Is anyone coming up from the S Island this year? Looking to get some parts brought up from Nelson.

Haha, you and me both... I haven't checked the MX100 since the Marlborough Moped Melee. Mine only seized a couple of times on the last day, so suuuurely it can't be too bad?

Fuck, fine grit sand paper and she'll be alright.

Have you at least replaced the piston on the 50?

@TimShadboltfan27

Look familiar?

Take a big one. Room for @Geophyand @Beavertoo!

I'd say easy take down 4 bikes. Me & @64valiant (If he wants) will be 2/4 capacity. WIll hound the boys to see who else will join. I think a mate of mine, Zac wants to come too. He'll be riding my adventure spec 1973 Honda CB100.

showing my interests in utepooling to wellington and riding bikes in the south island

I'll prolly put a towball on the avensis and take a trailer. Single cab was punishing.

I like having you on this ride Richard. When you're there, I'm not the guy everyone is waiting for. 

Good to know you like my humour...

@WankBankA100 has been hounding me to start this thread for months.

The sooner I know, the faster I can put it on our kitch calender, the more likely wife is to let me out of the house. I'm thirsty for activities after the break.

Does that mean you're in this year?!

Oh yes I am!

Tbh, I just want to come down. I'm happy with whatever you S-Islanders come up with.

Oh, I approve this thread....

Medium by name, medium by nature 

Sounds like overachieving to me.

How many spokes? That may work. 

Standard 36 spoke wheel. They're a bit shit, but that's what this event is all about!

I'd try around for some 17's first, but feel free to use me as a last resort. I do know that the brake shoes are the same between the C50's and CB100's. So I'm assuming the hubs will work with those hub plates and axles?

Anyone have a spare set of c50 wheels? Bent or rusted out is not a issue. Happy to pay in the form of purple goanna or pink pussys it little China. Have a old c102 I might try and bolt together. Failing that I will run the hemroid  hammer again. Cheers. 

I've got 18's from a CB100. Maaaaay fit?

Yeah I'm out this year. Last day of train driver training is the 11th so I'll be playing Microsoft train sim while everyone is smashing it round sh35

Who else is gonna wear the famous 'smoking blunts, swooping cunts' t-shirt? This is a serious loss.

New shiity bike acquired for this year.

Also keen to jump in on accommodation if any going or someone hasn't booked 

Nice A100!

I knew we were meant to be together.

Honestly, I'd go TF125. Keep an eye out on FB marketplace for the early 80's ones cause they used to be road registered sometimes. 

Get in there fast and you can pick one up for $500 with dead rego. Parts are easy to get cause it's a mudbug! Want to go faster? Slap in a TS125 motor.

been reading up on ts125, tc125 and ts185 bikes, I want to buy one but there are none around auckland I can look at IRL. I see that they are all a similar size and weight in the stats (and only slightly bigger than a CT), but does anyone have real world experience with them? Are they a big feeling bike, or not, and maybe how they compare to something like a CT90/110. Anything I should know/general review. Would you go for a 185 over a 125, or are they very similar, does the 185 feel way bigger?

TS185ER's are epic bikes. Solid motors and frames, but shit clutch cable routing and nasty plastics. All parts incl gasket sets and rod kits are standardly available in NZ from your Suzuki local. Only brake cable will need to be ebay sourced.

Good luck finding a road legal one for a reasonable price though.

Compared to a CT, they have a powerband that could take you by surprise. Way more go than a CT though. An extra more vicious 9hp or so. Nothing like water-cooled modern 2 strokes though.

Another cool bike for someone wanting a maybe cheap steed for Eastcape...

I'm also keen on sharing rooms at Hicks Bay and Gisborne. Who's keen to go ins on a room?

There's nothing I want to do more than share accommodation with you. Keens as beens.

Bit pricey for general cheapskates, but come rep a 2 stroke...

Is that the TS50 that siezed a few years back?

Fuck yeah! It's official. The missus gave me permission to exit the house for this event! I'm in.

@WankBankA100, I heard a vicious rumor that you're going  to leave us in the lurch????!!!

Sorry mate... Wifey spoke and had to do dad duties. Will be back next year with a vengeance.
