This is an interesting point. Does VVT mean we can tune engines to suit a set runner length at different points throughout the rev rage? I guess it does.

I've been chipping away at a few things on this. Had some panelwork done and made myself super itchy doing fibreglass work. Should have it ready for paint soon . Took it for a skid to blow out the cobwebs anyway.

I've been wondering... How did the Red Flaggots go with packing up their bikes to ship back to Auckland? Get everything done in time? @Tumeke @slacker.cam @sentra @peteretep

We've come a long way eh. It used to be push rod engines with bike carbs, now it's Prius engines with drive-by-wire bike throttles.

This was take 1:

What a ride! This year was top notch again and it was awesome to explore a bunch of new roads. Feels like there's a whole lot of great roads left to explore around the sounds. Thanks to everyone who had a hand in organising and driving support. @- i5oogt - @JustHarry @ThePog you guys are all legends. Really appreciate your efforts. And a massive churr to @BLIZZOfor the transport. Here's a few pics: Robinhood Bay: Tumbledown Bay: Havelock: Mt Patriarch: @ThePog repairing my guard bracket on Sunday morning.

Yep, gotta be the MX this time.

Leave booked . Time to bring the bike home and get it ready to roll!

It's been so long that we can almost move this into the olsschool project section...

Fuck yeah, slurpy bois are doing the mahi.

Following for spicy ramen doorts.

Just IRL lols remembering these things. That boomer didn't even seem to care about running over that helmet!

Also, huge thanks to John yet again for being so accommodating to everyone and organising another amazing ride. It was super fun and definitely a different experience riding all the way from Palmy on a medium bike with a load of gear on the back. We had an awesome time hooning through from Hastings to Ohope via Waikaremoana on Thursday. The crew before we left Hastings: Up the top of the Waikaremoana road: A medium sized problem for @BLIZZO. @Pee Dubs had a similar problem a few corners earlier (vid to come hopefully). This is what happens when you bring a small bike on a medium adventure! These road workers were great chaps and helped us get down the road to Jan's mechanics shop. Jan was very accommodating and opened the workshop for us to use her tools. She even had a selection of obscure spark plugs that included the right one for @iwanttobeamole's bike. She also let us buy refreshments from her shop. You'd think she was serving milkshakes with the number of boys we brought to her yard! Sadly the CB125T's run was over for the weekend with no compression on the left cylinder. John made the trip out to scoop up Murray and the bike. Thanks again John! This tyre only had a medium level of wear at the start of the trip, but that big block 250 rubbed the knobs clean off. Luckily John had a spare Kenda Trackmaster in stock, so we did a quick swapsy on Thursday evening. Thanks again John! With that out of the way, we managed to get cracking on Friday morning. This is another thanks John moment too! As he loaned Murray his XL185 for the rest of the journey. That's a more medium sized bike! XR250R in the wild: @TimShadboltfan27 had a medium sized issue in the closing moments of Saturday afternoon. All sorted with the help of @Duke Blackwoodand a few PPSC mincers. On Sunday I was very very hungover and didn't take many photos. 250 life is pretty sweet! If anyone wants to come along for some medium bike adventures let me know. We'll be doing a bunch of riding this summer and it's pretty easy to cover big miles over a weekend. I think we'll be back on small bikes for east cape next year though .

So good. A few of us took the long way home on our way back to Palmy and smashed another few K's of gravel while chasing waterfalls down Turakina Valley Road.

Ouch man, that's rough. How bent are you?

Maybe a backflip over one of these badboys?

I like you already. You can join the PPSC crew for camping in Gizzy and Hicks Bay @TimShadboltfan27is our accommodation booking agent.

Tru tests are thumb throttle m9. I can't see a rule against poke 'n' squirt's.

Time to start a channel for the big boys club. @MediumBikeStuff

This things coming together well! ... You should consider joining our 250 gang for the East Cape mission in November. We're going to start from Palmy .

We haven't caught up for the last few months... But with Spring arriving, we should definitely make a catchup happen soon!

So what you're saying is: FA50's are fine.

Haven't watched the video yet, but are the red bulbs anti-reversion chambers?
