GuyWithAviators Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 This is happening again. Sunday the 25th of September. https://www.gentlemansride.com/ I'll be there on my Yamaha V50 and Shakatom is registering interest with one of his steeds. Is there any interest in an OS contingent? Looks to be 115 registered riders for Auckland, should be wild! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ima try get my other FA50 going for this actually Have not had a go nope, has spark - checked that much. Bit of rust in the tank, and I got a new battery for it. Haven't chucked fuel in yet though, kinda concerned its gonna go flat stick into the wall or seize as someone has fucked with the automatic oil feed. So I guess I should try with premix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenTC Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I'm keen. Will bring the NC50 if running at that stage. If not I will have to ride modern. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyWithAviators Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Look forward to seeing you there GreenTC! NC50 would be better than something modern! http://www.gentlemansride.com/about/faq The event starts at Motat. Shakatom and I are coming from south so are going to meet at Z Panmure (434 Ellerslie - Panmure Hwy) and convoy there - not sure on time yet but anyone else around that area is welcome to join in! Then was thinking regroup at the Caltex by Motat (790 Great North Rd) to refuel and brap in to the venue together. More details to follow but this is a rough plan so far! Thoughts?

Shakotom Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I read something about rego opens at 730 and departs at 930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I'm gonna just go full rolling shots if I can't get my bike sorted by then. Whack the mrs in the drivers seat and hang a lens out the window, so to speak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Will pull gang signs Where you based man? Much to do on it? Ectect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Sunnynook on the shore. I haven't touched it. It has spark and compression and no gas in the tank (but its got a bit of rust). I cleaned up the carb etc - just concerned about the oil pump having been fucked with. Most importantly it's dead reg, would need to try my luck at an MR2B form or whatever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenTC Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Look forward to seeing you there GreenTC! NC50 would be better than something modern! I am unfortunately suffering from a severe lack of motivation. I cant seem to get the bloody ratcheting starter to work on the NC50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyWithAviators Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 This is tomorrow! I was looking at last years info and it doesn't start at Motat. It starts at: Auckland Post Office Building, 2 Lower Queen Street Auckland CBD. Shakatom and I are still convoying in from Z Panmure though. The ride has reached its 350 rider limit so if you're not already registered you'll be turned away. Let's hope the rain stays away so we can flood the CBD with the sweet sweet smell of 2t smoke!
