Top 10 on Princes St in Fitzroy

That's several hundred metres from my house for beer/tools/last minute repairs. Also very good neighbourhood for not getting shit stolen.

I got it up to the metric ton down the Hamilton express way I'll have you know/so did J5 on his bike and still used way less gas, lols.

We'll have some emergency jerry cans on the trailer if things go really badly for you

Oh I'm not disputing that... But with the company you are keeping on this ride, there's no fear of maintaining those kind of speeds 

[anglia4]

Yeah day 1 and 3 are pretty much 200km with no gas stops, so we will put plenty on the trailer to make sure we are all good.

It will still be terrible, as the needle was already all the way down, so must need a smaller jet. I have around 6L extra gas onboard though, so hoping if I don't go over 80/90khm I can get 200km out of it.

Mikuni main jet? What size?

[johnnyfive]

Ok to stow a fuel can or two on the trailer aswell? 

[anglia4]

Yeah should be sweet

[anglia4]

FYI I'll try and get an email out tomorrow with the run sheets and instructions etc.

Weather looking a whole lot better than last year. A few little sprinkles should keep the dust down nicely - pack some wet weather gear just in case (or don't, I'm not your mum)

 

[anglia4]

I've just sent out the email with all the details and directions.

PLEASE READ IT and make sure your mates have seen it.

There is some important things in there, particularly about lunch on Sunday. 

[alfalfa]

Entrants list updated, RIP @WankBankA100 your sharns will be missed.

No-one break down because #1 carpark mechanic Bucket Barry is also a DNS

[alfalfa]

Who's excited? This is tomorrow!

 

I done f'd up and routed us down a closed paper road on Day 1 so a minor change to the route needed.

Updated google maps link here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SfTEyps8aRaFfheh8. I've email out a new gps file and turn by turn directions for anyone who uses that.

[anglia4]

I've got a few copies of the turn by turn notes too.

I got a mate up the top of kaka road just after the okoki tunnel who would welcome you for a pit stop and possible fuel top up of required.
