was thinking about racing it but no where near fit enough to hang onto a 450 for 4 and a half hours just yet, may still try to find a smaller bike to do it on,

You could borrow the GF's CRF150f if you want, but I have to warn you, when both horsepower kick in, it's quite a handful...

Took about 0.5 seconds for my goggles to get covered in mud last year, and there is always ALWAYS some one who crashes in that drain on the start. Hopefuly they put hay bales around the water troughs too or atleast mark them...

im not old enough for vets (just under) and they still do 4 laps,

Super Vets do 3 laps but you need to be 40

yes i did the Tarawera 8 yesterday approx, my mechanical ability was even worse than i thought my fitness might be, but there is always next year

wicked track, numbers a bit down but i think its the sign of the times,

Cody Cooper won again, coming from outside the top 50 over the timing line, (you do approx 3km then start lap one which is where the timing line is) to be second by the end of the first lap, Mitch Rees lead for a long time (lap and a half) which is awesome as well, DK Second then Rhys Carter 3rd,
