Yea http://www.poweradventures.co.nz/EventCalendar.asp?id=150 he didn't advertise it on silver for some reason. Reckon maras is infinitely better then thunder, more expensive tho

[krad_nz]

Keen as to go riding. Still saving for new tow car though.

[vazza]

Maramarua hasnt been open in ages! Due to the M3DE I think. I wouldnt be missing that ride for anything tbh ;)

[K6K]

Could be keen on the maramarua one...have not been there since last year.

Have to do a couple of days on the long weekend so...there is also the dirt guide ride on Monday at Tokoroa/Tar Hill. Anyone know what riding there is like?

[barty5]

Just treated the bike to a oil and filter change, through in a new spark plug. test ride in the local park, got out of there before some one rings the cops.

All sweet, ready for the weekend if I don't go North, will def be out at the pit.

Good to see you managed to find transport!

The suckiest thing about it is it was over the other side where nobody got to see it.

No riding for me this weekend I'm in Bris-vegas.

[Keithf]

What is needed is a bit of light rain Friday night to keep the dust down-not the torrential downpour that occurred the last time I rode there last boxing day I think.....it was fun though so I am going



Think Marumarua will be the go!

[K6K]

how early is 'early as'? I didn't see any start time on the power adventures site. I'll be there at 9 or so I think. JT said he and Xen were going down but I'd say they won't be down that early if they do make it

[cheese]

Just sorted out the cruise control that was on my bike. Looking forward to tomorrow! probably will be there about 9ish.

[camchain]

Well, Maramarua was absolutely superb today. Hard to beat hammering up those greasy climbs.

(Hmm, had a sneaky feeling I might have seen cheese today - top of first bit of 1st loop?)

[xen]

Yea that was some really cool riding. Got up everest for the 1st time its not that hard hahaha :shifty:

[cheese]

Were you with 2 other guys? I think that one of them was on an old yellow twin shocker??

My bike blew the clutch. Gutted. thats me out for a while....

told yah it wasnt right and yeah ill $$ up

[cheese]

Yeah all teh alloy plates have tracks in them and all but 2 are very worn and have a lip inside them. The fibre plates are possibly ok, but as they are probably now have been over heated, they would need a sandblast.

[Lula]

Maramarua was fun yesterday....bit sore today though.....

[camchain]

Yes, that was us. Bugga about your clutch cheese. Mine has been doing the same as yours for a while. On/off like a switch & hard to slip, was thinking probably notched basket. Best I take a look at it shortly. Some folks replace alloy with steel plates?

2nd loop starting from buildings at bottom was just excellent. That was quite a deep water hole about half way round. Decided to stop for closer inspection before attempting. 3 quads tow roped together to get themselves through when we got there.

Hell, had such a good time, thinking about sneaking out Tuesday arvo for the twilight ride as well...

Hey xen, 'Everest' easy enough in dry but different story on a rainy day?

[xen]

I attempted it a few times before and couldn't make it up but once you have enough speed its not bad, rainy would be crazy lol

?

Steel plates last forever and they spin up slower (fly wheel weight theory). Seems logical. I've heard people put cr125 steels in my 03 Ktm 200 model but haven't tried it. Should fit the 08 as well. Although from memory I can't remember any alloy ones in the 03 when I did the engine up. My 08 one makes a graunch when you give it real shit but still works ok. Probably need to look at that but works so its a round 2uit job LOL!!!

[krasher]

Hmmmm clutches. I heard u don't need to clutch to change gears. Does that hurt stuff. Noob question I know.

I went up to the Dome today by myself. Good fun actually. Did 2x loops and about 20 laps on the track and got really muddy.

Lots of people there.
