Sounds like a bad earth.

If it's standard wiring earth is white, not black btw

Oh man - this had me fizzing today when I spotted it.. 

 

Down To Freight? 

There's only one, maybe 2 hills I can think of that's close to porika. They're not loose rocks though like porika 

This is what I had on the xr when I did the scout mission for melee

In the tank bag- Mtb multi tool, 12 socket because the tool didn't have one, bike pump and gauge, knife. 

Factory tool box- pliers and side cutters, 10mm spanner, nut fucker, 14/19 spanner and screwdriver minus handle unfortunately which I think came with the bike 

Under the seat- 2 big screwdrivers for getting tyres off, 14 17 19 24 spanners for the axle bolts, cable ties, puncture kit.

And I changed tyres using only these tools before I went to make sure it was doable.

Accommodation 

Unfortunately there's not really big motels/cabins in this part of the world. I tried to stop in places that have at least something, and is still on route.

Night 1. There is only a couple places to stay in st Bathans so you all better get in sooner rather than later for beds. I think it may even be that you might have to book the whole place then divide it up between yourselves. If you have to stay at somewhere like Omakau then we can meet up en-route to Thompson gorge. I'll be camping at the st Bathans domain campsite. 

Night 2. Waikaia there is a hotel/motel, and a holiday park. I'll be camping at Piano Flat campsite which is about 20 mins up the road which we will be heading up the next day. 

Night 3. Ranfurly has a holiday park motel/cabins, motel and hotel. I'll be at either the holiday park, or Waipiata domain which is about 15 minutes away.

Could a YB100 be a suitable candidate for such an adventure?

(Asking for a friend)

It'd be fun. Dodge the big potholes

@WankBankA100 has a100, basically the same?

What a tease

It makes you look younger too

Whatever it is, it's in the wrong thread 

Internet also tells me cf moto 650 is copy of kawasaki (licence?) And is also fitted to this

This will become the wifs bike when she gets some more confidence 

They are cf moto powered 

KTM buys engines from cf moto

Barry teaser

This is part of day 1

Two days late...

Undercar on Hayton road does them too

Is your baby going to be a boy? 

The punishing ride home afterwards would be the worst
