Whites is just quite annoying at keeping solid stock. If stuff sells out it's popular. But only when their 12 month forecasting is done for the following year do they increase order amounts. 

Lamesharn. 

Gonna throw some SR241's on the WABE soon. 

That's the problem when one supplier absolutely dominates the parts importation business. No fucks given...

Yeh, cause 3 dudes wanting  couple of pairs once a year is definitely worth holding stock for... (wheres the sarcasm font)

 

Hey beaver, get your facts straight. It's 4 dudes ok?

Haha

Arrival has been pushed back to 15 October. Will keep an eye on it. 

Ah, awesome mate... (Not awesome about date being pushed out - last time it took me 6-9 months from memory to get my indent order of Shinko's).

Hopefully they'll start keeping better stock of the Shinko SR241 range in NZ moving forward.

Hi people. 

I like tyres and can get all of them. 

Whilst SR241's are a mad dog tyre (and can definitely fit a 1.4 wheel - main issue is fitment between forks and/or guards) There are other options available. Well there is one option. 

You can get these:



Available in 2.50/2.75/3.00x18. 
Also available in 2.50/2.75/3.00x18

Also soz. But the NZ supplier will only have a couple of SR241's till later this month because I just ordered most of them.

TOP TIP: Use heavy duty 17" tubes for max non flat tyres. 

Yo, did the SR241’s make it to NZ? The 18-2.75’s that is. Been keeping an eye out, and they’re just showing up as indent order everywhere...

But how will you attach the beers?

Just attach a 5L Heineken keg on the back with strops and she'll be alright! 

You guys reckon this would cut it for an aux petrol tank? And how plush is that seat?

@WankBankA100 a100 tank should be heaps big enough to just stop at stations. (was last year) 2T ecom + endurance commuter spec tank.

I was just short last time, I think. I really should have paid more attention. 7.5L main tank and 2-2.5L aux tank and she'll be all good!!!

scenes before @Truenotch brought out his seedy bottle of brown bag liquor and tried to Indian wrestle everyone

Personally I'd have been stoked if @Truenotch tried to wrestle me. Damn, missed out.

Remind me (could not be arsed trawling through 23 pages), what's the max k's between fuelups?

Wait, have you pre-ordered the SR241's from the order that's coming in later this month?

EDIT, i'm being a retard. You mean the current stock they have. Sweet. I'll fight you over the 18's!!

Anyone tried a Shinko SR241?

They do one narrow enough to fit my 1.4 wide wheels, but not sure if I'll be able to find any in NZ

I Run SR241's on my Suzuki A100 and they're gold. They won't always fit in your front fender though, as mine didn't. SO had to ditch the chrome special and replace with a UFO vintage dirt bike fender bolted to underside of the lower tripple clamp. Careful not running front fenders if your wiring loom hangs low, otherwise you'll do what I did and wear the insulators off the wires on the wiring loom when you bottom out the front, which you will on shitty old suspension.

I can confirm that there will be more in at the end of the month. I'll be snapping up 2 of them myself. There were 2 indent orders last year, one for 5, and mine for 8. So clearly Whites realised people wanted them!

@Truenotch
I'm eligible to receive a shirt? Whoop whoop! Yeah, I'm down for Thursday night.

Fuck yeah, the countdown beginzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

@Truenotch I promise I will not try kill you this year. #dontkickconesyousillyc*nt

Just to be overly enthusiastic, I am still keen to do this. Post Lockdown nangs?

Yeah, I’m defo in!

Also, that level of man love is making my eyes water!

Haha, that reminds me, need to sort out my vest some time.

Problem there is I'm a hard cunt in a real gang that's scary and has vests. Soooooooooooooo. I'm already giving up my Kaiser helmet for safety. Can't sacrifice much more. 

If you wanna get inbetween the real dirt track action you know where to find us. 

Wear a motorcycle jacket and it's not suuuch a huge issue. I found that the heat issue was only a problem when you stopped, at which point you take the jacket off.

I only wore t-shirts under my riding jacket last year, and if you get too hot, you can adjust the ventilation of the jacket on the fly to cool down.

I remember both years previous that even when it was so hot that you’d wanna pass out while stopped; as soon as we went into a valley or a road which was blocked from the direct sun I got cold real quick. 

I was surprised at how cold I got tbh. But then on the same day I was swimming at Rere falls because it was too hot. 

Layers are good. Also means that we can just strip for each other as entertainment beside the lake.

Correct.

This year I am the sole representative/ambassador for Te Wai Ponamu. I'll do my best to be as wild as five qcr. But in addition to my existing sharn portfolio, it's a tall order.

 

That saddens me! Those dudes were legends...

Is there a South Island equivalent of the Escapade/Undertaking?

I heard a rumour none of the QCR guys are making it up this year?

Although, on the topic of competition... I feel like a drag race between the all Suzuki 2 stroke's is in order at some point!

Yeah this isn't an oldschool event.

1979. Pft. 1967.

Refer to profile pic for response...

Defo no competition! My competition is with myself and my own ability to maintain a 40 year old 2 banger!

The hell? That bike's way too fancy for escapades! I'd be keen to see if that bike can still do an escapade when it's 40 years old like my A100 dual-banger!

On that note, I'm pretty sure that the manufacture date of my A100 is either November or December 1979. This undertaking will be it's 40th Birthday! I will celebrate by eating cake drinking beer, gin and/or purple goannas.

Prepping a road legal 49cc Motard for the event. 

New tyres and Chain today. Now for everything else! Got new front and rear pads/shoes for my bike + new black and gold chain for extra nangs. Looking forward to getting amongst it! 4 Stroke for the win.

Chur, for those around on Thursday night, I have an excess number of Beers. For those that enjoy Beers, and are not fussy what kind, drink my Beers.

Do you except campers on your lawn? Myself and TenFive would like to turn your lawn into a squatter camp for Thursday night. I will happily add to your excess of beers too.
