    Are you getting it from Boyds? (Certain blue one with IMS tank and FMF pipe?)

    Cool, will see you at your place just before 1 on friday
    Here for a good time, not necessarily a long time

    Clint - just so you know who you're waiting for on the start line - Ant, X.T.C and I are not cool enough to ride the first section so we'll meet you at Minginui.

    Glenn's definitely not cool, what with a name like X.T.C and his other bike being a Buell and all. I just hope he doesn't turn up in his tassles.

    See you there.

    Aye the DR was the one from Boyds- runs real good, got some rust spots on the frame but I've nailed them with Prolan. I will be taking it through a full check up after the MMMM to see if there are any hidden surprises.

    Just talked to the Matawai Pub, the kitchen will be ready for a crowd for dinner & will also be open from 8am for breakfast. I have also given a heads up to the Waikaremoana Camp Store & the Tiniroto Pub so they should have plenty of hot food on the go.

    ...& a note to any MMMMM n00bs in the Cool Team, especially those from warmer northern climates : just because the forecast is for calm sunny weather does not mean warm! Rangitaiki will likely be brutally, frostily, foggily, icily cold Sat am. Those riding out from Taupo or Napier in the morning should allow plenty of time & watch out for icy patches on SH5.

    Cheers
    Clint

    +1 heed the mans advice.

    Last year while it was a lovely day the ride from Taupo out to the pub in the morning was cold enough to form ice on the front of our bikes and jackets, and for the 950 to drop to 1 cylinder.

    So now you ride a DR and don't have to worry about dropping down to one cylinder, since it only has one....

    Has anyone managed to get through to the Camp ground at Matawai? (Trying to book a bed for Saturday night.)

    All I get is voicemail.. I've left messages but he hasn't returned my calls.

    edit: I just got through. They still have a few bunks left.

    Use the phone number in Clints first post... not the ones on yellow pages/internet
