I was def keen on this last year having yarns with those who rode it the previous year but Ive got a conflicting week in Queenstown on gravity powered two wheels so will have to pass sorry lads

Hell yeh !!

One of the reasons I still love checking in on this forum !

Oustanding Read and such a sick car ! Excited to follow along on another classic Josh automotive adventure !

Gaz Ramson & Mark 105 are the ones I know of also very bloody helpful GCs.

I remember Shaun riding the east cape escapade on a OG monkey with a 110 . Different terrain but still a big effort from a little bike

~238hp @ 8250 172 ft lb @ 6300rpm Ps. Dont understand most of your work but love it none the less ! Keep up the great work dude

Yeah you nailed it ! Cant believe I got so close and never heard it 😔 I even looked at it thru the window

What a fucking rad weekend ! It was 3 years since I last rode my bike on the Marlborough Mellee. It felt like more than 3 years. I lost confidence in the bike. The tyres felt like slicks all weekend. But being surrounded by GCs and such stunning scenery I didnt let it get me down and rode on. The new engine was a dud but Bart will land himself a couple of spare motors in good time. The CT certainly needs some love before the next ride but Ill get onto it sooner than later. Many thanks to the organising party Bart, Mof, Karl & Harry and also Josh for support. Mof really nailed the route. Lake Kaniere loop was a highlight for me on the bike and Nelson Creek was the highlight for the camp. Great times with great people will never get old even if we do. Seeing the older blokes on the OG CTs was so good to see and gave me hope for the future of such events. Many thanks to the organisers again and from someone who has organised events in the past and aware of how stressful leading up to it and how on the day it isnt as enjoyable as it is for those just particpating. So cheers ! Also really proud of Max & Simon for overcoming many challenges and making it thru to the end !

Easy ! My first battle is to drive home from Queenstown then start packing
