I'm pretty sure @Truenotch, @BLIZZO, and Steve found last year that one ute three up was more cost effective than three bikes on the ferry?

And much more cozy to travel 3 up in a single cab ute too.

*romantic.

I'll prolly put a towball on the avensis and take a trailer. Single cab was punishing.

Take a big one. Room for @Geophyand @Beavertoo!

Loosely following.

Was kinda keen to ride this but have been given the hard word by @RUNAMUCK that I need to do backup again lol

I'd say easy take down 4 bikes. Me & @64valiant (If he wants) will be 2/4 capacity. WIll hound the boys to see who else will join. I think a mate of mine, Zac wants to come too. He'll be riding my adventure spec 1973 Honda CB100.

Been a long time since I have been to the Braeburn and Matakitaki, I did quite a bit of clear felling under the new transmission line we were building through their and it was the roads used in the last NZ International Rally to be run in the South Island, we sat on the Inter 4x4 and watched them them going through.

 .

I am keen on this one, might have to find some dual purpose style tires for one of my 150's.

I also have a Holden Ute with a towbar if needed for backup although the LS1 will chew through a bit of juice.

Unless you're 4wd, you might struggle to negotiate some of the route.

I'd doubt the Porika is doable in anything less than a stock height Prado.

Porika was a bit questionable last year with the trailer on.

O buggar, sounds like fun  scratch the ute then.

What's Will doing? 

[governorsam]

Entry forms up yet?

bringing a mate who has an aprilia stx150.

he is super turbo keen, as am I.

 

[RUNAMUCK]

Soon I guess.

[RUNAMUCK]

I did a course on Monday just been. Quite a few guys there from the marlborough roads recovery team there.

They reckoned french pass should be done by xmas. But they werent optimistic about Kenepuru rd.

Wankbank, pretty keen on giving this ride a crack. Definitely be keen on a bit of car pooling to get down. How did the A100 hold up last time? Will definitely be changing up tyre combo for this one and make a air box.

Don't forget a spare carburettor

Hell no this Ali express carb is the ducks nuts. Best upgrade ever even if it not exactly planned…… hopefully I can play it forward on the next adventure.
