Pink 2 man tents for sale at the warehouse  for $16 each. Perfect for a dude and his gear. Meant to withstand light showers etc. 

Cars ‘slumber bags’ also. Act quick.

Need to spend some $$ on my chaly for this, it only manages 55kph so would be a loooooooong trip.

I agree, bank account does not change in job has reduced my overtime and project funds.

Will see how I go, could almost finish the dax as all it needs is an engine

Cant recomend those 110s for Hondas enough. Just did 500km on my C50 and the wifes c90 with 110 got there and back too

I will be Lifaning very shortly,  my actual above 50kmph open road driving experience is zero.

Will talk myself into attending I'm sure. Would normal road tires be all good?

[johnnyfive]

Yeah the actual percentage of unsealed sections isn't that much. Just take your time and you'll be fine.

Just get something with a bit of grip. I'll help you out man. See you at Auckland ride? Chaly will be okay. Just don't lower the thing before then....speaking from experience.

That’s fine, mopeds can’t legally exceed 50kmh

I just bought a cheap $40 tire, @GuyWithAviators is helping me apply it this evening and do some other maintenance for the Auckland ride. Also @Shakotom keen man, I really need to sort a van to transport this thing.

Haha does it just slot in like that?

I wonder if it'd fit in a Shuttle, I miss my old one.

[Mop Head]

Front tyre sits against the 2 old ones up the front left. Back end sits in the right rear corner. Tied to the hand rests with small gripper tie downs and it's solid as fuck. 

/when you put a 110 into it you can ride over the bridge m9. No excuses. 

[HighLUX]

I had zero road riding experience before doing it last year and didn’t die. You will be fine
