[dino3310]

Taumaranui motor camp

[MXNUT]

Right People, information is up on the calendar page now about the start time and place / accomodation and where to register. :ride::ride::ride:

So far there are 3 different options for the route from Pio Pio to taumarunui and i will decide on the best option closer to the time depending on expected numbers etc...

If someone wants to post the link up to the calendar page that would be great ( when i do it it seems to auto register everyone who visits the calendar ):brick:

We will have an extra hour up our sleeve at the end of the saturday this year as saturday is the last day of daylight savings.:sunny:

[Eddieb]

I unregistered. I move to Hamilton the weekend before so not sure I will be organised and recovered enough for a weekend away that weekend.

[Eddieb]

auto register aye, oh bugga you fella's have to go now

I unregistered. I move to Hamilton the weekend before so not sure I will be organised and recovered enough for a weekend away straight after.

[dino3310]

yell if ya need a hand mate

[Shewolf]

it's been far too long between Adv rides - I'm in! :banana:

[sinaptik]

Very keen, but by that time I'll only have been riding for a little over a month.

[Eddieb]

I can't make it, turns out friends from the UK are in town for those 2 days only.

Keen to do the 42nd sometime soon though.

[sinaptik]

How much experience is required for this ride? I'll have a bit of street and highway experience, but little off-road skill.


Also, what do you guys bring? Days change of clothes, food... ?

[dino3310]

sleeping bag, change of clothes for a beer in the evening

[Horney1]

Hi y'all. Reasonably sure I'll be in but just got to count some pennies first (I moved recently to ) & I'm lining up on a rego very soon (oh, & I've got to charge that battery!!)

Hey. That's Easter, everyones supposed to be relaxing or riding that weekend! I can feel a bbq comin on in Hamilton though! :drinkup:



yell if ya need a hand mate
Say yes Eddie! :D - Dinos' a real decent bloke. He gave me a hand to move recently. Most appreciated Dino! :niceone: May the lotto gods and be kind to you.

I try and avoid lifting much these days (tryin to save myself for picking up the 990!) but if you need an extra hand Dino knows how to find me.

the 42nd could be a bit iffy for the inexperienced but there will be a hand to lift the bike up.... after the photos:rolleyes: or you could skip the 42nd like some others do...

[Horney1]

I think we'll pm about that one & keep on topic :D

[888]

Sounds good- I'm actually doing some of this route in reverse this saturday- I'm driving straight to Owhango - 42nd - National Park fuel up- Fishers- back out through Kaitieke. I've attached a photo of my new CRF250L after riding around on some back country last weekend, at the end of Oio road. It will be bone dry on the 42nd this weekend, we can only hope for some heavy rain when we ride this to make it more fun :drool:

[Crisis management]

I might turn up for the saturday and wobble around at the back of the pack... will see nearer the time.
I assume it's starting in Otorohonga?

[Cary]

Despite my big talk I suspect I'll be joining the goat chasers, the R80 on road tyres isn't quite the competition machine I think it is. :(

[Brian B]

I think I could poodle as well & not hold any one up.
It looks like I'm in if nothing else crops up, I have to attend. Mum inlaw not the best may have a funeral etc to go to.

[That looks like fun]

In :banana:
Hope its not to dusty :baby:

[Box'a'bits]

Nic is from Taranaki? :thud:
Dunno. Last time I looked she only had the four fingers & one thumb on each hand, & then there's the English accent, so no, probably not THAT kind of 'special'..<_<

Weather Forcast looking mostly good with a small shower of rain on Saturday morn to keep the dust down.


I still have a spare bed in my cabin if anyone needs it, send me a PM.

[sinaptik]

Looks like I'll have to skip this one. Bike needs some love after last weeks trip to Cape Reinga. Also, gravel is not my friend at the moment :P

Hope you guys have fun, I definitely want to do Fishers and the 42nd sometime!

[nic]

cheers for the messages....

oddly, I am not in awful lot of pain...but having my right arm taped and in a sling is rather inconvenient:violin:.

I'm pretty miffed to be missing this ride................I miss you guys lotses :love:

[DR Girl]

Sorry to hear. Take it easy.

[dino3310]

No, your safe, I've got a bucket to reassemble tomorrow in readiness for the bucket GP at Tokoroa next weekend (not far from your place, come on down on the saturday) and the 450 requires a thrashing at South Head on sunday, should be good weather all round.... :cool:

I'm planning on Mike Brittons Mangakino adventure ride on the 20-21st so be prepared for the drought breaker then!

Have a good ride you lot, remember: if in doubt gas it out
