Willdat?

Cheers Alex, I was gonna be a tough guy about it but I'll need ever bit of power I can over the Whangamoas...Will give you a box of homebrew also if that's ok?

A beer from me if you arrive by small bike! We could possibly give you a lift back to nelson on Sunday and put bike in back of van.

Challenge accepted...leave pass approved also. I'm not sure if I'll need the ride back, will do a test run over to Mot in the coming weeks to see how it copes in a 100km/h area

It's not physically a small bike, made in Spain, sold for $5500 in 2001, when the RG150 was $2995 and the FXR150 $3495

But the engine is very small

Silvia is now sold...being picked up today, so unless it falls through?! Kaikoura is probably doable on the RMX 50...would be a fun mission if I get away earlyish

Keen, although most definitely hitching...orrr 50 cc missioning...

Nah...another year of maternity leave instead... Could donate $ to petrol fund though...

Just this side of Wanaka...9 hours with a trailer...

Well done, that's some serious commitment!

I know someone who was doing similar work in the UK for the last 3 years. I've forwarded the advert onto him.

Yup all ACC, diesel does not have an ACC component hence the need to charge it annually.

OT but

Had a bit of a play with new Hiace vans and did petrol vs diesel comparison iirc if you do more than about 3000km a year you're better off in a diesel.

I leave this weekend

Jealous

21kg is awesome...if you like ultralight this is a mate of mine...

I did Blenheim 128 km -> Kaikoura 133km-> Amberly 45km-> Chch back when I was 16, second day almost made me cry.

What time of year are you planning? Heaphy opens in May...

100km a day is pretty damn impressive self contained, look like a sweet route with some pretty impressive altitude gains. I assume you is a fit fucker...hot shower here if you feel like a bit of a soft finish...

I wouldn't call it light blue myself, but yep that'll be the one, has been built up over 10 or so years. He's also the guy on the Smith and Smith glass adverts...

No mention of Alex...

Rang NZTA, I just have to fill out an MR14 apparently, no inspection required!

I've just bought a Suzuki RMX 50 (liquid cooled, disc front and rear 6 speed!), went to update rego before I went to take it for a spin round the block. Bill came to $24.72 for 12 months...wait a minute mopeds aren't that cheap!

Question is, has anyone gone from Exempt B to regular rego? Guessing I might as well be rolling no rego if I leave it on Exempt B?

This hasn't come up in spot the classic in Blenheim has it? Not an Imp, but wife has said big boot = gooood

Edit: Q&A mentions Kaikoura, so probably not....

With the 1500 I slipped in also they may suspect something...

True, there are at least 2-3 MG RV8s that are local that I've seen at shows before...

Wonder what won/will win peoples choice?

Phwoar Triumph looks great, yeah I did a lap around 9-10 so I might have missed you. A few missing marques at the show...

Silvia is quite tame to drive...if you stay under 3500 rpm

Knowing how hard it is to organise a time to do noisy work on cars that doesn't wake the boys the $6900 Imp in Chch looks pretty appealing...just need to stop buying stuff like the Volvo!

I saw the Chevette today too, well I assume there's only one white sedan!

Talked to a really nice lady with an Imp, I'm starting to plant the idea in my wife's head...

Did the 2500 make it to the show? I think my brothers car was a bit of a dick magnet...

Good to meet you and Hannah too we'll see y'all on Sunday

Seeing the Viva in the flesh has bro and I more than a little inspired! Not too sure exactly what to do with said inspiration yet, probably saving some $ for a good base vehicle would be a start...looking at something that my Hannah thinks is awesome would probably be a good start... but not a Honda Odyssey

Will keep an eye out for the Viva, I'll be in a gunmetal S15 Silvia with gold wheels...

Any news on the 'cruise' tonight?
