johnnyfive 7,106 Report post Posted May 17, 2019 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.

johnnyfive 7,106 Report post Posted May 17, 2019 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
