Eastcapescapade 2018 November 9-10-11

[Chris.QCR]

Picking up my slimmer sleeker less comfortable seat tomorrow from my upholstry buddy. Keen to spend hours on it with nothing but chinas finest smashing my ear drums

[Mop Head]

I have access to standard and heavy duty tubes through work. 

If anyone needs any I'm happy to sort them out but my week before Eastcape is busy; so you'll need to let me know before next tuesday/wednesday.

10/12/14/15/16/17/18/19/21" sizes available. 

A mix of widths. Will do them at RRP; not inflated prices like some other shops do. 

Send me a message on here or on Facebook if you have me there. I won't take orders from comments. You'll need to pay in full before I order them. I'll be at @johnnyfive's 7-7.30am Friday morning of Eastcape and you can grab them from me there. 

Make sure you have a tube for both wheels! Nothing like cracking a flat on the first day with no spare tube and ruining your whole weekend. 

Chur!

That's a little bit inconvenient for getting lunch somewhere in that region, during those hours. 

Surely they wouldn't black out Opotiki for a whole day? 

@vivaspeed what is the meaning of this?

Lord of the flies rules will reign surpreme

Could just get frozen pies and tinfoil them to the exhausts with hose clamps for that day?

Apparently yep includes opotiki, will send you a pic from the beacon. Obviously 5pm is worst case scenario, could just be a 2 hour job and be done by 10am but have to warn of longer just in case

[johnnyfive]

Sweet as, cheers. Will try and sort out snags for the back of Ute BBQ perhaps

My trusty steed has begun it's journey. Today a complete stranger who I've never met came and took.it away while I was at work. 

 

Godspeed Ronnie the Dio. 

[Chris.QCR]

A bike transport company or actually some random dude @RUNAMUCK

As recommended by @Threeonthetree

[Mop Head]

Okay I’m finally ready! 

Took the bike for a wicked hoon. Had an absolute blast. All works well!

[chris r]

John is a gc! He brought my ahunnit up to Auckland. 

Got my steed running today, nearly wheelied into the garden so I'll call that a success 

[Chris.QCR]

Had a rad ride across the city and back today with another Rumbler who is coming on the trip. Got some confidence on my bike and have started popping wheelies pretty easily and got it leaned over good on a few roundabouts. fizzzzzzzzzzing for the good times ahead
