A meeting was held this afternoon to rattle out a number of the nuts and bolts/logistics of supplies etc for this ride. (BBQ supplies, drinks, etc )

There's going to be a metric fuck ton of stuff. 

Everybody who's registered should have received an Email from Karl a short time.ago. 

Please read it, and reply as soon  as you're able, so we can update the spreadsheet.

This isn't far away now! Getting pretty fizzed up for it!!

Kinda feels like me talking to myself in here.

How's everyone's bike progress going? How about some pictures?

Here's my disc brake conversion underway.

Just need a longer brake hose, and a longer speedo cable.

Disc brakes are for pussies. With your fuel injection and ellecy start, you’re only one step away from a Flash Harry. 
I’m still not sure what bike I’m bringing. The guy in Dunedin still has my good CT putting the big bore kit in it. He knows I need it, and it’s been 6 months now….

Well the gizzy lads unorganization bites us again

Didn't realize the ferry would be so booked 

There's only spots for motorcycles not cars so there may well be 5 very pesty not so roadworthy vehicles trying to ride from Picton to the starting point 😂 

FFS we have a

Honda mb100 registered as a 50

A unregistered cb125t

My postie with a 212 registered as a 50

A c50 that's been blended with a thumpstar frame 

And an actually reliable Honda xlr125

 

Casually adding 1300km ish to the ride is going to be testing for the China motors

Part of it I guess 

I will say tho if anyone is driving from Picton ish and has room on a trailer I'd say there's gizzy fellas keen to chip in on ya gas bill

Wow,

That's a mission and a half.

Would it be feasible to rent a large van or something in Picton to get them to Christchurch?  We might be able to arrange a large trailer to get the bikes to the starting point. (And back afterwards) Then you could do the same.back to picton?

Is the kit not specifically for NBC?  Looking pretty flash otherwise.

It's for a CG125, so yeah not NBC specific.

The stock.NBC bars have a cross brace which the instrument cluster afixes to.  This makes lowering it more difficult. 

/a <$20 aliexpress cable is less admin.
