Anybody doing this this year?
See first ride starts on 13th October at woodhill.
I hope to do better than last year after buggering up my elbow at the maramarua round. Guess i will be in the rookies again:slap::doh:

[Danger]

Yeah if there is nothing else on I might come out for a ride.

[A&R]

Did you have a go at it last year Danger?

[Danger]

No, just came out of retirement at the Dead Toad. Got the bug again, for now.

[A&R]

Do you know if chop, buddy L and co are doing it this year?
Also if you don't mind answering as I know you are an expert in this field, while i was putting new fork seals in the lads new rm80 i noticed the Teflon? had worn of the brg the fork slider on the left hand shock can this be recoated and what if i let it run completely down to the copper is it new shocks or can they be repaired?

[A&R]

yeah seen the YOUtube vid of you looked pretty awesome. I don't know if i could do 3hrs non stop. but will give GNCC a go anyway.

[Danger]

I'll try again, the internet keeps dropping out on me. Hope its sorted before tomorrows race!
If the bushes are damaged they will need to be replaced. Otherwise stiction and harshness will be a problem. I see alot of butchered bushes that have been put back into forks. The tolerances are fine, damaged bushes will comprimise your suspensions smooth action.
I saw Chop today but I'm not sure what his plans are. I think he is looking to sell his big green trailie and get another race bike.

[Wellyman]

I might have a go again seeing as I hasnt done any racing for a few years. was awsome when I useed to race.

I don't really like anything under 3 hours. Seems like a waste of a day for anything less than a 3 hour ride. Like MX, usually only get an hours riding over the day with the short races they have these days, yet it takes up your whole day. I think the GNCC races are only 2 hours, is that right? Thats why I have not bothered with them in the past. Would rather go trail riding and get a decent ride in, although even alot of those the tracks seem to get closed way to early.

[A&R]

Depends how fastyou are I suppose.
It was three hours for me last year at woodhill. Waimiha had to be seen to be beleived. it haled at one point and that was I January. I never been on a more slippery ride in my life. I could hardly stand up afterwards. having said that I just went straight into it. I had only bought the bike a day before and stupidly thought I could do the same as I did 20yrs ago.

3 hours racing Danger. and the tracks are usally open terrain stuff with hardly any tight stuff.

[Danger]

OK cheers, I thought they were shorter than 3 hours. Would be nice if there was a mixture of tight and open stuff. See you guys there, perhaps. Better get to bed so I can get up early for Ben Townleys race in the morning.
Spot ya!

[chop]

Yep i`ll be doing it. is great fun!

[cheese]

I might give it a go.

Any you guys keen on the Suzuki 6 hour in Napier next month? We should have a KB team!

[dammad1]

The GNCC is only two hours, I think last year the expert and elite classes might have been three hours, but they are listed as only being two hours this year.

Anyway two hours non stop is more than enough for me, but I will be doing the full series this year for sure.

[A&R]

You going in clubman dammad or rookie?

[Danger]

And what is the cost for the privelage of riding my bike for only two hours?

[Reckless]

yeah if Cheese and some of you guys go I might come and eat your roosts. Is there a web site we can suss it out, like where the rounds are, classes etc. I'd be a vet or rookie I suppose, hehe never raced but am old lol. Do you need your minz race licence, belong to a club etc and same question as danger how much to enter.

TIA

[Danger]

Here you go, no info on prices and only one round in Auckland. I probably won't bother traveling to any of these for a two hour ride.

[raglanash]

You don't need a licence and enter on the day.

ill do the auckland round of the Gncc, damaged my AC joint in my shoulder last year after 2 rounds.
Last year i was in clubman and it was 4 laps i think,
Better go for some runs after work and try and get fit!!
Price was steep, about 50 bucks i think.
and no liecence required.

[dammad1]

You going in clubman dammad or rookie?

I thought I would do the full season in the novice class and see where i end up. the one gnncc that there was some pretty quick riders in the novice class so I think that will be hard enough.

I think it was $50 bucks last year and although its only 2 hours its a hard 2 hours and when i'm finished i'm always glad that its over.

Most of all I just like the thrill of competing.

[cheese]

I think I might do it too as next year I'll not be able to ride any where near as much as I do now..... This is a good thing though....... :)

[Buddy L]

Last year im sure that Elite and Expert were 5 laps
Clubman and novice was 4 laps
Rookie and Women were 3 laps

[dammad1]

come on cheese are you going to elaborate on that?

[cheese]

Hmm can't right now, will tell you soon enough.

[Rupe]

Hmm can't right now, will tell you soon enough.

wrong hole:doh:

[Danger]

Ha ha Cheese is up the duff!

[dammad1]

Cheese that will be even more of a reason to ride, its good for the sanity!!

Hey reckless I'm the other side of 40 and cant say I'm particularly fit (you're only as old as you feel :woohoo::blip:)
I intend doing the lot if I can. Its hard work but good fun. I suppose it is espensive $50 bucks each race. The GNCC link in one of the above posts will give you the rules but they are in the middle of revamping it at the moment. They usually post the results a day or two after on the site.
The woodhill round was just about OK last year. I was knackered at the end of it. I have had my bike for just about a year now so i hope to do better than last year. I would have thought as you do ardmore and MX the whoops won't be a problem for you at woodhill. Roll on the 13th October. :banana:

[Danger]

Nah Cheese will be under the thumb having to to attend kiddies parties storing up brownie points add nauseum etc etc...to get out once a month for a half day if he's lucky.
Then when he can ride he will have to stay in the carpark watching junior putt around on his LT50 at 5km/hr.
Happened to many a good man that I used to ride with. :baby:

[A&R]

Nah he could get a sidecar:2thumbsup
Talking of which does anyone do enduro/trail sidecars in NZ did it in the UK but haven't seen it over here. It was always really mad fun:headbang:

[Danger]

Please don't encourage that, quads are enough of an obstacle on the trails already.:Police:

[scott411]

i have always wanted to have a go on a motocross sidecar, it looks a hell of a lot of fun

[cheese]

No comment.... :2thumbsup

[Buddy L]

If you need to sell that CR of yours cheese for a XR200 and a PW50 then let me know. :)

[Reckless]

Don't listen to their bullshit Cheese!
Watchin junior ride around on his PW50 is the greatest thing in the world. hehe you've seen me out with my boys its only been a year in MX but had many good years karting. Kids are great fun.

[cheese]

I'm really stoked actually, we have had quite a few issues trying to get pregnant and have been going to a fertility specialist. My wife has PCOS so it was like Russian roulette trying to get pregnant.

Anyway check it out.

:wari::2thumbsup

[dammad1]

[Danger]

Congratulations Cheese.

[cheese]

Na nothing wrong with my swimmers, her eggs don't come down as scheduled.

Found out alot about conceiving and pregnancy in the past year. Amazing to think how many unwanted pregnancies out there when you only have a 12-48 hour window to get knocked up!

I'm with you on that one dammad1!! Kids make your life!
Although at 13,15,18 mine are in the terrible teens. Just make sure no always means no! Damn glad we did, makes it a bit easier now!

[cheese]

Cheers guys! I can't wait for the next scan. the next one is a 12 week scan so we should be able to see some more things then.

[Reckless]

You'll have to post it up mate. Keep us in the loop now that we know!

We can be! Uncle Reckless, Uncle Dammad1, Uncle Danger, Uncle A&R etc etc. Hehe they say KB is a family don't they:baby:

[dammad1]

So whats the due date cheese?

[cheese]

Due Mid April. We got a 7 week scan cause we are going to a fertility specialist. You are more than welcome to be uncles!

[A&R]

Congratulation cheese and mrs cheese.
My missses liked the cute scan photo:niceone:
We have 4 ( they didn't have teles then:rolleyes:) 16 (going on 25:banana:) 15 (going on 20:wari:), 11 & 10 :innocent:. Wouldn't have missed them for all the world. geat fun are kids.
Like reckless says though you need to lay the rules down when their young makes it 10 times easier when their older. Just seen that super nanny thing on the tv just made me think what nice kids I have.

[dammad1]

My second one is also due in april, around the 9th.

[Wellyman]

You forgot uncle Wellyman!
Congrats man.It will be cool seeing you and ya kid at Woodhill at all the rides.bring him up right, bring him up an honda allright?
WM

[Danger]

Nah Honda don't make two strokes anymore.

[cheese]

Nah Honda don't make two strokes anymore.

LOL might have to go to the dark side!!!

Also there is a very high likely hood that it will be a girl as working with RF equipment all the time can effect you in some way that you are more likely to have a girl. So anyway I'm sure she will be kicking the boys ass round the tracks.

Oh and April the 9th is my wedding anniversary! LOL but it is due around the 16th I think.

[Reckless]

Nah Honda don't make two strokes anymore.

Kawasaki as well, from the rumor mill. Damn traitors!! Looks like KTM is gonna sell a lot more bikes.

Cheese? girl, boy, who cares. We made it a point not to find out, and it did make the special day, more special. Each to their own though.
Boys are easier (even the missus agrees).

[cheese]

LOL I want to find out because we have been trying for around 2 years so its like I've waited long enough!!!!!

anyway this is getting way off topic from the GNCC!!!

I'll post up some more scan photos when I get them.
