    As the weekend has freed up for me I was thinking of turning up. Not sure about the circuitous route but it has merit on a nice day. Will give it further thought before the day.

    Hey Geoff you do realise that the Greta Valley is quite a long way from Auckland for a weekend??? It's about 80km north of Chch (that's the Chch in the middle of the Sth Is)

    Yep, could be in.
    Planning on popping out to 'puna tomorrow. Just to watch though- no zip together leathers + dead back tyre + empty bank account = no Have a Go Day

    I spend about half my time in Christchurch (burning bits of wood in the lab at Uni) and the other half back home in Auckland, trying to catch up with all the "honey-do" jobs around the house that seem to come up when I am away...

    Oooops, sorry Geoff thought you were in the NthIs Auckland.
    Heard there was a good burn-em-up place at Chch uni. My office is just down the road from there - thus the "hiff a rock" statement from Dangerous I spose.

    As for the Sundown rally. I am keen to go and the route thru Waikari sounds like a more interesting way to go if you don't mind puting up with me as I nana round the corners. I will need to back in Chch by 4ish so what time were you going to set out Dangerous?

    Plenty of long staights up that way. He'll catch you all right- 160+ rwhp is a great leveller...

    Are you bringing your camera? Need you to get some pics of bike + me for a wee experiment I'm doing...
