From where, to where, and how long? All this mystery and suspense is getting the better of me.

no, motohaus is fitting it at lunch, around 12.30ish? But I might just be picking it up now, which voids the title. So we'll see.
Anyway, this little trip.. err.. it's heading to manfield.

So who's coming?

Manfield I cannot make, unfortunately. However, a quick (short) strop around Auckland I could do straight after work. It was the "leaving the smoke at 5" comment that got me all excited like. I figured you meant leaving from downtown for a quick little ride, now that I would have been up for.

Well, they're different . . . from each other. That dont happen often.

Buggy - safe to assume that your not at work, and therefor did not recieve my email earlier? And I'll be doing a heap of riding tomorrow, in all manner of directions, lots of rides in one day but none of them short. Could use a new set of tyres for it, but funds cant be stretched that far as yet.

yeah, I'm at work..
we'll do this run again some other time then, ay? You sure you don't want to have a whizz around Manfield?

Mate, would love to! But this weekend is most definately out. Gonna have to settle for a blast round woodhill, the opportunity to shoot my mate (paintball, its his stag do so poor bastard gets a bright orange jumpsuit complete with enough bells attached to put a morris dancer to shame), plus a couple of nights out on the town and a trip down to the coromandel.

Would rather be at manfield tho, I have to admit . . . but there will be other times.

that was the idea of this thread.. great work, huh?
I'm gonna put another Viper on. Quite like the tyre, and want to keep the pair on. The front is about 50% down, so it's worked out well.
Just got the accomo sorted (as long as I can find it!), so keen as a bean to be there.
How much is the entry?

I am envious - truly. Should be a great day.

Buggy, did you send your old tyre off in style? And if so, did ya video it?

bugjuice
13th January 2006, 12:49
well, new tyre fitted. On the way there, I pulled two of my best wheelies ever so far (one down the tunnel of the city on-ramp of the NW motorway), and just general dicking around. Didn't do a burnout. Kerry is keeping hold of it for me too, so if I want to finish it off around Puke or something, I can go put the old one back on if I can save the new one a little more. Best of both worlds, ay?!

You gonna try make it then Gav? I'd be flying laterally past yours around 7ish all going to plan. But not anywhere near vagas :p

gayness, i was going to be flying to ohakea to drive a car back to auckland for my old man but now some twat from his work is doing it for him on sunday. Woulda been able to come and atleast watch the action at manfield. Hope you guys have a blast. I dont think the r6 would make the trip both ways with a track thrash in the middle, the cam chain is rattling already and its only 4weeks old :shit:
