Epic. I think @Thphantum is also doing his usual tricks. Will be good to have a couple of rolling chefs/repair vehicles. -

That scoot you got doesn’t really have knobbly tyres around in its size. You’ll have to stick with the road ones probably. -

Nope. Will stay the same. Just the frame, swingers/wheels etc. Most excited about my CT125 switch blocks at the moment. -

A lot of overthinking about beer. Just buy it and people will come regardless. It's a good route with good people. People go for the ride not the brand of beer. -
@sentracome on mate you can do better than Hagen.

Thanks buddy. Just spend that money on another box of grommets next time mate.

No FXR motor sorry mate - just FX. 125cc. DOHC. 5 Speed. Same as FXR except less CC's and less gears. BBK's for the 150's fit apparently though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/362816506793 -

Pining for this. Bike has changed from FX powered to 140 powered due to weight and space issues. Big fat rear tyre I liked has had to be a bit smaller. About to cut a headstock from one bike and weld it to mine. Life is good. 101 days to go. -

They're 3Km from place to place. I imagine socialising will be at the Holiday park in Te Araroa and some of us will lightly jog back to the other place. -

Just came across this whilst editing another video. I'll miss this road this year (Video is unlisted, but viewable with the link.). Ft. @HighLUX. Still excite though. -

It's a farm bike. This whole ride is in support of the farmers, right? -

@Kassis helping me build this. Old Honda C110 frame from the early 60's. Front end (forks and wheel) + the swing arm/rear wheel are from a 2008 Honda CBR125. Will attempt to retain the monoshock for the rear. Tank is from a 70's? Honda CB100. Engine will hopefully be a 5 speed DOHC FX125 engine. It's a lot of work and we're barely started but it would be the ultimate off road pest machine for me. I was super excited about my alloy mags till I saw what happened to Aaron Card's wheel on molesworth, but just gonna send it. These are Honda branded Enkei's which is pretty cool for what was an entry level learner bike at the time. Disc front and rear will be absolutely lush. I have a fat 5.10x17 Shinko dual sport coming for the rear. I managed to get the original CT125 handle bars and switch blocks from Aaron's new CT125 he's chopped. Saw the Vietnamese dudes in Ho chi Minh using modern Honda switch blocks on old Dax's and Chalys and it looked kinda cool. Anyway, enough writing about it. Time to go and build it. *seat is from one of those old low rider chopper bicycles and was just for lol's. -

Might aswell mate. The scrooges are all bringing 250's actually designed to go off road. Might have to send them off ahead of everyone. 2 groups. I imagine the second the open road beckons the fellas that can go faster than 85 tapped will be gooooone anyway. -

Jeeezuz all you big block fellas might aswell just create a new event BACK IN MY DAY the whole point was being ridiculously under prepared whilst riding unsuited bikes. I've built about 3% of my Suzuki powered Honda Frankenstein. But bought bar clamps today. So we're more likely at 4% completion. 5 capes/Uruwera rides, 5 different bikes.
