Jesus, Cape ride V1 had 20 pages, V2 had 85 pages, a lot of spam admittedly. 

Yet to come up with a name, or date, but Waikaremoana Loop in late Nov, early Dec, is what we're working with at the moment. Need someone to come up with a witty name.

Only bits of road reused really are Motu Road. Looks to have a lot more gravel. Hard balls day one, shorter day two, medium day three. 

Brainstorm names go

I’m going to start the bidding with “The Burnt Penis Ride”

Waikaremoanacapade, puhuhu.

[johnnyfive]

Oh damn, that is correct, perhaps something something cockburn something something

[johnnyfive]

My partner just suggested some kind of variant of sausage sizzle for the name.

[Truenotch]

You’ve heard of the Cold Kiwi, but this year will be the first “Hot Sausage”.

Ive got nothing to add cept dont be whatever colour the tribesmen dont like (probably white im guessing) around Kaiangaroa/Murupara

Perhaps to avoid any confusion, we should all have patched jackets with a logo for "A group of unassociated riders who happen to all be going this way"

What's the minimum speed your bike needs to do?

[RUNAMUCK]

65 is the minimum I would try it with.

@johnnyfive

please start a new thread. Maybe stick it in events?

Its kinda a toss up between top speed and reliability, 65km/h is a happy speed if you can do that comfortably, but if you're pinned WOT doing 65 and under for 4+hrs, 3 days in a row, then longevity comes into question a bit. 

Something like your CT90 or old mate on the ruckus would do this pretty ok I'd imagine, but a peaky 2t 50 might not love you long time unless you had it super dialled in. 

Everyone aside from the big block boys just ends up going wide open all the time also, go as quick as you can and take more breaks. 

Will start a thread once I'm back from lunch maybe.

The ct90 happily sits at 60-65 but doesn't have much more after that

I did the first year on a chooched CT90. Didn’t have first gear. 

It was fine. 

[M.H.]

Should just get the ct185 with the xr200 engine in it going

The sticker needs to be a veiny dick and balls with bike wheels jizzing flames.

maybe wheels and tyres for the balls.
