RUNAMUCK Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Nice to finally meet you irl too Tori. I swear on the ferry the motion of the boat while trying to sleep felt like I was riding a scooter on gravel again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Such post ride blues. What an amazing event. Cheers John and everyone else that went into the prep organisation and support! Barry bucket’s 80 series workshop was amazing and kept a few of the boys rolling. Unreal support! Front loading the ct wasn’t a great idea. Took me a day and a half to find the sweet spot with controlling that pendulum situation on gravel so I ditched it for the motu and had a way better time. Chasing blizzo was great fun. what to build for next time? I’ve popped my cherry on a bland wagon. Now for something a little more obscure? 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I think the only sensible answer is gyro canopy. That was easily one of the funniest things I've seen this year. It's sad windscreen wiper slowly shuddering drizzle out of the way while going sideways on full opposite lock around most of the motu 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anglia4 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Is anyone else in their head now realising how many people they met over the weekend without knowing? Like “wait, what? Keltic was there? Which one was he!?” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a great Kiwi idea. Approx 2 hours riding and your pizza is nice and dusty for road side consumption with either a super fancy craft beer or a lion brown. No in between, 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got ooodles of riding footage but also a wee bit of tomfoolery. ill try and get some onto Dropbox/drive tonight. i think I filled my 64gb card... over 3 hours of filming. i filmed heaps on the Motu cos I wanted to have the camera running if/when I fell off. Gave my camera to Duke Blackwood for the last bit and then I rode into a drain 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've long known your username and real name, but not your face. Had a smile when you popped up in my Facebook feed.

Mop Head Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Re: Motu road. Done some reading on it lately and it's blown my mind a wee bit. It was used as a part of the WRC till the mid 90's. The Motu was often the stage that decided the championship winner. Fastest time ever was Colin McRae in a Subaru in 1994: 37m 21s from end to end - all 47km. Jesus thats quick. It was so renowned in the world rally scene that when McRaes pace notes from the Motu came up for auction people all around the world were bidding on them. Ken Block tried to win them but eventually pulled out and never succeeded in winning the auction. Though when he came to NZ he still went down to the Motu and had a casual drive on it to take in the perfection that is Motu. Soz for spam. Just never realised how well known it was. Nice. Also soz for ranger. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
