Gremlin, Jantar, you will be sadly missed this year. Next time eh?
Gavin, Jeff and myself, BMW and two Africa Twins, are starting Nth Island and risking the ferry timetables.
741 Friday. 787 Saturday, and 774 Sunday. These are approximate distances. Will find out the true distance. Don't forget to take a photo of your odometer at the start.

Hopefully see many of you out there, but that doesn't always happen, depending on ones route.

Two days until its time to make my way North. Heading up the Rainbow on Thursday as a warm up for the TT. Planning to do 270, 1150 and 900 but I think the weather has other ideas...

Heading south on the ferry today

Looks like the weather men have changed their minds since earlier in the week after I re proofed my waterproof gear

Anyway my first TT 2000 so I think I am well prepared Im sure I will have forgotten something but never mind just going to have a good time. See you all in Christchurch Sunday

Heading from Hamilton to Bunnythorp tomorrow. Leaving the Tron at about 10.30 am if I can get away by then.

I arrived back home in the very earl hours of this morning (1.am approx.) This was the hardest tt2000 of the three that I have done. I will try and complete "a blog" in the next week or so.
I am looking forward to reading everyone else's writes ups as well.

Got home last night after a fantastic weekend on the TT2000

After months of planning and playing with differant route options all worked out well. Did my KMs and points required with a bit to spare. Got slightly off track a couple of times . Meet some really great people and was able to put some faces to the names on KB .
Had a real blast bring on next years

Will do a write up at the weekend should have caught up on my sleep by then

No write-up yet but I did some Google Maps of my routes: http://banditrider.blogspot.co.nz/20...ome-again.html

Frustrating at times but bloody good fun all the same!

I guess I'll have to wait until October for the 'North Island 1600' for the next decent ride?
