Too early to talk about required tyres?:dodge:

Tyres will depend entirely on what air pressure you want to run in them and your preffered chain lubricant :bleh:

[Crisis management]

There will be "private" farm tracks :Punk:
There might be mud :facepalm:


I note this little point Colin, should I prepare to lighten the bike and get some really aggressive knobs?

I'm a definate maybe....

Think the XR's still around here somewhere....... Better rego it i guess, you lot have cops down there in the Naki??

[Phreaky Phil]

Better rego it i guess, you lot have cops down there in the Naki??Ahh yes and one is based in Waverly. Quite some years ago me and a mate were riding at a sedate sensible speed coming back towards Waverly on gravel and what should pop around the corner.:shit: The local copper. We did what we could to move over, he dived for his side of the road. We didnt look back:scooter::scooter: Next turn, that was us. get out of Dodge

[Phreaky Phil]

All looking good guys and gals. Have permission to cross a couple of Stations, weather permitting. I think MXNut has been keen on one of these for a while. :scooter:

Mud, nah mate. Be so dry you'll be wanting a beer stop by Kaiiwi :drinknsin

[MXNUT]

What time are you planning on starting the ride on saturday morning ???

Just trying to work out accomodation options of where to :sleep::sleep: on the friday night.

[Eddieb]

Dammit, about a month too early for me to make it.

[Phreaky Phil]

What time are you planning on starting the ride on saturday morning ???

Just trying to work out accomodation options of where to :sleep::sleep: on the friday night.Around 9.30 in Wanganui. We will ride down on the morning.

[dino3310]

Dammit, about a month too early for me to make it.

and 8 months to early for me

[GPS MAN]

Well, all booked in:niceone:

Now, praying work doesn't get in the way:angry2:

[GPS MAN]

The nice lady that took my reservation told me that was the last cabin...fyi

[Steelie]

More than likely a starter. Got a D606 with plenty of knobs left from the last" Liquifaction event" waiting for just such a ride.
Might stay Taumaranui Friday night so only have to take a couple hours away from work. Then early start, via Pipiriki to Aramahoe in the morning.

Anyone got a spare bunk for Saturday night, before I start searching....

cheers Anthony

[That looks like fun]

It is with much pleasure I announce :jerry: ITS NOT RAINING :headbang: We are into the less than three weeks to go mode and thats about when the last ride went horribly wrong :facepalm:
I would still wear knobblies though. I may know a shortcut :msn-wink:









Can someone shut the gate please

[.chris]

I am drifting towards to the "not going to make it column".
But if the Austrian couriers rush my bike bits over here then I might be a last minute starter.
Will be tenting so no sweat with the accommodation.

[clint640]

Maybe I should get organised for this... anybody got a spare bunk before I call the camps? Got a tent if the cabins are full.

Cheers
Clint

[Phreaky Phil]

Dawns not coming so it looks like I will have a spare bunk bed in my room. I think Colin wants one bunk so the other will be free.
PS; no snoring. Farting ok:eek5:

[tri boy]

PS; no snoring. Farting ok:eek5:

:killingme:clap: That is the funniest thing I've heard all day.
The bunk rooms smell like an offal pit in the midday sun on these rides.
As for snoring................:killingme:killingme

[That looks like fun]

Right you orrible lot :baby: At considerable effort (had to go for a bike ride :banana:) and great expense (tank of gas aint cheap you know :weep:) Phil and my good self have spoken to the last landowner and she is all GO!!!! :headbang:


He did mention something about ruts, watertables and sheep, should be no worries. I will get the gate

[clint640]

. I will get the gate

Now when did I hear that last :rolleyes:

Good stuff. Looking at the forecast I think I might even swap on some less knobby rubber :Pokey: Although I need to knuckle down & finish building pannier racks v2.0 first. It hasn't been good welding weather of late.

Cheers
Clint

[Phreaky Phil]

Another of those famous quotes.
"Ya wont need a good tyre on for that"

If you don't want it I'll offer it up to someone else.....

Work, Work, Work!!! No rest for the weary.....:mad:

Good, i'll bring the camera..... :cool:

[Phreaky Phil]

What tyres does it have on ?
A good rider on a GS with knobbies will get around in the dry but with road tyres :(

[MXNUT]

What time will you orrible naki lot be travelling through Stratford.

Was thinking of meeting up with you at the Z service station, as we are staying both nights at Stratford.

Tyres ...... I have decided to run with the 2/3rds worn knobbly i have on the back at the moment since Colin promised it is going to be dry.:sunny::sunny::sunny:


Phil, its a shame that Dawn is not coming as Faye was looking forward to having a wine with her on Saturday night.:drinknsin






Ps..... I will bring a new tyre down with me just in case i need to change it on the saturday night, Colin has been known to tell porkies before :spanking:

[Cary]

I've got the XR in it's dry weather settings based on Colin's advice..... course the wet weather settings consist of an unwashed air filter :cool:

Figured worn tyres will make it (even)more interesting in the dry :)

p.s. Colin a new handicap system does apply so you'll need to strap a case of that excellent Sentry Hills port to the WR :whistle: I'll buy a couple bottles off u in T'nui to lighten your load home :drool:

[tri boy]

2/3rds worn rear Kenda and 1/2 worn AC10 up front.
What could possibly go wrong........................
See ya tomorrow night.:cool:

[klrkiwi]

I think gs guy might have found the site and read the posts. He was backpeddling flatout. As a result I have a spare room in Stratford camp sat night. Wont be back online before event but give me a buzz on 027 2791331 if anyone needs a bed (snorers excluded).

[Phreaky Phil]

I have a used trackmaster front and a new E09 rear ( all my other rears were stuffed )
Sweet :banana:

[That looks like fun]

Shite!!!! LATE NIGHT AT PHIL'S CARRYING OUT EMERGENCY REPAIRS. :calm: It nearly was a case of "I will shut the gate". The Yamaha will be rolling out of Inglewood at 7. See the the Stratford guys at Z about 7:15 and through Eltham about 7:30 ish.
:2thumbsup

[Steelie]

I'm out, with a dose of the flu

Thanks Al for the offer of the bunk etc

[clint640]

Alrighty, I'm knocking off, packing up & heading down. Looks like a nice afternoon for a ride. Should hit Wanganui about 7. See ya's there.

Clint

[.chris]

Top work guys, a most enjoyable weekend. Had a nice run home up through waimiha.

[nooles]

Awesome ride guys, went thru some country Ive never been thru before and had a great time doing so. Haha have you guys checked your airfilters this morning, I think the farmers will be asking for some of their dust back and by all accounts they are welcome to it lol. Great ride and all bikes performed well.:niceone:

[manakau.KTM]

Thanks heaps for organizing this one. Even though I only did the first day, I think that I'll still have to empty the air filter box. Was the dust just as bad on day two?

It was great to meet you guys, looking forward to Taranaki liquefaction.

Cheers

It was still dusty on the roads but the offroad sections weren't deep "dust liquifaction" like the road to Earnies. I had an awesome dust free run through Aotuhia Stn, but then again I was leading. :2thumbsup. Dustiest ride I have been on.
Dusty Butt, Nah.
Dusty everything.
Or was that Crusty Butt :msn-wink:

Glad you all enjoyed yourselves

[That looks like fun]

To all those who came along and shared the fun a big thankyou :banana: I am glad that we managed to keep you all entertained, also very pleasing to have no buggers go home wounded :banana: Cant say the same for the bikes however :lol:That dust in the valley was something else :headbang:Ernies and the Broadmore were originally planned as part of the infamous Liquifaction :ride: I am sure those who went on that ride and now this one will see why we left them out last time :whistle:
My apologies to Al (dont know) for the wind up about the camp site, but really mate it was to easy a shot to miss :killingme
We could do with some rain :wait:
Although apparantly its a bit shitty around Makahu

[Cary]

Cheers guys for a great dirty weekend. Mostly went to plan far as i know! Would love to do that again with a lot more moisture and knobbys....

Thanks for getting me the port Colin, thanks to Elwyn we drank it 12hrs later...... :mad:

Thought the XR had blown a countershaft seal but turned out Elwyn(unknown to me) was very generous with the chain lube, phew!

Sorry to see you go Brent but had a good night Friday at least. Cheers to Clint for the food run. (free beer to)

Missed a few names(as usual)
