They are. But only to people with Facebook it seems. Might be one of their ways to force people on it.

Again again

[Chris.QCR 8,675]

You guys cool with a truck full of QCR guys and thier bikes coming up for this ?

[johnnyfive 7,848]

Yeah for sure, more bikes more better. Will have to figure out some details of when/how etc I suppose.

[Raizer 15,656]

Grassman Scootercare will be open to reattach mufflers and QCR straight pipes mid way.

[Chris.QCR 8,675]

Awesome J5. We keen as after seeing the wildness you guys got up to. Off on a 350k ride next weekend up the alps . 

Ahaha Raizer ill just bring you guys plenty of ear plugs and calm down old man tshirts

Bump. 

 

Can we do this backwards this year? 

 

So keen. 

[Vintage Grumble 21,281]

I dunno about you, but my bike doesn't have reverse?

[UTERUS 16,169]

Nuts to nuts

[MopedNZ 7,009]

Start with Motu, good way to weed out the shit bikes. Would be a good last day too with that coastal road. Hmmmmnngggggghhhh. Food for thought. @GuyWithAviators came and tickled me for a couple of nights, we were planning/pining hard.

isnt this @johnnyfive brain child? 

coast ride was super easy and talking to a few others would be rad to do it the opposite direction.

This is why we did it the way we did it last time, thought it would be a down buzz to lose half the pack on day one.

[Vintage Grumble 21,281]

/To be honest, we had talked about doing a different ride this year, and maybe revisit the coast the year after, or summin.

[Chris.QCR 8,675]

Im still fizzing for this @johnnyfive ! So keen to ride with all you OS & Moped NZ guys again ! Got a solid pack of strong reliable bikes and real good cunts from QCR who are keen as fuck for these wild roads. We off on a 500k ride next weekend over the Southern Alps

Very good call. Broken bikes/bones are lame. 

[Shakotom 6,774]

Keen for eastcape

been planning stuff for a while now!

[Tumeke 5,983]

Is there a dates yet ?

[johnnyfive 7,848]

Oh hey hey, I suppose a new thread could be in order. 

No ones decided on a date yet but still Nov at this stage is a safe bet. 

We'd discussed the possibility of changing up the route somewhat to include places like the Mahia peninsula and/or the Ureweras but that might be a bit far/hard so maybe another time. 

Hitting the same route backwards would probably be fine, something to consider is possible work traffic on either the Motu Road/Rere falls side on a Friday. Probably a bit far away to know but heavy vehicles (logging etc) is a thing sometimes. I think its pretty standard for them to knock off on a Sunday. Food for thought. Would probably be sweet, might just have to take it a bit easier. (As an aside, I still can't get over how little traffic we struck the entire trip)

But yeah so perhaps I should fire up a new thread and attempting to lock in some details if there is the demand? 

[MopedNZ 7,009]

Ken as for new thread and deets.

Completely forgot about logging trucks too. I remember you guys warning us about that last time. I'm sure the same direction would be just as awesome, if not better than last year. Without the breakdowns etc we probably would have arrived at hicks bay way earlier which would be a cool place to hoon around in the late evening. Keen to check out that beach with the giant bulldozer boat towing machines and the selfie wharf again.

Definitely bringing a bike that isn't so low to the ground this year. 

Hopefully the RSA can get enough signatures for us again. BLOOD AND GUTS.
