopefully the frame hoop arrives soon and i can get the seat mounted properly. will eventually wang some 3" tyres on it too which should look quite cool. there is several bikes in my garage now, all partially disassembled and not ride-able. I'm silly

    Yayyyy Markku has the pine again, looking forward to east caping with you man!
  7. BLIZZO
    seedy has a c90 which would be fine, he just needs to put a new carb on it so it runs for more than 5 mins haha. cmonnnnnn @Seedy Al do it!
  8. BLIZZO
    Nah no over the top here @Seedy Al, I think we just want everyone to be aware that it’s a pretty big mission and don’t bring a complete pile of shit. We had a pretty good system down for breakdowns by the end of it last year. No hard feelings if ya bike breaks etc, that’s a given taking shit bikes in this sort of mission, just make sure you have the basics to handle minor repairs (tubes etc) other than that we can trailer it to the lunch stop / evening stop and fix properly, we just can’t have too many delays during the day when we have big distances to cover. but actually it’s fuckinf run just riding scooters and drinking booze, you would love the shit out of it
  9. BLIZZO
    how do i choose what bike to bring this year, st90 would be fastest, 140cc cub would be fun but punishing, or CB50 for the challenge of doing it on a 50
  10. BLIZZO
    Yea man I’ll likely haul a trailer and can fit scoots in the back of the Ute also. Depending how many other peoples shit I’m taking up will determine how many spare bikes I bring. Ask raizer about that spanny, those Ali ones are pretty average and you would need to re jet so it doesn’t lean out and kill it. He has technigas ones pretty cheap, could probs flick the Ali one off on the tard
  11. BLIZZO
    Probs need to note you need the dio mount to hack, throw the nifty one in the bin
  12. BLIZZO
    Nah no photos of mounts soz, I just hacked and welded where needed. Would almost be easier to cut the joining truss bits off and just start with the “tubes” and use some SHS to joint together, wound up being quite offset to make it all line up lush. This thing went pretty hard for what it was to be honest , I rode for a bit then flicked on trademe and sold it for $1200 hoons- https://youtu.be/mRhrfyozOJw sale pics-
  13. BLIZZO
    Yea bart a dio would be lush!! Chuck a $30 AliExpress performance variator on it and as you said a belt, fresh piston will never hurt. I’d happily smash the journey on a dio. As you say you see so much more at this speed!! I’d you got your scoot to Wellington I could grab it when I’m down there for work and bring it up with me from the mighty Manawatu
  14. BLIZZO
    Yea this def doesn’t need to scare people off / too much thought in it, and the whole point in it like said is to do it on shit small bikes. i guess what we are getting across is make sure that bike isn’t an FA50, as hills would kill it. Modern CVT scoots are fine for this, a stock standard 50cc 4 stroke ruckus did it fine last year, the best thing about modern 50s is they tend to be reliable. Jamie had all his fuel and shit under the seat and then wore a backpack with his clothes, couple of pairs of undies and a couple of tee shirts and your sweet, I didn’t bring any wet weathers or anything last year. If we take my Ute we will have a canopy to put everyone’s bedding / tents and shit in, but stuff you may need on the ride needs to be on your person (basic tools, fuel, spare tube etc) as if that stuff happens the best thing to do is have 1 or 2 people stay with you while you fix and the rest of the group keep going and catch up with them at the next stop. It means you may miss 90% of a lunch stop but doesn’t slow anyone down. I think taking my Ute is a really good idea actually, it has a fixed VHF radio and I have a portable I can bring that tee leading bike can take, so tail can talk to the head. It also has fleetlink radio and a PLB so we can get contact out of cell reception / pull PLB in case of emergency
  15. BLIZZO
    There isn’t that much gravel bart, maybe 15kms of shit deep gravel then the motu is super hard pack swept gravel kinda just like concrete. Jamie has an SJ50 scoot and didn’t slow us down.
  16. BLIZZO
    I don’t wanna put anyone off coming or anything if you have a bike that’s too slow / unreliable aka @64vauxhall your gunna have a bad time, and so will everyone else waiting for you, unless you have a lush vity as a backup bike.
  17. BLIZZO
    There is a big difference between a bike that maxes 60 but shit up hills and one that has a top speed of 60 but still pulls hills good. I don’t thi k you would want anything slower than the modded SJ to be honest. Our CT’s / Logan’s can do 80-90 but we cruise at 70, and that’s why the love the big trips. A small 50cc tapped out WOT to hold 60 for 650km is likely gunna die. Lifan everything / steal a mudbug. This is also a great ride for small bikes, Bloke on A GN250 has a great time.
  18. BLIZZO
    Blood and guts jim! If we take my Ute as support vehicle we will have bush radio to tell the mad dog loggers to fuck off. If not I can bring a portable / we won’t be going fast enough to cause trouble anyway.
  19. BLIZZO
    Group food would just be another mindfuck and probably take longer tbh, that trike down food place was a joke, I’d say just hope we don’t have that / bring lots of snacks and durries
  20. BLIZZO
    To be honest i Would be very interested in going anti clockwise this year, I think it would solve a few problems - everyone would be fresh and alert for the most technical part of riding of the whole trip - we will have a bit more time to do that long Motu / rere falls part of the ride as we won’t be rushing to get back so people can get on the road - it would mix it up a bit for those that did it last year - the last “night” could be a massive pissup with everyone staying at the same spot at hicks bay so yea I think that could be a good option. Main benefit is allowing more time for the coolest part of the ride, and will give it a bit more time if people have issues. It also puts us in gizzy after the first day which would be ideal for fixing first day issues as we will have raizers workshop, rather than fixing shit with flax and nut fuckers at hicks bay. tell me I’m wrong k thx
  21. BLIZZO
    Leave approved by missus, I’m in!
  22. BLIZZO
    ill put my leave in with the missus now. Will probs bring ST90 if the build proves reliable on rides leading up to it. if not i have XR250 as backup but i feel thats cheating. @Dolan has a CT110 now and i reckon he would piss cheese at this ride so will try egg him on. keen for same gizzy accomodation, keen to not sleep on wooden floor at hicks bay, might bring a bed roll this time. ill be driving my work ute (new ranger) up, ill check our insurance policy but if its insured for randoms im more than happy for someone sensible to drive that as the support vehicle. has canopy so means we can throw gear / bedding / booze etc in it rather than load the bikes up too much. seig fuck
  23. BLIZZO
    Yea man i rocked my bum pinchers vest which is a large black and white patch and i had no negativity etc. although i was riding a red bike with a red helmet and red bag, lucky colour choice for that part of the country, i had about 16 hearty as seigs thrown up at me throughout the journey.
  24. BLIZZO
    Sooo decided about a fortnight ago I needed to rip into this XR and give it a good tidy up, have ordered all new bearings and bushes, fork kits etc. gunna just tidy everything and bring it back to its former glory but not with the red seat and blue features The stripping really is the easy part. I have all alloy bits a good buff with scourer pads and a very casual low effort polish once the frame was completely bare I sent it to the sandblasters and then straight to powder coat where it has a phosphate rust cover, a zinc rust preventative powder coat and then an arctic white UV resistant top coat Even managed to get the engine back in without chipping anything.
