This 110cc 2T twist and go with knobblies keeps screaming out at me every time I walk past it. Must. Build. HONDA.

Mod mirrors.

Weow! Hopefully next door. Is this a keys in bowl, door unlocked type situation?

I did it on booking.com, did it on there last year for them too. Only reason I did it there as opposed to direct is because it says I didn't have to pay till arrival. Could be easy to just to call them and tell ol' lass on the counter you want a ground floor unit and she'll hold it? They're pretty oldschool and easy as to deal with. Number is: 06-868 4139

Defs got the right night. Won't be nude snuggling alone.

Yeah that one.

Accommodation booked for Saturday night at Waikanae Beach Motel. @GuyWithAviators, @Shakotom and I. I sleep nude btw guys.

You can get a generic trademe throttle tube for pit bikes and then get a matching set of grips. Measure ideal length of throttle cable and buy a pitbike one a similar length. I manged to make that work with OG handle bars. Though @Shakotom possibly used the OG slide set up? Not 100 sure. It's an easy work around either way.

Jesus, with the lighthouse and back that will be 1100km. Trooper!

WWCCD?

My bike will have speakers this year. Was always a good time when stopped hearing backstreet boys etc pumping out of the bikes. Also looking at getting a walkie talkie helmet insert thing from AliExpress that @GuyWithAviators parents had when we rode in chch with them. Was as awesome as fuck from what I saw. They would just randomly both stop at the same time. I would wonder how they both knew to stop at the same time; duh - AE cheap ear radio thing , dunno how many people can chat but having someone else to sharn too and set up organised drafting and slingshot shake and bake speed passes at 70.2kph sounds like fun.

Awesome! Nice work man. How long is your commute home, and how fast do you reckon it was going? Cool bikes man. So many wicked things can be done to them. Have you got any ideas on how you want it looking for Eastcape?

Probably time I shared this again. This video captures 2017 Eastcapescapade down to a T. Cheers @BLIZZO.

Come. Sweet. Have mirrors, you won't crash. Also just make sure rear rack is strongish, I had enough storage between the beer crate and my backpack, I'm just too stubborn to wear my backpack because back patches. Stuffed my bag and spares etc into crate on rear rack, it bent and was being held up by the tail light after the first day. My rack was a super thin ebay one though, OG ones might fair much better than my chinesium one. All in all; you're more sensible than me and your bike will be perfect.

Might bring a wreath to lay down at my accident corner this year. Lest we we forget my foot peg.

Which bike are you bringing this year @Vintage Grumble? Stock modern postie steeze or monster postie sleeper?

The Zoomer had nothing wrong with it, (and I'm hesitant to mention speed because it seems to put a barrier up for those who haven't been) except for the fact they spent most of the ride alone. Leaving 20 minutes before everyone, then arriving at each stop a little after everyone else. It didn't actually hold us up one bit. The bike itself was super suited to the terrain with it's fat wheels etc. Just would have been a semi lonely ride. If it had 10-15KPH higher cruising speed it would have been right among the pack.

Collarbone says otherwise tbh. Okay maybe it was my footpegs. Either way. Keen for more storage than Chaly had. Don't wanna cover up my vest with a backpack so the locals can see how much of a bishhhh I am with my hello kitty patch.

Nothing really that ridiculous. Having some kind of comfort and reliability over 3 days without having a big bike is the aim. This was last years line up: In hindsight my Chaly was way too low for certain parts of the ride and I wouldn't personally bring something that low again. Looking at us from a distance, people probably thought @64vauxhall taking me 2 up was ridiculous but in all honesty that bike did extremely well and had several men nut butting on it over the course of the weekend without fail.

Plz Greg.

Just another spam of this because I watched it today. This, in reverse!

Anywhere in Gisborne is fine for the first night. Not a massive town, can't really end up too far from everyone. We stayed at 2 places last year and just met up at @Raizer's in the AM. Second night: Yes on the grass at the bach I think. @HighLUX? Alternatively Te Araroa Holiday Park, 15 minutes ride away. Bach will be more awesome for socialising etc I believe.

Put in bigger jet, attach spanny. Fill crate with beer. Drink and ride down 'closed road' till you fall off. All questions shall then be answered. Enough distance (3-4 big bots) to try lean seize it before you fall off and find out if it traps you.

Post update is awesome, makes sense and has me audibly fizzing from the Bunghole. @Shakotom, @GuyWithAviators and I will most definitely be staying in the same place in Gisborne. Waikanae Beach Motel. They have ground floor/garden view units which have a good space out back to hide bikes. A little more than a hostel, but it's not a hostel. Seemed to be a few families etc there last year. There was another group that stayed there too. Old lady was happy as for us to keep the bikes safe out back and was most curious about what we were upto. Asked if we were part of those 'Vespa Jokers' that came a few months back. You can book now and pay on the day. All in all I've got a shiieeeet ton of things on in the 2nd half of this year so I'll be sorting this asap. Looking forward to Succelent group sharns/eats/rides/purple goannas.
