Archetype Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I thought I'd be better off rolling and spreading the load, rather than sliding and grazing myself. It sure didn't feel graceful though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Having never ridden longer than 30 minutes on a bike on the road before, I can thoroughly recommend doing such a trip. Mad props to J dogg for gettin 'er dun and making the event happen, you should be stoked that everyone got home alive and we all had a blast. Also huge thanks for lending me your CT110, I was pining all weekend on it and even the Gisborne Road Pirates were frothing at us doing the trip. 11/10 would punish my bumhole again. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post keltik Posted November 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2017 Well everyone else has done some kinda wrap up, so lets see what I've got in the tank... Most reliable likely to run forever bike (2015 GN125) was the first to die by fouling a plug at the start line. Gyros are fucking weird and don't appear to use physics. Spooked cows can hold a solid 30kph for a surprising amount of time. The lighthouse walk stairs, holy fuck, the stairs. Whoever wrote step 301 on approx the 600th step, well played sir. You crushed my spirits. Blood 'n guts is a thing. Raizers scooter is mental quick. Was impressed at 70, blown away at 90 and questioning my speedo at 105kph when it was still behind me. @MopedNZ needing better mirrors on the Chaly so he can look forwards while looking backwards. Rere falls was lovely, the road there was most excellent. Waterslide thingy was super neat and how nobody fell off the air mattress when it spun backwards half way down was incredible. Motu road was fucking brutal on a nearly bald front road tire with my super average dirt riding skills. GN250 trikes exist. Not sure why. Getting wet plums in the rain and not being able to see shit through a tinted dirty smeary visor made the end of the ride feel like a genuine accomplishment. That time @Shakotom nearly died down a ravine but didnt. A+ everyone. Very enjoyable trip and great to see the run down forgotten wasteland that was "The Coast". 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakotom Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Spot the ST Bike was probably about 3m down the almost vertical cliff, stuck in a tree still running. I carried on and ended up in the darkness probably 10 or 15m down the bank stopped by a tree and some rocks after going through the air and tumbling through a fair bit of Bush/trees. rookie move. Think I’m gonna sew some back armour into my vest now 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64valiant Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Never in the world would I recommend the feeling I felt when I rode passed and heard a "HELLO" coming from the middle of nowhere..... A hole lot of fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Was followed. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 A day after completing this it has dawned on me how ludicrous of an idea it was but fuck me what a blast As someone who has never done any riding on the road before Im well chuffed that I didnt die on what was the least suited bike for the trip Smokey Sue the SJ looked after me all weekend without a single issue except using all of the fuels because she was tapped out for most of the tarmac sections and fuck she goez hard for wot it iz. Bit slow on the flat but a demon on the hills if I kept her on pipe. @Raizer did a fine job of tweaking its 2 strokes to make it peel out so hard. Mad props to all the GC's I rode with, Nan and the others at the Razza that signed us in so we could drink beers and the 6 year old girl in Tokomaru Bay for the double seig salute as 50ccs of angry bees hooned past her 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64valiant Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Oh man I need to see that video of us in the bowl at the skate park @Shakotom. The kids loved me doing a wheel stand on the scooter also. Man what a hoot of a Weekend. Also just done some calculations and it came to. Minus the 20 dollars Brent gave me. Wouldn't bat an eye lid at doing it again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're also probably the only one who'd survive it unscathed too haha 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mop Head Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Here’s the link for an album of Eastcapescapade on the Moped NZ page. Click here for Eastcapescapade photos.

So had everyone working on it. Got it going and off I went. Had to stop and Take this photo I was so happy to be on my scoot. Next stop was the petrol station. And followed up with me and the scoot braking down. So the next few hours went passed with me in the back of a jimny. Back to Johns place grab the spare bike and play catch up began. 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raizer Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Yeap, it hung around in the crankcase after it finished destroying the piston and cylinder too. Greg's lucky it seems to Have kept out of the bearings at least so the bottom end is all good to go again. Not seeing any signs it was running lean either, so I don't think it was soft seizing like the initial call, rather the clip was jamming things up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
