EEL BIRD

I am genuinely keen for this ride, will be keen to chip in with anyone heading down from the north island. Might even build a Honda for the occasion or just punish the hell out of the old two smoker again.

This looks like a solid mission!

100% down with any route this year, to old girl has been getting a bit of a hiding off road lately. The show must go on

Well since I have been in the South Island for the Burt Munro challenge on a extended holiday thanks to a cyclone. Maybe I should just stay here a bit longer and get my shit two stroke sent down lol.

On another note, the Burt Munro challenge has been on my list for years and finally decided to make the trip down from the Bay of Plenty. If there are other heading down and keen to share the road/ trip and sharns that would be cool. I don’t know if there is a event thread or not for Old school in regards to Burt Munro challenge, ( I have had a look) but if there is and someone could point me in the right direction I would be stoked. By the way I absolutely do not intend make the trip down on a small two stroke I have nick named the hemroid hammer. Definitely big bike but intend to camp along the way. Cheers.

To be fair he is in his late 80’s and can spin a sharn that would even make wankbank blush. African stone dildos is just the tip of the iceberg! When we plan to go past next time and if everyone is keen I could hit him up to take us on a guided tour of his station.

No shit that is the farmer I shot off to see to grab a chainsaw to cut the fallen tree across the road before Brian decided to show it who’s boss with the 70 series.

Ya I will be fitting a lush old man sheep Skin! Will start working on a better wheel and tyre combo. Maybe some better shocks for the back that actually move up and down over bumps. Definitely keen to jump in and share driving, fuel and sharns.

Hell no this Ali express carb is the ducks nuts. Best upgrade ever even if it not exactly planned…… hopefully I can play it forward on the next adventure.

Wankbank, pretty keen on giving this ride a crack. Definitely be keen on a bit of car pooling to get down. How did the A100 hold up last time? Will definitely be changing up tyre combo for this one and make a air box.

Massive thanks to Bucket Barry for the new carb and as always being a proper legend. The old two stroke has never ripped harder than with this $50 Ali express knock off jewell. Thanks again mate. 100% would trade again

Na mate all sorted for the ride.

Wankbank, do you still have those old cb100 wheels? Could also be down for dinner at hicks bay.

anyone planning on doing the primitive tent option this year?

How many spokes? That may work.

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.

On another note is anyone missing a 8” headlight from last year? Opened the box I put into Marks ute with all the random parts and bolts ect and there is a headlight in there.

Hell ya can’t wait. Already begun getting the bike ready for another torture test. Personaly think adding in the forth day or upping daily km’s to stay at the like would be awesome.

That will buff out mate. Riches the main jet and drop the needle down a few grooves and send it!

Anyone have a spare Ag100 front wheel laying around they would be willing to give up for a box of beer or sexual favours? Either or I am easy. Bop area or bring it along and I will bust a tyre on it in the morning/ night before if needed. Cheers guys

Getting there with bike Prep, need to sort accomodation for day two if anyone has a spot for two people or alternatively we’re are guys planning on tenting?
