    What time are people heading off from Auckland on Friday? I'm planning to leave about 5.30pm if there's anyone around then?!
    Was hoping to join you but it seems the Austrian elves who are making my sprockets are taking ages to dig up the ore.

    Have fun guys, get plenty of pictures of all the fun you guys have so you can torment me with them on monday.

    The faster guys might be going through there earlier, (say 11ish on Sat, the relaxed group should be there around noon).
    Two access points. Hwy 22, then turn down Waikaretu Rd, or gravel access up Te Akau coast rd, and turn onto the bottom of Waikaretu.
    Cool, thanks. No need for me to be there before 11!

    And last time I was there the bike was a bit bent and we were both covered in mud... hope they've forgotten!

    You'll be fine this time, it's too dry to be muddy..............





    I will be making my way slowly back to Auckland later in the avo if you want some company, I will just wander off from wherever we are at 2ish and head north from there via whatever interesting route I can find.

    Hi Phil,
    Me n kanny are cheaping out abit this w/end.
    Taking some weetbix/coffee etc for brekky, and will be going cheap on evening meals also. (need to save money, as that robber Santa is closing in fast).
    No flash luxury pub meals for us, plus, the pub will be that busy, I think you'll be waiting an hour for the food to arrive.
    MHO

    See you lot out there, safe travels everybody.

    Tempting, but I have now commited to some *relationship management* this weekend.

    That leads me to ask what are you riding?

    Well... the plan WAS to borrow my mate's Africa, as the woman was going to come along, and 2-up on the KLR isn't the most fun thing in the world. However I've now been sucked into a family gathering tonight to discuss items of importance, and that's likely to spill over to Saturday too. Grrrr. Looks like I'm not to hit the gravel this weekend.

    Me too. I've got 2 naked LC4's in the shed. If I can encourage them to breed I'll have a bike with 65hp, 18L fuel tank, electric + kick start, no vibes, a comfy seat, light as & long travel suspension.

    You guys all have a good time & I look forward to the ride report.

    Cheers
    Clint

    Did you think the 690 suspension was not long travel enough? I was a little worried about that, but after riding found no issue with it. Looks way more stumpy that it feels to me.

    Instead of watching the bikes get-it-on, maybe you should be working on your RR?
