I'll be in! Are suped up Honda 50s allowed ;O)

Double checking with MissSniper, Im not sure if she is up for it yet. Would it be a hassel if someone other than me could assess her riding before we go. She hasn't been to 100kph yet either.

Don't worry too much bro, this is only my second road trip on my bike and I tend to sit at the back of the group going pretty slow and I am gunna be even slower for the first 30-40 KM cause I haven't scrubed my tyres in yet.

Wish we could come too. But we're on the other Island, and right at the bloody top! Suppose if we leave now.... mmmmmm. Have an awesome ride guys, make sure someone takes plenty of pic's for the rest of us to see. We had a great day yesterday up hear with other KBers, the big yellow was out all day and is again today, but Im too tired, and too broke to even consider another ride. Maybe need to go to the shops for more milk though. Check out our pic's via TL Riders profile, you'll see a link to "Sucking Bugs", and find the pic's there. Look forward to your stories post ride.

You might be able to keep her company. She hasn't even seen a 100kph area yet.

yep I'll be there. need to finish off the rear tyre so I can get a big new shiny one put on.

big thumbs up to Bren for teaching me to ride on saturday. sitting behind someone and following there lines was a really good way to refreash the mind.

Yeah.... lets look at saturday, if that suits, might be a push going that far tho, if it does become too much can she not get on the back of your bike? There is a lot of hill work to be done.

Is this still the intended meeting time/place on Sunday?
I've had half an eye on these forums for a month or so and finally decided to cruse along for a run.
So count me in too.

Welcome to KB Tranie... errr, Salper.... (will work on a better short name I think)

You wont get much scrubbing done in the first 30-40km on the way to Arthurs Pass.

You don't really have to turn the bike for the first 70km from Christchurch.
I guess the centre of ya tyres will be ready by then.
