I think that is why they have not been running reverse direction, especially with the new gates set up. Might hurt ourselves more than usual.

Make sure he cleans out all the residue of wife before he gives it back, It can cause a lot of hassle if he doesn't.

I don't even want to think about crashing through there, the one time I ran that direction made me think we run reverse direction at Mt Welly, and you run the WRONG direction at Kaitoke

I'll just tell the police I've been making small child sausages for the local Thai restaurant, the food up there is so good that they won't risk closing it down for a minor matter of food hygene.

(he's still broken and we'll tell him after the fact lol - his bike lives with us, our wood chipper lives with him, must get that back home one of these days, I guess, oops).

Or, what do you need for your bike to get him going again? I did see a post and saw Dave? offer something, but too lazy to dredge up and look hahaha

Right found it. What year is the engine? Found a bike for sale for $450ono, which was for sale in January and February, so tempted to phone the dude and see if it's still for sale, if he'll take less and we can do an engine transplant down there. Then again, not sure what state the engine is in, but can find out. Oh, 1980 bike.

Ahh thank goodness for friends with 2 stroke knowledge and good eyes! It appears Rangi may not be as fucked as first thought, Yahh! Still may not be ready for the 8 & 9 but just stoked that I don't have to find a crap load of parts and require a whole lot of work!
Go Rangi!

Is there a Aucklander who can bring a ZXR side fairing down for me? It's in Waitakere.

**Henk** · 28th September 2011, 13:15

Yep. Give me the contact details.
Hope it's reasonably well wrapped, we are coming down with an absolute van load of crap

I was going to say "that's what happens when you leave it all on the track". But it must only happen to the mature gentleman racer (I am waiting for confirmation of my membership). You seem to be able to crash hard and stay awake all night.
