tortron Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Dakar's in Bolivia now. I rode some of the tracks. Bit bumpy 3 Quote
Duke Blackwood Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 I’ll have to fix the Pole-Smoker, it barely survived Te Urewera undertaking. And make some concessions for essentials when travelling without a support vehicle: Beef Jerky A cigar BYC kit Im in. And probably @anglia4 And probably @Itchybear And probably @dadblackwood 6 Quote

HighLUX Posted February 3, 2020 Author Posted February 3, 2020 And if we get enough keen riders then we could look at a support vehicle perhaps. Would you be interested @Thphantum? 1 Quote

HighLUX Posted February 7, 2020 Author Posted February 7, 2020 Sounds good thanks Mark! Lee went for a bit of a reccy down at Matata today and after a bit of a chat to the camps down there, we have decided that although id said Murphys Motorcamp it isnt the most ideal spot for the overnight stay and apologize if anyone has already booked there but we are going to use the DOC camp right in Matata itself. https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/bay-of-plenty/places/matata-area/matata-campsite/ The camp caretaker is happy to rope off a whole corner of the camp for us to have to ourselves and its only a couple of mins walk to food/booze etc Its only $8 for the night pay when you get there spec and hot showers/proper toilets but no cabins so its gunna be camping/sleep on the groun, I believe there are a couple of options for indoor sleeping within Matata but if you want that its upto yourself to sort that. It looks like a lush spot to stay Corner of the camp for us: We are putting together an entry form which should be out this weekend to get a gauge of interest 7 Quote
Truenotch Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Lush. Camping will be sweet if we have support vehicle space for tents etc. I'll probably roll a bivi bag and have a spare if anyone wants to borrow it. 1 Quote
TimShadboltfan27 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 that looks lush as fuck. self sufficient man camp for all 1 Quote

UTERUS Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Genuine lol • Seriously go over your shit bike again and fix anything that is going to fuck out. Lock tight and lock wire is your friend. Expect long sections of wide open throttle nangs. 2 1 Quote
