Chuur, at this stage we have a willing MaxPower and Thphantum, which should probably cover it, maybe, hopefully, probably.

Sweet. I'll PM him and see what he reckons.

An excellent question, any takers?

Also, I'm going to forward each persons entry form back to themselves, cause someone else has entered twice, 1hr apart. Also it might be nice to have a copy of what you agreed to.

@00quattro00 You only intended to submit one form, yes?

I have set the entry form to turn itself off at 40 entries at this stage. I'm sure there might be the odd entrant that has to pull out for whatever reason, and we can probably squeeze a few exceptions in over that number as well. But I think 40 is about right. We ended up somewhere around there the last 2 years.

Yes! I Have been meaning to do that. Will get onto it now.

Air NZ left us, so it's Chatham Air into Whakatane only now.

I'll get you from Whakatane airport

I have 1 available at Waikaremoana.

Yes, excellent point. Will do so now. You are right though, Day One Friday 27th Gisborne, Day Two Saturday 28th Waikaremoana, Day Three Sunday 29th return home.

Jesus, the only thing more flogged out then that would be Al's Mum.

Entry form now available, updated first post to show this. https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/o8ODd4xN33JkM6f04

I guess I ought to, even if it is only to harvest the phone numbers of your respective wives and mothers.

Oh hey wow, its June. What kinds of things ought to be sorted out and thought about?

That rear tyre does look amazing.

Man this is fucking ages away, someone speed up time.

Alright, alright, alright! Without knowing what the rest of the year has up its sleeve, how about we try have a thing to look forward to. Subject to change possibly, who knows! Would anyone like to go for a bike ride in late November 2020? 27, 28, 29? Being rather busy at the moment, and for the foreseeable future, this time round I propose we just do last years route in clockwise direction. What you reckon? Friday 27th will take us from near Ohope, through Opotiki, the Old Motu Road, Whakarau Road, into Gisborne. Party on Garth, Party on Wayne. Saturday 28th will take us from Gisborne, through Parikanapa Road to stop at Tiniroto for lunch, through Ohuka Road onto Waikaremoana for the night. Serenity. Sunday 29th will take us through Te Urewera, past Ruatahuna and Galatea (with potential for death lunch at Murupara), we carry on over Lake Matahina Dam, through Awakeri & Taneatua, and finally through Stanley Road to our conclusion.

Last year for comparison. Will try keep this updated as details come to hand/I can be bothered.

The planets were aligning, and I thought for a minute there I'd be joining you lot. But would agree with @HighLUX at this point, possibly all go for solo rides at our respective locations instead. Not quite the same though eh.

It is a bit of a hoot. I thought I'd gotten over my lust for getting another something like my old street legal RMX250 again. But have been looking at CRM250 again lately. Piiine. I'm a cheap cunt though. Took the 185 and achieved its first WOF in 22 years today. Straight through M8! Its so quiet you can really take in the serenity, and not upset the livestock. Although I did get a very non-committed fist shake from a broken man in a people mover, when I left the road at 50clicks and quietly, purred across some grass siding. I think he was torn between old man angst and confusion, at the mediocrity of my transgression. IMG_20200316_182613 by John Bell, on Flickr

185 also came with original registration and story which I enjoyed. The mans work told him not to drive the work vehicle home at night, so he bought a bike, shortly thereafter they told him there wasn't enough room at the depot to park all the work vehicles, and that he needed to drive it home at night. Looks like he bought bike in '97, and WOF expired in '98. Sounds like he'd used it here and there to ride around the yard and up and down the driveway, but pretty much sat in the shed since.
