Rules are easy...and borrowed from Waikato!
#1 - Find the tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose.
#2 - Take the tag to a new location (location...
OK lads
Wanted to post the new rider list and a 2025 thread is the only way so here goes
New season kicks off new riders different teams as per pic.
Testing today I understand MM has been on the Team Ducati.
I wonder how Jorge Martin will fair this year.
wonder what the new Pramac colors...
Sorry in advance to those experiencing inclimactic weather.
But Dogam! It is the perfect day to paint or trim trees or wash the car.
Don't do any of those things. Don't even call a friend.
Just get out there and ride while you can. You don't work all week to mow the lawn.
I'm not...
The beauty of an event like this is that newer riders who have spent time more recently practicing around cones are possibly going to be better at it than a lot of far more experienced riders.
I think confidence is an essential part of biking, commiting to that corner or leaning further than you would have leaned before. swinging your bike around at slow speeds and making decisions in the blink of an eye. Confidence is essential so i try to use it as much as possible. come and join in!!
Would love to - but I can't as (a) I still only have my dirt bike and (b) confidence is clearly not my middle name.....maybe one day though I will make the switch from dirt to road........give me another 10 years Mr Confident

I sat my test on a barely road legal dirt bike in the UK, cones, figure 8's the lot in pishing rain & high winds, the bike was really easy to handle. If you can, go for it. Not sure what criteria is for the bikes, though & it won't get hurt if it has a lie down.

TBH, I would be in like a KY greased rat if had the time, I would be happy to do Taupo & back in a day, my arse would'nt, with the intention of happily just having a crack at my own pace & ability, squish a cone or three etc just for the experience & confidence boost I would get from better (more committed) riders. I would fill my panniers with foam, take my mirrors off & bubble wrap the bike. Be a bugger pushing it back to the Bay of Islands.
We need a motorsport facility up here. I'm going to call the mayor.

Never mind the mayor.....go straight to the top....call the President, or should that be Prime Minister.
