Speedpro and myself are looking for space for two bikes and four people (two riders, two mechanics), pay costs etc.

If anyone has spare room we would love to hear from you.

Well if you guys can't get space we should all try to pit close together with the eazy ups make a little bucket tent city. Might look little like a dodgy parts market has spurn up.

Sounds good, where are we going to park the vans etc? I have a tarp which is easier on paintwork that ezy ups that tend to get caught in the wind.


. . .But the idea about the dodgy part mart sounds good as well. Maybe flick off a bunch of those 'Brembo' break(sic) master cylinders to unsuspecting superbike punters?

OK I have had no luck with the garage thing, so its a popup, a Bucket tent city sounds great, fun to all be together 2.

Speedpro and I expect to be there Friday 6 ish guess Kel will be there about then to, keep a space for us.

See you sat morning. Leave us a space if can. - Else we'll have to set up an alternative market; - Chinatown vs the Mafiamarkets, it could get ugly.:eek5:

.....homo......

I have been making bell mouths out of PVC pipe and attaching them with a 50 year old hose clip. If I spay them silver, I might be able to flog a couple at the parts stall.

My bike is fab. You shut your mouth.

Shouldn't be hard. Its not in the engine yet. Might be running old faithful for the GP again.

That is one ugly piston. There's big round scoop things in the top and it's all bumpy. No wonder they keep breaking all the time.

Assuming a few base dimensions I make that piston to be about 105mm across.

Mike mike miiiiike. I almost took a photo with the verniers just for you. But hey I use photoshop for a living so I could have easily just shopped the numbers. I just hope it can all come together in time. really not looking good.

Weather man has updated his forecast but it still looks like Saturady night will be a wet one, cabin at the campsite probably is the way to go. As for Sunday, well that garage would have been nice - "Sunday 25th, Rain with northwesterlies" :(

Yeah I checked up the Great lake campsite. Bert PM sent, or else who else needs to share a cabin (std have 2-3 beds deluxe 4 I think from the website)

ok Bert is sorted by himself so I have booked a cabin at great lakes myslef which is pretty close to the track, or at least on the same side of taupo. There is room for one or perhaps two people & will cost you $30.

Hey we were both drunk that night & I thought we were going to keep quiet about that:shutup:.

But no, - there's a separate bed, although I have been known to sling shoes if you snore too much.
