told ya so
Yea, now I get to pay heaps more for parts that arent available or discontinued, yay for jap bikes
You arent a road rider in disguise are you?
we may just go where no ones been
Weekend cruiser
Farm enduro was run under the Thames Valley Club, thats what is in my log book.
Kinda curious why you could not have done a Woodhill enduro though( The Whangaruru Enduro was not run by a MNZ affiliated club, well any club really, was a Bennett/Nield event ).
KDX 1, Fantail 0.
Care to share any more details? Or is it too early to start getting concerned?

Like Oz maybe... rego for all off road bikes? Ahh the great ACC money grab.

Like how will they police that?

Bombshell time.
Motorcycling of the off road kind aint cheap. If the cost of a MNZ licence is going to send you to the poor house maybe you had better look for another pastime.
Its the cost of a tyre or if you live in Auckland about 30 Nescafes.
Shit I'd pay $500 to ride the Riverhead Enduro its going to be that good.
Still no rain.

The rains cuming this event has always been a ride for the hardcore/he-man types, a latte drinking jafa will cry enough on the 1st hill.
MNZ & ACC getting into bed over coverage at events this is a real worry as all I see fees going up & less events.
MNZ has long been eyeing up the trail ride/non event rides as a funds source.

It pissed down all night and was still raining when I left for work.
It's going to be hard core, hopefully i can get there with my camera.

Its not the cost of the license that will put people off its the timming i think. It would be $120 for one race, as expires at the end of this month.
Personally for the $500 youd pay, i rather go up the farm for the long weekend.
Im sure the enduro will be good, but would be nice to see this event available for the not so serious riders next time. And i know it will be wet in there, but you don't need to be birchy or in a title hunt to enjoy it.

keep taking the drugs and she'l be right

OK...I'm going to open a new thread on the MNZ/ACC thingy as its getting to the point where if we don't act as a comunity then shit is going to happen.
Good luck to WMCC for Sunday. Its a pity that a marginalised sport like Enduro's is further penalised by dated rules regarding licensing. When you are trying to promote the sport and get more involvement then to exclude participants, well go figure.
This rule regarding having a licence for national events was brought in during the heyday of MX when they had to restrict fields due to high numbers. Times have changed and nowadays they can't even get a full 40 rider gate (30 at the MX nats).
Yet as in the new post MNZ are going to bleed all riders with a tax, including and targeting trail riders.
Anyway enjoy the dry track on Sunday Factoryjohn. Maybe the easter bunny will arrive for you or better still you will one day get to really sit on Santas lap. You deserve it for being a good boy.
nadgery as
I'm told by a friend who entered that all the top guys lost time and a lot of riders pulled out.
Fair enough not making it a TTR haha, kids would have cried!
told ya so

Everyone lost time. Hopefully some video pops up, from the results it looks like it was a grovel, maybe even rivalling the great tar hill enduro of 2010.. lol
we may just go where no ones been
Old & unwise
It'd be cool to edit some helmet cam footage, but I'm not convinced there is a helmet cam that would have survived.
Anyways, here's some photo's from the event, I've got a fair few more, just haven't had the chance to go through them.

20 intermediates finished, 5 of those had houred out ( they are running 7th,15th,19th,24th,39th overall in the series ).
17 intermediates didn't finish
17 experts finished, 1 houred out.
8 experts didn't finish.
No one made time, be curious when the last time that occurred, I figure when Chris Birch loses 3 minutes & Sean Clarke is seen knackered that she was a damn tough race.
Not sure whether to be relieved or hacked off I missed riding the legend that was the 2010 Riverhead Enduro.
