    Nah, it's not going to be as technical as the CCA and I've video of you punting along quite happily on that.

    Sit at my pc and watch it

    I have about 8 minutes of helmet cam footage from sitting behind you when we were going over the farm tracks that were the mornings first off road section. It didn't make the cut I put up on Youtube and needs to be edited out of an hour long recording.

    Now there's a confidence builder...
    Learn basic maintenance as motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking in

    you be fine, your all more than skilled enough to ride it.

    you just need to take your time going down.. it quite steep but short distance.

    First time I've been on here in ages!!

    Not even sure that I'm in the right thread here but was directed here by NanaMac She's filled me in a little bit about whats happening. Unfortunately, the rally I take part in starts that weekend but it does finish in Wellington the next weekend!

    Anyway... I digress.. hopefully I wont make myself look like an idiot here, but I heard something about doing some fundraising along the way? Am I correct? I also heard, in addition to that, that you guys would like to (MAYBE) give it to the rescue helicopters. I work for the Auckland one now, and have spoken to my bosses, and they would be happy to help you out should you need anything. We can split it between different helicopters too, coz I think thats what you wanted to do. But they're all there for the same reasons

    Let me know and I'll get the bosses into action!!
