What's your sleeping plan if it rains, @Chris.QCR?

My Hammock tent has a fly that goes over the top. Have used it in some decent Mainland rain so should be sweet.

[cletus 33,640]

It appears mainland rain is not listed in forrest's comprehensive rain list

Just gonna throw it out there, the Bach is not a small lawn. Had plenty of room and will be where the main socialising happens on the whole trip - being Saturday night. 

If you stay at the holiday park it’s actually a solid ride over a small mountain. Not long, maybe 15 minutes. But definitely not a ride for more than a couple of beers deep.

Also @Shakotom don’t be a bisshhh and come sleep outside with the cool kids. 

 

Edit: Te Araroa holiday park is over the hill. According to google there is some kind of place closer by. Hicks bay motel and lodge.

I plan on drinking till we run out of booze again then finding my spots been snaked by someone else and napping wherever 

 

dont be a bisshhh and go to bed at 9pm again @MopedNZ

[Truenotch 7,819]

Paid. 

One of my friends is really keen to join in as well. He's looking at a small bike as we speak (usually rides a 750) and is super keen to get a ~100cc machine just for the east cape ride  .

You’re confusing Eastcape with Whitianga. And it was 7pm thank you.

I'll try make a conscious effort to drink more than 2 beers and not be the first to bed. Looking forward to it

is it ok if i bring my handbrake? she's keen if so, or is it a sausage fest only? will have a roof top tent, and sussed out a decent waterproof box trailer for the piss. will put up a pic of it sometime.

It's only a sausage fest because most girls don't find it appealing. I'm sure it'll be fine to bring her along. 

 

My partner was going to come along, but we've decided that her FZ50 might struggle!

I hope the roof top tent is on a Gyro with a canopy.

yea im leaving my wife at home, have continplated asking if she wanted to be back up and what not but i can do the east cape with her another day this is my weekend away to get fucked up fart and burp loudly while smelling like a peace of shit and do stupid shit with out getting looked at funny.


but buy all means your driving the saftey car if im not mistaken, so id advise having some one to talk to on your trip for sure.

How many seats does your car have? Think I read it was a ute. Just wondering where @MopedNZ will sit when he breaks his collarbone again. 

[HighLUX 30,351]

There is a track from the lodge on the hill to the beach below the bach for those who want a comfy bed but dont mind a stagger back up the track to it

[MaxPower 1,078]

4.5 seats, could strap someone on the bonnet if need be too.

[johnnyfive 8,126]

Around the coast 4.5 seats can be rounded up to 45 seats

[johnnyfive 8,126]

As long as you think your partner will be comfortable around some smelly dorks having fun, by all means please bring her. Might not be a bad idea having at least one sensible person on the trip, and it is a really nice drive, be rude not to bring her
