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.

Most likely my joint in Belfast, will post next week...... and ummm shit keep forgetting your back in town so a ride might just be on the cards.... I'm going to shoot out to Runapuna tomorrow theres a few ther you would have meet already.
BTW.... are you in the same flat as last year?

[TonyB]

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 :cry:

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...

I'm pretty keen, so long as I can get a pass for the afternoon. One question though, is the road from Waikari to Scargill & Greta sealed or shingle? Just being a nana here. :whistle:

Kewl. Went and got one of those used tyres I was talking about- Pirelli something or other, they had Bridgestone 020, Pilot Roads and Conti's (eeeew!) but he looked at my old D208 and reckoned the Pirelli would be the stickiest. HEAPS of tread on most of the tyre, but a bit flat spotted in the middle- me thinks the hirers might be taking advantage of the loooooong Canty straights. Never mind, I can fix that. Fitted for 2 doz Heineken :2thumbsup Course, it won't be so cheap if the bike falls off the block of wood it's sitting on :confused:

That be sweet if ya made it, and to answer the question..... its all sealed, a nice wee ride but watch out for the sheep playing chicken and the shit head sheep that try and drag ya from the side line. :ride:

[dangerous]

Well the weathers not looking too flash.... bugger it.
Anyway for those that havent yet introduced them selfs in this thread if you are wanting to join in on the fun then......

[dangerous]

Well....... weather could be worse I guess, never mind get ya shit together KBer's ,see those comming, soon.

[dangerous]

[awd]

Was good to eventually get out on a ride, in decent weather too!! :niceone: Bloody fine road, shame about the other users who got in our way at times. Will see you guys around again.

[TonyB]

Good to put some faces and real names to the handles. Shit it gets confusing though, I have enough trouble remembering ONE name per person...
Definitely a good ride. Never done the road from Waikari to Greta Valley before- it's a good ride. In fact, I liked it so much that after taking on some fluids, I turned around and did another run from Greta/ Waikari/ Weka Pass/ Waikari/ Greta again. Shame that roads so far from my end of town.
My 2 doz Heineken tyre seems pretty good too :2thumbsup

[Silage]

Great to meet up with youall today. Good ride.

I shoved off before the pack as had arranged to be home by 4pm. Thought you might have caught me but spose I was spitting along in places. Saw one HP on the long straight sth of Waipara. Take it he didn't take any notice of youall if he came your way. Got home (Hornby) at 4:01 - safe.

Do it again some time.

[murhf3]

What can I say but [POO] :niceone:

[Bren_chch]

i'll be up for the next one!
