The inaugural Wellington two-stroke run: Date planning

[RDjase]

That sounds like a lot of Ks from wgtn to Minefield for a shakedown run. April 10 sounds good for Lake ferry or where ever.

I've not done a bone on my bike this week, too busy on other bikes. Further distraction of picking up another tonight & getting it ready for trail ride next week. At least its a 2 stroke.

I'm keen for a April 10 ride,

Your bike will be run in/jetted ect by then and will be Vic rd1 and ready to have a longer ride to Manfeild

Wet weekend has helped progress, despite the new GasGas taking attn. Engine's back in the frame (real tight fit, takes some origami moves), PVs back in. Needs pipe, rad, oil & water & it should start up.

foooooooooooook 2 stroke tried to seize again even though i had oil in the tank aswell as the self mix system for running in now it has some suspicious noises from the bottom end i think im seriously considering cutting the fuel line and throwing a match at it

[F5 Dave]

running premix for running-in a bike is never recomended by manufacturers s it leans the fuel to air mixture which is bad Juju.

poo got some bad advice then i got told to so that it would let the oil pump bleed up now i have to investigate these noises its making

Well things have gone quiet here. The new date was 10th April. How many starters have we got?

I actually have a chance of finishing my bike & being ready if I push on. Probably a bit silly to use this as a shake down ride, but there you go.

[Dodgy]

Not me I'm afraid - already have other plans...

Bugger.

[F5 Dave]

Mate what a ride that was!

Not sure why that cop didn't turn around when Johno did that leap up the dip on this side of the hill before he noticed him. Think we probably killed all the mosquitos in Wairarapa but there you go. & the sight of Jimmy pushing the MVX the last 10k into Featherston! Laugh - I almost pooped.

[Dodgy]

Photos please!!! Dave, how did the bike run?

[F5 Dave]

And we have our first nibble!

Nah everyone bloused out. Some of that stuff may have been made up.

(although this Johno chap almost pooped myself, fortunately he didn't turn around. Tigers are not dirtbikes, but they think they are sometimes).

I was sick during the week so I didn't finish mine. But should do in a week. Last test ride was very encouraging.

Sorry guys - My brother and family turned up so I thought I should spend a little time with him. 7 years since he was last here - lives in Viet Nam with his girlfriend and kid. Best excuse I've got.

[Qkchk:Me]

YOu guys happen to have a ride on next week or week of 23rd - 27th? Will be lurking in your neck of the woods with work but would be nice to see let alone smell and hear the essence of 2-stroke!
