good, good, this thread needed more EA wags.

fantastic. will make some inquiries. fellow southerners, i open your discussion. @kyteler @Toddy415 @gettinroundtuit @danger

yeah i have met him before, visited his place, he's a good dude. i will get in touch with him to jack it up if enough interest from the other jokers. would the following weekend (18th) work for everybody? keen for haunted shandys tbh

Sweet pics. Shudda been called the Carbs and Points 500

Drag race? Puhuhu

Ahh, events have transpired against me. Pesky wof man did not approve of certain aspects of car's componentry. so wont be making it. Sorry fellas. Enjoy it, we'll see you for next months meat.

I have tailor made this thread for discussing meet ups in the southern country, so when decided i can make a single post and leave the chat for this one. March is coming soon, idea was tossed around to head to ranfurly and visit that dude with the sweet shed and nice things. Tis an hours drive from alex, with plenty of awesome country tavs to stop at along the way for a shandy. Any other suggestions? Warm regards

this reminds me, i should get onto organising another meat... lingling

yeah, keen for weather to improve. but still keen to come for a nosy.

Keeeeeeeeeeen. Should probs get a wof tbh

A sharn to make Bart look silly. facebook told me it was a year since i bought this off Goat Joe, and i thought it deserved its own thread. after being enthralled by the beauty of 2tang with my ax100, i pined for more oil burning goodness, but something a bit more legal. this popped up and i just had to have it. 125cc single cylinder, rotary valve induction 2 stroke. as much as i wanted to strip it and turn it into another cafe/brat racer, i couldn't get past its amazing looks as a bog standard commuter bike. these bikes are the weapon of choice for bucket racing, and the majority of GP125s have been scrapped and turned into track bikes. i wanted to retain some of its standard glory, but add my own touch to it. first step was clubman bars. made the bike feel better to ride, looked much cooler too. good for speed tuck tank huggin horsepower hunting stz. they looked rather out of place, so my next goal was to make the front of the bike look a bit cleaner, remove some of the cluster. enter $15 ebay indicators. flimsy, snap if you look at them funny, but they suited the bike and didnt draw any attention like the big dinner plate spec factory ones. Neal had also advertised a GP100 for sale. so i ended up with 2 of these glorious bikes. i managed to keep the header, and mudguards which i eventually trimmed up for my bike, still keeping an original untouched set. i also scored a tidy tail light from the modern motorcycle company which i fitted instead of the factory brick. then came the smaller details - it was too easy to remove the factory clocks and replace with a tiny speedo for max cleanness. but there's something about the OEM clocks, their aesthetic, and watching it climb to 11000 rpm making all of the noises. so instead of binning them i whipped up a pair of alloy spacers on the lathe and lowered the cluster to sit flush with the bars. and then i just kept on riding it. a whole bunch. evening pack rides with @Chunky_t . couldnt help but hoard bits for it. i scored some YSS shocks for it as well - they are bit too soft for my liking, but 10x better than factory items, and make me look like i go fast. then i stumbled across these throwing star mag wheels off of a GT250 X7 which i got for a steal. currently in the process of cleaning them up. then it came to queenstown to me. pretty awesome work vehicle. i asked work if they would reimburse me 2 stroke oil as well as fuel, but they said their wasn't an IRD standard covering oil consumption... after i slapped a wof on it, was time for a massive birthday - brake pads, chain, sprockets, clutch cable, front brake switch and so on. feels like a brand new bike mayte. next items on the list for this thing will be to trim the frame, seat pan and some plush upholstery, fit tyres to my alternate throwing star wheels for max GP replica stz, and make this bad boy fit... until next time.

For the stragglers we will meet at mitre 10 mega at 8:45. Enjoy

Yeah sweet! Try and make it out tomorrow for the barry pilgrimage. Think we are planning to head further into central on sundee, we are dismantling mazdas. Doit.jpg
