I got a new chain and fork seals, shits getting real. 

[chris r]

I'm out, fatigue issues still. If I can't do a couple of days driving a car then bikes are out of the question. 

Also am a noob and double booked a South Island pest with a friend at the same time 

[Vintage Grumble]

Stink. Oh well, I guess Bort will feel a little safer now.

[RUNAMUCK]

I hope you enjoy your south island pest.  Tbh I'm semi fit and able bodied (well drink fit anyway) and I find this challange to be a drain too. 

 

Fingers crossed for no hospital  visit this year!

[Vintage Grumble]

@johnnyfive how many people have registered for this fine event? 

[johnnyfive]

Iirc its hovering around the 30 mark. Can have a look tonight and get a more accurate figure

[datlow]

Shit yeah not long to go now 

do we need to transfer some moneys over for incidentals/ meat flavoured snacks?
Can’t remember if it was on the form and or if I’ve paid 

[johnnyfive]

I was just gonna get everyone to bring along twenty lousy dollars, for ease of collection/dispersal. Should cover one vehicle and whatever misc costs arise hopefully. 

[tortron]

Garlic breads count?

[Tumeke]

I've heard a few have dropped off / various reasons. Probs worth a second head-count at some point prior.

I'm still fizzing tho

 

[GuyWithAviators]

I sold my CT90 and my Yamaha trail bike rear wheel disintegrated. 
 

May be riding the solid suspension Honda Chaly at this stage.

[Truenotch]

I'd be veeeeerrrrry surprised if they bothered to seal that road? Its common round these parts just to seal patches in front of buildings to cut down on dust, so that might be whats planned?

The iwi was looking into some bio-seal scheme using recycled something to seal the road. I'd suggest given the normal rate of progress in the area, we'll be sweet for a few more years yet.
