slacker.cam 224 Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 +1 for the two stroke club. My bike got delivered from Nelson yesterday so now I can make a start on preparation. First up is putting some miles on it and sorting some better storage than the crappy rack it has at the moment. I sense an engine rebuild coming on. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ned 4,219 Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 So, i kinda really wanna go on this, and i have a project scooter i could work on, but i dont think its gonna cut it even if i do get it running (photos stolen from MopedNZs build thread, as i own that now but dont have any of my own photos) So, i was kinda hoping there might be a spare bike going somewhere? Or maybe one that just needs a touch of love in Auckland? Im happy to get my hands dirty for a few nights or something... i just dont wanna buy yet another bike/project... Anything spare floating about i could hoon around on? or should i just offer my services as a support vehicle driver for a few days so i can still be (kinda) part of the fun?

My friend Richard will need somewhere to sleep too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
