Just get a 125/140/150/250/999

I feel the aero of most of these machines isn't ideal for terminal velocity.  Ain't gonna stop me trying though.

 

Tof of ta vage

Ready

I have signed on as back-up support vehicle. Will have plenty of space for gear/food and will prob bring along the bbq for day one lunch and sat night grazing. And of course fuel/booze/water/tool cartage.

You’re a legend @Thphantum! Thanks. 

 

2 stroke all the way!!! (Hopefully).

It's a bit of a different world out there. @HighLUX, your opinion? Would you find your stuff for sale at the local foursquare the next morning if you slept publicly? Or safe as?

Yea a few years ago a male german backpacker got picked up and bum violated by a local gang member......so nothing that wont be happening anyway with you lot.

As long as yout arnt taking their seafood you should be fine

anyone have a bed spare for hicks bay

otherwise might look at a bach if a few people are keen to share?

+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.

[Ned 4,025]

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?

I have a double bed available up the hill in the Hicks bay motor lodge. Me, J5, and old mate Dan are staying up there.

Eh, we can sort it out later chap. It will roughly be $50, went for a slightly flasher room with grown up beds. 

[datlow 17,521]

Same here - gizz deets. 

 

Also, @Archetype will need to sort out a bed for Saturday night if anyone needs a bunk buddy? My friend Richard will need somewhere to sleep too.
