Trucking your bike to Manfield from Auckland.

Please register your interest here if you want your bikes transported to the Manfield race track from Auckland.

So far I have:

As it's very early stages I am still finalising plans. At this stage I have an open bed truck in mind that can take about 8+ bikes (to be confirmed).

The truck may be driven down by FireFight depending on how things go. For those of you who don't know FireFight drives fire engines and is as capable a driver as you're likely to get, so your bikes are in safe hands.

Costs at this stage are still being worked out and I shall let you all know as soon as that is finalised. The same goes for the departure and arrival schedules to and from the track.

Kind Regards,

JSG.

Manfield is several hundred kilometres from Auckland. The trip down will take at least 7 hours, depending on weather conditions. Are you prepared to ride down in what may be cold conditions (June weather) and maybe even heavy rain?? You would also be carrying all your gear and luggage and arrive rather tired spending energy that you will most definitely need for the long track training day ahead of you. This will also be the safest option if (hope it doesn't) one of you crashes.

So think about it, would you rather be fresh and energised or do you feel very fit and healthy and believe you are ready to challenge your fatigue threshold and handle the extra hassles if you crash??

Provided you have enough cash to pay whatever ticket the cop gives us.

If you're after a lift down I have place for 1 person in my car.

I would sign up however it would be a waste of time on a slow 250.

Not sure how much thought.. if any has gone into this,

A flat deck truck is no bloody good, better to get a covered in one like a small furniture truck,(pref with a tail lifter) won't only be bikes going down, there is normally heaps of shit that your never going to need, but think you should take, tools, spares, lap tops for the geeks who can,t live without a kb fix.. spare fuel bought at Ak prices, (or stolen,) tent's for those too tight arse to fork out some dosh for a motel, bulk curry powder,.... camp cooker....blah fucken blah....generators for tyre warmers and latte machines, hot water bottles, fuck the list goes on....

F/F

**texmo** · 10th March 2006, 18:38

I told you no Bombay specials, there will be Suzukis on that bastard.

Like I said I'll have it sorted. I'm just getting the ball rolling, we have a few months yet to go.

Don't give a

bout your oo-oo-ki's there's my baby that will be going on the back too and I always treat it with kid gloves.

Cheers for the tips F/F. Trust me I ain't interested in doing a half baked job for my bikes sake.

Can you hire bike trailers.....reason I say is that if I do not catch up with Jim2 and go down earlier, I have a 7 seat MPV and tow bar so I could take my bike plus those guys putting their bikes on truck and share petrol...
