    Intrest Check - virtual motorbike rally

    I remember back in my younger days *cough* when I could goto a timeout or similar gaming arcade and there would be 8 motorbike games all lined up for races.

    1. does anyone know any venue's that have some machines hooked up?
    2. who is intrested in a championship event racing on said machines.

    Ideally. meet up at a bar near the "gaming arcade" have a few beers. draw up the board, have our race's on the machines to find the ultimate winner.

    spot prizes and all.
    also thought, riding in full gear, make for some funny arse pics.

    even if theres only 2 machines linked it can still be done just take longer.

    Don't know any in auckland but I know of a pool hall/pub that has two of them down here. Don't know if they are connected or not though.

    Hell yeah, sounds good. There's a couple at the arcade in the movies at St Lukes, a most inoppurtune place compared to those given so far but just in case. maybe a rousing watch of Worlds Fastest Indian before the big event.

    A few of us in Wgtn popped down into town one Thurs night and had a few races on four bikes on the (highly simplified) Isle of Man track! Had all the bike gear on - it was a bit of a laugh but kind of hot. Actually I think I was the only one dumb enough to wear my helmet. Safety first though, I always say.

    Actually they were 500cc gp bikes too cause they had tiny little pipes on them.
