Fascinating... Typical bloody wholesalers!

Are there prizes? Will I get a set of replacement Roadtecs? Are there really elephants involved?

I'll be sorting a route to Taupo for the run from Welly. The plan is to leave WMCC early, ride like fuck to see who can get there the fastest, win all the prizes and ride like fuck back to Welly.

Should be a bit of fun.

Anyone who is slow, gay, doesn't ride a Suzuki, or rides a yellow suzuki need not apply.

[jimbo600]

OK OK the last post was a bit of fun.

The pukka gen is that I'll probably hold counsel with WMCC dudes and arrange a route and a departure time. It should be noted however that the run will not be a group ride as such but rather an organised route, start time and destination. We want to avoid the pressure of big group rides. Crashing is to be avoided at all costs so this way everyone can go at their own comfortable pace. I however will ride like fuck to get there the fastest etc etc etc.

Interesting that only Suzuki riders have sub-categories for Suzuki riders.

Is there any more details abouts whats happening, I seem to remember something coming up before about this but can't remember any details.

Oh yeah mate. GSXR riders think that they are some sort of esoteric society heros. TL1000 riders imagine they are on reliable Ducati's. SV1000 pilots think that they are on acid. The Suzuki culture is a complicated affair.

Last year "130 wide" got a set of tyres as a prize, not bad for a last minute decision to attend. I think that work once again will get in the road of another great ride

Haven't heard from 130 wide on KB for a while - is he okay do you know? (if you see him say "hi" from me and Hamish)

Holeshot Motorcycles in Auckland have asked us to orginize the route to Taupo. So what we need is an interesting ride that will get us there by 12:00 without having to leave too early. Suggestions?

22, then back to way to otrahonga, down past te kuiti and across to taupo from 8 mile junction, good mix of roads there.

If you can get insurance for riding on a track for a single day? Particularly with State? If so, how much?

Best insurance is Dont Crash.
