Wellingtonian riders going to Roy's Hill 2 & 3 July

**Str8 Jacket** · 21st June 2011, 12:01

Righto, who is planning on going to this event? Cheap as chips:

3-5pm practice on Saturday
Racing Sunday.

$30 entry ($20 each on a shared bike CONDITIONS APPLY)
$20 Day Licence

Sign in 9:30

Bikes must conform to MNZ regulations and excessively loud machines will be excluded at the discretion of the race officials at any time.

Who wants to go but for some reason is unable, we (Welly KBers) may be able to help! I know that we have around 7ish people who have already put their hands up to go already!

Let's put on a good show and show these Hawkes-Bayites how to really race!

(not me though, I suck!)

I'm keen, but will have to get one of the bikes ready. So it might be 3 years away

.

Is there camping at the track?

Apparently there is camping at the track but it will be freezing. Looking at staying with one of the other HB Bucketeers.... I reckon if we can get a good indication of who needs beds then we can probably ask them nicely and see who has spare room for us.....

As for the bike, no worries there'll be a few that you can ride!

Bring it on...looking forward to spanking some Wellywood arse...

hmmm I was pretty keen to go but I think my bike is a bit loud.
May have to think up some secondary muffler to slip on the end of the current set up.
Any ideas?

Lit the fire last Friday night for the first time this year. Got down to 3 degs. You guys would be off to the beach if it ever got to 3 degs, wouldn't you?
Thought about coming to Kaitoke river last weekend, but I prefer rafting the Motu or Rangitakei...

Sorry, can't help re muffler but you should DEFINITELY come to Roy's Hill. It's an awesome track. And let's face it, the weather is much more likely to be better than here!

We've been having some abnormally warmish weather here! I didn't ride on Sunday, just really couldn't be f*cked! The racing was awesome though!

we'll give you an exemption sticker, or could put a sock in it...

NOOOOO!!!

you know why.

**Moooools** · 21st June 2011, 18:23

Can you actually get an exemption sticker? And how does a sock help?
Or have I become a victim of sarcasm not coming across on the inter webs?

I would definitely come if I wasn't worried about being kicked off the track mid day.

The MNZ legal limit is 95db. Last year when my muffler fell off my FXR they just happened to have a Db meter out there. I was second loudest at 93 db with a 550mm straight pipe. We encourage people to keep the noise to a respectable level tho... If you take off just one plug lead, that normally reduces the noise level...

**Trudes** · 21st June 2011, 18:38

Yep, we've decided to go through, providing a whole lot of shit doesn't happen! I haven't ridden there yet, was one of my goals last year that didn't eventuate, so wouldn't mind giving that one a tick.
We're set for a bed thanks. But may be keen to do a Welly Bucket Convoy depending on timing. Haven't got the white van anymore so can't do The White Van Driving Wanker Convoy this time

Should be all good then. On an FXR engine with a short little can on the end.

Also wellingtons bets presented bucket so you will be dazzled by its beauty and forget about the noise.
