Wellingtonians going to Tokoroa? (Waitangi weekend)

[Str8 Jacket]

Are there any Wellingtonians that are going to Toke this weekend that may be able to take one or two others with them?

Short notice I know, but....

[Dutchee]

If you can't get a lift WITH bike(s), we'll have to figure things out as to which bikes to bring down, as there were a few with issues yesterday in Auckland and we're looking at juggling bikes anyway (I can't juggle balls, and think I'll struggle with the weight of bikes, but we'll see), but would find some way of making sure we all get to ride.

[Str8 Jacket]

Well, with thanks to AJ Turbo who is letting us borrow his van - we are going to go to Tokoroa this weekend. Thanks mate, stoked as!

[Henk]

Foo ken awesome

[Dutchee]

Awesome news :) Now Henk has an excuse to buy some good beer. Can you ask Koba what port he wants??? as we'll/I'll do the run Friday so that Pumba can tell us what he wants.

[Str8 Jacket]

Sure can.... You guy's staying there Fri night?

[Henk]

Heading down on Saturday. Michelle wants to vandalise some furniture shops on the way down.

[ajturbo]

dam.. already booked for the doobie bros...

but i WILL try and get up there on sunday.. monday is a holiday right?

[Henk]

Monday is indeed a holiday.

[Dutchee]

Was wondering why you were offering van & not coming. Be good to see you again, been blardy ages, AJ :) (and yes, bikes in different place etc, no excuse, we can sort bike out, just bring gear).

[richban]

I will be there. Really looking forward to it. That track looks very cool.

[Str8 Jacket]

Excellent stuff! You camping at the track?

[Rick 52]

We are camping Sat night and Sun if anybody else is ..Fri we are staying in Hamilton I hope ..

[Str8 Jacket]

I might see if we can stay at a mates in Taupo or my olds in vegas on Fri night if no one is camping there that night. Might be easier anyway....

[richban]

Excellent stuff! You camping at the track?

Yep. Will be coming from Rotorua visiting the Mum.

[hmurphy]

Got the whip crack and have to go to my girlfriends family dinner for her bday and her sisters bday so I won't be there. Their family lives overseas and they never see them and I might not have a brolly dolly anymore if I don't go, if you know what I mean. I will make it up to Tokoroa one day this year I hope, it looks like a FANTASTIC track. Looks as fun as Kaitoke and Roys Hill.

[speedpro]

Bacon and eggs in town for breakfast Sunday morning?

[richban]

[richban]

Some old retirement village near the bubbly mud. Can't remember what it called.

On the other hand, I have just got back from the beach, put the tent up Friday nite in the rain, took it down this morning in the rain, fine and sunny in between. Tent dry and packed away for next weekend at Tokoroa. And its our 25th wedding anniversary next weekend as well. No expense spared, air beds, tent, booked a table at Noodle Canteen ( well Ok, you can't book a table at Noodle Canteen, but the menu has been downloaded and printed) and bucket racing. 25 years is silver, so might go the whole hog and get a couple of tins of silver spray from Mitre 10 and do the bike this week. I knew she was a keeper when I met her at Manfeild in 1983.
You and Shorty got a bit to learn about priorities...

[Dutchee]

Ooooh, lots of parties. Righto Mr GrantNZ, what's happening on the bike front? We keep expecting a text/email/phone call from you, but nada?????
Silver means you need to win a trophy to take home.

[Str8 Jacket]

What are the facilities like at Tokoroa?

[Pumba]

What are the facilities like at Tokoroa?

Great track. Good toilets. BBQ tables and there is a solidly mounted vice for repairs. Lat year we had no access to the club house, not sure what the story is this year.

Haha nah she's pretty good. Comes and watches me race and I don't even expect her to. Puts up with me being poor cos I spend most of my money on bike stuff. I kinda owe her. Gotta get her racing though haha. Make sure you guys post pics and videos! Especially videos

[ajturbo]

am in taupo for the day on saturday.. riding up.. but i plan to be there on sunday now... oh the preasure..:shifty:

[Henk]

Sort of off-topic (Michelle here BTW) - has anyone heard from George?

AJ - you better believe it re pressure. You're looking at changing islands on us, so we need to be reminded what the hell you look like.

Heck, it's really cool that a few Wellingtonians are making the epic journey, last year only Adrian made it up (he only turned up cause he knew Hels wasn't making it bwahahaha).

[ajturbo]

George was out racing with his daughter the other day (if that is who you mean).. i was able to over take his daughter.. :headbang: (this time )
his last lot of Kemo last week..

you talk of pressure... just you wait till i over take you on sunday..!!!
the elbow will go out, fingering your kill switch... yeah who's ya daddy?

but on the serious side, i am unsure if hel's and Malcom will be able to fit my bike in...

I'm sure we'll be able to figure a bike out for you to ride. You'll be in A grade, so won't be overtaking me (who doesn't anyway, unless you mean the kid on the tricycle who can't even walk yet, but he doesn't count, he's been overtaking me for years).

Yeah that George. Had expected him to post whether he was coming or not affter Friday, but guess we'll find out later in the week or on the weekend.

Sheesh, I was keen to head home Sunday, but it's starting to sound like maybe not.

[ajturbo]

ok... looks like i will have to be there now...
A grade??? me??? hahahahahahahaha:clap::baby:

[Str8 Jacket]

Won't know until we try!

[Str8 Jacket]

We're going to stay in SmellyVegas on Sun night......

[marktd]

i dont mind sharing my bike long as you dont mind 2 stroke

[F5 Dave]

Hi - you wgtn bitches are picking up some tyres for me via the great bucket courier service. Pretty please & hugs & kisses, damn, maybe I shouldn't have started with 'Bitches'.:shutup: too late now, I'll try to cover my tracks with some singing, no drinking, no hold on:sweatdrop

From Esquire Biddle & should hopefully be coming down to the Toke. Ideally if the Alicetown crew could squeeze them into the van that would be awesome.

[Dutchee]

I hope the Alicetown mob will be able to squeeze your tyres in the van, as they're meant to be bringing tyres up for us lol (is this wierd or what, us buying from Wellington, you buying from Auckland). ;)

[koba]

Have a great weekend peeps. I think I'm waving a flag at Manfeild.

yeah but I'm after Dunlops & Kyle had Bridgies so I might as well flow against the tide, but I like the Dunnies.

[TZ350]

I am getting a pipe kitset from Wobbly and a piston of ebay to rebore the 3 ex port cylinder but it wont make any more power, or power spread than the current single ex port and RS pipe setup unless I can increase the inlet port time area.

256544

Blairs rotary valve design program.

I am looking for 11 bar at 12,250 rpm

256543

But may have to settle for 10.5 bar because of the phyisical limitations on how big I can make the new rotary valve and inlet.

256542

Even so it sure is going to be bigger than the original GP125 hole.

[Dutchee]

Just got to say, those that missed coming down, don't worry, we all had a miserable time, we really didn't have too much fun, booze and racing. Oh, and we didn't have a great Sarah cake either. There were absolutely no incidents at all, no bikes expired, nothing happened.
Basically, nothing to see here, move right along :)Damn white screeen. That should read those that didn't come down/up/across

I get a feeing there is more to this story than meets the eye.. someone has to tell...:shit::corn::corn::shit:

[hmurphy]

I saw some pics on facebook of a very.... VERY sad looking fixxer. It gone done shit itself completely!!!

[F5 Dave]

Facebook?!? Hamish is a gurl. Hamish is a gurl.

[F5 Dave]

Talking of gurls, did you guys let one whip yer in the weekend? On a blue smoke at that? :laugh:

[James Deuce]

Someone's teeth coming through Dave?

[bucketracer]

Av smokes em at Tokoroa.

Race 1 Av starts of the back of the grid, works her way through the field and takes the win.

Race 2 Av starts from row one and wins again.

Race 3 Av takes the win after lapping the entire field including the current F4 GP champion.

:first::first::first:

256756
Av and Chambers at Taupo

Av's bike was prepared and tuned by Chambers, from Team ESE.

Just saw this on the ESE thread

If you werent there then you've missed it. :bleh:
Craziest meeting Ive ever been to, had everything and then some. Anyone else notice that red and white rocket lap the entire field?

[Ned Kelly]

Sounds like Cully has really got Av's bike running well. He had some drama mid week that required the engine to be stripped again. Only got it back together on Thursday for a recheck on the Dyno. I hear they still had a few issues but the oil slick delay certainly gave them some time to sort out a few problems. But his efforts have been well worth it. Great job mate. I spoke to Av and she was certainly pretty happy. Finally the bike is showing the benefits of good development and a very talented young lady. Great stuff team.:first:

[speedpro]

Pretty impressive bike with Av peddling it. Finally the fast 4-stroke guys got shown, and by a girl. It was almost worth sitting out the last race to watch the action

[Trudes]

Oh yeah! Go the 2-strokes, and the chicks!!! :wings:

[Pumba]

Great weekend all.

Once again Henk you are a ledgend. Knowing my bike would shit its self before racing started and carting Craig's down for me:niceone:

See you all again at Te Puke I hope:msn-wink:

[koba]

Good times? How'd ya go hmmmm?

I sucked and got relegated to B-grade, where I didn't even manage mid-pack. :violin:
The field and pace were amazingly furious.:2guns:
And of course we had a great night :drinknsin

Good to hear about this not so celebrated about the earlier stuff though great pics of you in the linky above!

On an unrelated note - will pull finger and get your stuff done this week ok.

Well I still feel guilty about that oil slick. I hope you are feeling better Mike? And I really hope there is no flack from the kart club. Well it was indeed a very event full meeting. I love that track. Might even be my new favorite. For those that don't know It was my engine that exploded in spectacular fashion leaving all of its oil on the main straight. And lots of hot metal flying in all directions. It let go just on a gear change so 12000ish rpm. I think it was the piston that let go as it was always the weakest link. I will pull it apart tomorrow and take some pics. I am sure there are plenty around as lots of people took photos of its corpse.

Watching Avalon carve up the field was inspiring. Super precise riding and a great engine. Very cool. Well done that young lady. Go the 2 strokes.

I am looking forward to the GP.

Thanks So much Steve. Great weekend and a really relaxed event. Was great to meet so many new people and put names to faces. I so drank to much, but whatever. I had a blast.

Anyone got any FXR case's drop me a line.

Do have a look and see if pics of Riches engine are there, it is quite amazing!

Further to that unrelated note; Brilliant.

Him in doors will appreciate those...will point him at them...me I'm just a silly girl with no mechanical apptitude whatsoeva - they be wasted on me :laugh:

[Dutchee]

Got no pictures of the bike (plenty of others were taking pix), but pictures of the track being cleaned up ;)
Was lots of good racing in both grades, can't believe how well little Josh is gelling with his FXR, along with Ben at his first bucket meet (him who hated bikes and has taken to it like a duck to water).

Hopefully the kart club will be okay, as we did do the best we could with cleaning up. Oh Rich, next time you leave your chilly bin behind, can you make sure it's got good beer in it as well? Disappointed to find nothing of interest in it lol

Always a pleasure, i felt like a piece of toast over the last 24hrs given all the sun and wind. Went out today and rode my Street Magic to a 2nd place in the annual Waitangi Day Waipawa-Otane scooter race. Still not finished unpacking all the crap and really can't wait to figure out who got what points. Sorry the grids were a mess I will try to figure better systems for the next round.

u may find you need a Barrel or sleeve, head... geadbox, shifters and and and and.. ok just a new motor! YIKES! looks like some of my old engines haha

Edit: thats seperated where mine did.. across the pin. to much BANG for your BUCK!

Nice crank send it to me and i'll fit a new rod and use it while you TRY find some spares! :P

[Yow Ling]

I feel for you Rich, gone are the days of easy to find FXR motors. Just see Wobb and order a RGV100 or ESE for a GP still Suzukis
Because I care here is a good start http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=445966826

[Bren_chch]

yeah can someone buy that before i do!!! :no: :no:

[Bert]

Well that would certainly slow things down a little. It will be interesting to see the insides.

Bets on root cause:

$1.00 Two stroke gods striking
$1.05 Suzuki gods just did their thing.
$1.10 Piston (as Rich has already alluded too).
$1.50 Valves
$1.60 Gudgin pin
$5.00 electrical fault (F5dave)
$10.00 Unknown but I have a spare set of cases..:niceone:

A day to be remembered haha

Ouch yeah that'd slow u up a bit!!

[Captian soup]

a tad late and off topic.. Thanks to steve and co. for another great meet and to all the munters that came out and got trollied.. my team mate especially, who is surprisingly a lot heavier than he looks, i found out as i attempted to carry him to bed..but thanks to him and raiden the romainan plum whisky is gone and thank god for that!

i do have a question though....what on earth possessed me and henk to have a head-butting comp? :facepalm:

Bring on te puke.. im gona get pissed in my helmet i think...

[koba]

Ouch yeah that'd slow u up a bit!!

It was spectacular.

I hear the people in the "Chook Shed" Timing booth had pieces of shrapnel ringing off the walls as it exploded in a catastrophic mess.
I think Rich said the felt the shrapnel blow past as she went.

There were bits of fried metal all over the show.

My view of it from a far-away flag point was quite crazy, one of those ones where you wish you had a camera because you can't adequately convey the images in your memory.
I just saw this huge plume of smoke erupt from the back of the bike. Poor Brayden was the new guy in the flag box before it and had Hels and I both screaming at him, he didn't know what was going on but those who have seen a good pop before knew it was going to be messy.

I'm still amazed at how big the 'pop' was, by far the biggest and nastiest I've seen.

Dear AJ,
I hate to shatter your illusions, dearest, but . . .
Str8 was having problems with her carpal tunnel and I'm older than you (I think, 'cause Skunk told me I'm older than everyone) and have a severe lack of talent. (My bike suffers the same as yours, except for the tyres lol).

But it was huge fun and that's what it's about for me. At least this year I didn't stop riding mid-race so I could watch the racing.
Roll on Te Puke, even if it means missing yet more points at Auckland (I've got so many DNF's and DNS's but get good points in F5 as there's not many of us in the grade lol).

Yours sincerely,

I want to see Rich's video. The camera was still recording after the explosion. It'll be a giggle if we can hear people's comments. Sorry Rich, never good to blow an engine, especially if you are more mature and married, if you know what I mean.

Off topic, who else noticed that Rich has a sort of Elvis Costello thing going on with the hat and stuff?

Just checked it and as I thought I didn't turn it on. Fooooooool. All I know is that I look like such a fat bastard in them photos I am going manorexic. When did I get so old and fat. At least I didn't get beaten buy a girl. I am sure she would have, but hey I'm clinging onto that fact. Well off to through up my dinner and then go for a run.

Baah Humbug to that. It sounds like there were too many tent-poles and not enough rain. Probably the right amount of hangovers though.

Oh bugger, you've now reminded me. I didn't take any photos of the pole-less tent (yes, someone forgot their tent poles). But they had a trailer to put the cover over, so it was all good (plus no rain). - anyone take photos of the mini motard bikes' tents????

Guess it's going to become a tradition - someone has to forget tent poles each round.

Definitely the right amount of hangovers - I was fine as I didn't drink much (this time).

Just checked it and as I thought I didn't turn it on. Fooooooool. All I know is that I look like such a fat bastard in them photos I am going manorexic. When did I get so old and fat. At least I didn't get beaten buy a girl. I am sure she would have, but hey I'm clinging onto that fact. Well off to through up my dinner and then go for a run.

Mate, if the missus is lap scoring, of course you are going to win from the lap scoring booth.

That port all seems a bit fruity, however if you can find some that passes the cork dork test put me down for a bottle of dealers choice.

That does look mildly interesting, but alas I could not participate as I am married and the Missus would probably frown upon such goings on as you may soon find out. But yeah, I could be little John with some persuasion.

Have some port sippers never use them, sort of fun to drink from but a real bastard to clean.
