BLIZZO Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hey lads I’m sure I can still supply a support vehicle. I’ll just run it by the boss that’s all and might just have to give the office a copy of said drivers license for insurance purposes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64valiant Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Worse case @Archetype should just drive the doozi single seater... Vespa has been going well. Hope to get some open road riding on it this weekend and clock up some kms see how it's all going. Wheel stands are on point. And need to see how I'm going to do this luggage thing. @HighLUX ill be joining you on that ride for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mop Head Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 This is the whole of my East Cape bike progress so far. Going well to be honest. I think? Will try scrounge wheels tomorrow. Last day in Malaysia before I’m back home. 3 months has to be lies. Time is passing so quick! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mop Head Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Okay acquired some wheels. Want 72 spoke chromies but couldn’t find any. Always wanted a set of these rims so got a complete set with sprockets, bushes, bearings and all. $198 later; stoked as. Would have been a lot more to get them all sourced and sent to NZ. Will actually make a bike for Eastcape now. May or may not use Vaseline. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good scores dude Yeah man; took a bit of effort to actually get them to understand what I wanted. If I asked for cub stuff they got confused and said nope; can’t help. So I told them I have the first edition Honda EX5; which basically has the same set up as the cubs. Eventually after double checking with me if I really wanted each little item they understood I wanted a complete set; one of the guys from the next shop over came and had a sharn and helped them understand what I meant. The street I got them from had about 6 shops beside each other. They’re 1.40 and 1.60 x 17”. Pretty damn stoked! Had priced up getting a set shipped home a few months back but it was gonna be more than twice the price. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64valiant Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Got a solid 110 kms to my tank of gas yesterday. Will not be carrying a Jerry can for back up of gas this year. A powerade bottle will be enough. Testing went well for 200kms. Gravel roads and nice open road country side. Can not wait. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mop Head Posted August 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2018 Official gotta get my shit together moment happened today. Chosen colour in my head, gonna blast the frame this week coming. Might have to pillage the 125 from my Chaly for the cape weekend. Planning on a larger power plant in the long run though. Very excited about the bigger fuel tank than the Chaly had. Needed to get some inspiration in my head so threw a rim in there today for looks. Heres the only teaser till it’s done: 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 @Chris.QCR How large of a delegation will be attending this from your club? And how are you getting your bikes up? I've begun pricing up getting Ronnie the Dio sent up. If you guys have space with your bikes, I'm more than happy to make a contribution toward your costs.
