Dave claimed my tow ball, but happy to swap on the day if need be. I have a 3.5T tow rating, so happy to tow whatever needed

Blue, round here at least.

[RUNAMUCK]

And she's Red country eh?

[Raizer]

Lots/too many of both in town.

More red where you're coming through I think, I try and avoid going up Te Urewera etc, I like my shoes/car/wallet.

Have a spare bed in Waikaremoana with your name on it, if you like.

Not sure on the trailer front, I have a wee 6x4 with a removable animal/wood cage, not very big though, and cage isn't bike friendly. 

[anglia4]

Dad is planning to bring his F150, we are hoping to be able to have room on the back to pick up 2 broken bikes. Its a 6 seater.

Trying to avoid a trailer if we have enough room just to make it a bit easier to get out of the way of "Young Brody in his venerable bush Hilux"

We will do a trial pack this week and see how much space we've got.

I'm confident I will sort a trailer, neighbour has a car trailer that could work as it is nice and low and lots of tie off points.

[Tumeke]

Thought I'd do some prep since this is two weeks away.

The motor on the a100 was a bit noisy. Prolly explains it.

 

 

[cletus]

Just turn it around so the wear is on the other side. Good for another 500,000kms m8

[Tumeke]

Yeah nah yeah. All fixed now as @Leyland P.I. had a piston kit on his shelf.

lemme just slap these together.

 

Unrelated, Adding cheap bikes to trademe watchlist along the route.

Jesus are we gonna have like 18 support vehicles? 

Sounds like a headache to me. 

[Vintage Grumble]

@Thphantum is the official support vehicle I believe. We can't stop other people coming, but having two other vehicles might be a pain in the arse. Can @anglia4 or@Ned maybe car pool or not bring another vehicle, just to simplify things?

 

[Ned]

I've had my hand up since May as support vehicle, so a little late now to try change my plans.... Happy to take a passenger, as long as they like vengaboys

[anglia4]

I thought there was still only 3 support vehicles as per J5's post a couple pages back?

[Thphantum]

@johnnyfiveI will have the weber on board again along with a couple of chilly bins, So anyone wanting liquid refreshments and food transported for the first night there should be room to accomodate this. This will allow us to have bbq food too. I will try to get to your place resonably early fri morning to allow a bit of time to suss this out. Will probably bring a selection of homekill bovine and swine for taste testing.
