Thphantum 4,260 Report post Posted September 20, 2018 I was thinking more along the lines of a couple of swapper crates filled with ice cold amber liquid. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thphantum 4,260 Report post Posted September 20, 2018 My ute is only single cab with bucket seats but does have a full size flat deck, also have choice of covered in single axle trailer or single axle cage trailer. Not much space for extra bums on seats but could be handy as tool/gear/food carrier in a tail end charlie type role to take care of any on-road issues Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thphantum 4,260 Report post Posted September 20, 2018 ^ ls1 power more than makes up for lack of seating though 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have an old.ammo.case that's a good size for.a "travel tool.kit". I don't have any tire levers though. I'm hoping with brand new tyres I shouldn't have any issues in that dept though. I was thinking about a beer crates propensity to explode too. If I could guarantee it wasn't going to rain I'd be laughing. Under seat storage ftw.

Everyone, remember the second most important thing before beer is to make sure you do a giant skid before Eastcape, video it and show us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUNAMUCK 24,024 Report post Posted September 20, 2018 At J5's, or at home? I'm starting to worry about all the other parts on my bike that have have ever given any trouble ever before. Like the clutch and the drive belt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raizer 15,807 Report post Posted September 20, 2018 Belt is a good idea to replace, have spare 2nd hand clutches here if needed first day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUNAMUCK 24,024 Report post Posted September 20, 2018 A bloke I know reckons drilling holes in the clutch shoes (not through the linings obviously) makes them lighter and raises the stall speed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MopedNZ 7,119 Report post Posted September 20, 2018 Support car is last. Aka: follows the whole pack. Otherwise if someone cooks their bike etc; it won’t be much use if it’s in front. Does your bike work? Have you ridden it a few hundred km before east cape? Answer yes to both? Then you have nothing to worry about nothing except your beer choice.

MopedNZ 7,119 Report post Posted September 20, 2018 For people worrying, if anyone is. Remember not to worry if you can’t change it. Support car? It’ll be there. Don’t worry. Roads? They'll be there, don’t worry. We only had 2 months notice for the last Eastcape. Anyone second guessing themselves; I highly recommend reading the 2017 Eastcape thread from start to finish. Might take an hour or so; but I did it the other night and it answered every question I had. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
