Do you have a bike sitting round waiting to be fixed?

Are you the one who's going to fix it?

Do you have a sense of humour?

Do you drink alcohol?




If your answer is yes to any of these questions post here or PM me




Slipstream Production

will be travelling around both North and South Islands

to film some footage of people working on their bikes

in a humourous manner

(an excuse for meeting up, learning and drinking)



With the hostess with the mostness



S to the Stream




I won't be doing it all at once

so if anyone is travelling at the same time as me

or if you just want to come along for the ride

the first location is




Palmerston North 15th -17th




Anyone in Palmy doing anything to their bike(s) at this time?

Or heading to Palmy at this time?

Or want to go to Palmy for a holiday at this time?





BTW I will be in a cage :(

But anyone who wants to convoy

drink in the car (and not driving)

or get footage of them on a bike

let me know before the 6pm 15th April




PEACE OUT!!

Sorry Lena you can't watch me fix my bike as I signed off the release papers today.

However I'm hoping to buy a bike that doesn't need too much fixing...

Hey, when are you coming around to meet Nicholas?

Shouls probably say that the 7 hours was when I just bought it after my dad had not cleaned it since he bought it new. I've only had it for about a year and a half by the way.

Whoa! Fully has to happen here!

I mean... West Auckland... Numerous garages... Numerous motorcycles (far from working) and above the road so roll starting is all good!

Slight lack of beer (only drink other peoples out west!), Slight lack of Stars, and major lack of hospitibletality skills.

So are we all go! :)

luke crashed the scooter again.... into a fence, he jumped off.... but forgot the bike has a mind of it's own.... and tried to get away from the punishment he was dealing out to it.... but the fence stopped it from make luke walk after it too far... the fence bit a peice of the front mud guard off.....

we could drink and watch him clean it:drinknsin :2thumbsup :Punk:

Could watch me try and put the XN85 back together, it will take LOTS of beer 'cos I can't find some bits and the other ones are made of unobtainium :drinknsin :apint:

Motu
4th April 2005, 22:56
Would that be the Two Towers in Palmerston, New York or in my bathroom? :whistle:

You pass them on your way to Auckland - the all seeing eye sees all....make sure you aren't wearing a ring,it will reveal your innermost secrets to me.... :shifty:

I have never been to Otago...good red wine down there :niceone: I've always wanted to go :D

You're on...It'll be awile tho :( Maybe in august sme time.

It will take me that long just to FIND the XN - and get enough red wine :niceone:

ajturbo
4th April 2005, 23:22
Hopefully around may...or maybe a tad later :(

shit.. if the bike is still going by then ..it will need a wire brush to remove the dirt..... wich means more time drinking... as it will take him longer to clean!!:banana:

we will have heaps of room anytime... :drinknsin

Making a night 'round at quackies in the deepest west would be cool. Just round the corner from me, I can introduce your video camera to extreme 'Bling', it might need some sort of glare filter though :msn-wink:

Wish I could help SS, but I'm not trashing "Rox" for no vid, she's cost me too much to keep on the road already for the next month or 2. At the most I'd have a little plastic welding to do, but there's always a free bed, beer and/or Bourbon if your game enough to get this far North:2thumbsup If I can make to AK when your down/up there I'll meet you there for a beer:drinknsin

actually a 95. The engine subframe is bolted, but if your referring to the back one, that's welded on.. Feel free to come round and help us clean ;)

nah, this baby will be put together in a weekend tops. Not a lot to it. Does need a new frame tho, this one was snapped (not cracked) by bringing it down from a monster wheelie. He must have been at 12 o'clock and dropped it hard. new frame please....



I'll be in Auck-Vegas around my birthday or 14th may ... if you can wait that long.....
by the time we get round to getting the frame and having everything sorted (and getting all the busy weekends out of the way!), then realistically, might not be too far from then anyways.. Feint is joint in on this with me, so it's 50/50 on all decisions..

what does thou say Feint?
