I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

[Peeteey]

Hey folks, I'm looking for a spare set of rims for my '97 XT600. Anyone have any lying around they'd want to part with, or know of any other models/types that may fit?



Cheers!

[brp]

was that the one i drowned the ktm in - still havent seen the footage of that - feel free to post up whoever filmed it or took pics. was the last one before we got to fairlie. you coming along this year????????

Yeah that be the one, the pig was grunting carrying a 38 rear

Not this year, got bit on.

Anyone booked into the top 10 shit-hole camping ground if you have paid to have
a bed made up, make sure before you hit the fart sack that it consists of
more than a sheet and a duvet cover, and if its the cell beside the toilet asked
to be moved so you are not woken by punters all hours of the morning.
Have a fellow biker spit on you in the morning to save using their shower.

Have a good blast all going ...


Peeteey if you get no answers, found plenty on google about comparative rims when I
was looking, you may have to change the bearing for your axles (could look on bikebandit)
Was looking for awhile for pig rims - $400 to $600 seemed to be the average, last month
scored cr250 rims with tyres, sprocket, brake disks for 90 bucks off trademe

many of us are doing dusty butt that weekend

ah, wondered if that might be the case. I have a conference in rotorua that I'm riding to and from so thought it would make sense to come home via the rainbow or molesworth.

To all of you going on the dusty butt - have a great time!

Cheers

Hey guys, I just moved to Christchuch to go to uni and I'm looking at going on some adv rides down here, (I know this must have been said hundreds of times I just thought I'd introduce myself ) anyway I've brought my dr350 down with me. I'm planning on getting it road legal when I can afford to but in the mean time I'm pretty keen to go out on some trail riding. So if anyone wants to take me and my bike out for the day and show me where all the best trails are there'll be a box of beer in it for you

Welcome mate....someone usually arranges something for a weekend ride....alot of busy people prepping for the dustybutt so might not be a lot this weekend or the next...

Hey fullas,
Any one at a loose end this Thursday or Friday 13/14th that keen to go for a skid around Banks Peninsula?
Being a shift worker most of my riding is restricted to weekdays these days, thinking of heading out about 10 and being home in time to pick the kids up from school

So anyway went for a ride Thursday in glorious sunshine while all you other boys n girls were stuck at work, quite eventful in the end.
Went through Purau to Port Levy then over to Little River. The Road to Little River had "Road closed" signs at the start, needless to say I thought I better go and investigate.
About 1km up, the road was totally washed out at a culvert (yes I took photos and no I can't get the bloody things to download) however there was a 30metre long rock garden section leading to a 1 metre deep washout prior to a concrete culvert that I had to build a ramp to climb onto. On the other side of the culvert someone had used a hay bale to bridge the gap between concrete and road so I carried on, there were quite a few trees down but they had already been chainsawed up. The road has suffered quite a bit of damage but only the culvert n rock garden would have stopped a two wheel drive car. After a coffee at Little River I went up Reynolds Valley Rd to Bossu rd then down to Birdlings flat hoping to have a blast along the beach, unfortunately the canal had been bulldozed open to drain Lake Forsyth so I had to return via Little River to CHCH.
A good day out even if I was Nigel no mates!

Sounds entertaining.
I'd never want to loose being able to ride weekends, definitely a more social time to be able to ride me thinks.

Weekends are definitely more social but when you are a shift working with kids, midweek is great for guilt free riding, no pressure from wife n kids to stay at home for family time

no pressure from wife n kids to stay at home for family time

[Padmei]

I'm hearing ya

Pressure......What pressure?

hang on, that's probably why my bikes have hardly been run this summer. Kids, sport, wife, etc

Wouldn't change a thing but I reckon any chance for a mid week blat while the family are busy gets my tick

I went over to Pigeon Bay on Saturday via Port Levy Pigeon Bay Rd.
I was surprised to see a waterfall on the side of the bank and where the bridge is you could see how much water flow there was by the left over rocks and other crap.
