Motu where were you? Capital Coast photos here

[merv]

Motu while the 2 stroke might look like a Yamaha I think it was a Gas Gas EC300. There were at least 2 we saw on the ride.

Adventure rides take a lot of organising and the last one of these was 3 years ago and 2 years prior to that, also organised by 4skins so I thank him for doing a great job but doing it each year is just too much.

If the lower North island plan had kept working we would have done a Pukemanu ride, a Horowhenua Adventure tour and a Capital Coast Adventure every few years each. I can't complain because I've never been an organiser.

F/F what's your plan then, is it a road legal dirt bike?

Contrary to earlier forecasts the weather has been too bad here today so I've been out cleaning the bike and riding it around to make sure its thoroughly dry before I park it in the garage so that's cool. After rides like this one the paintwork gets hell so you have to spray a bit of CRC or similar on and thoroughly lube the chain or else next time you look at your bike it will be a brown rusting hulk. So good end to the weekend.

Pampera mabey???

Our trial was cancelled today,so no rides for me at all this weekend.I went up anyway as the weather looked to be clearing as it was supposed to,but it was really wet at Orere Point.We usualy ride in the rain,it takes a lot to cancell a trial,but it was all in a rocky stream,and the water level was up at least a metre.

I'd say Pampera too,the tank and radiators look pretty low,they have a very low CG.....just that a blue 2 stroke means it's a Yamaha....why don't Gas Gas pick another colour,terocota or peach maybe?

Great pics Merv. Hope they run it next year, plan to have a 2nd, more dirt friendly bike by then.

?!?! - i've done it on a Tiger and the Bonne Scrambler.

[merv]

Yeah good one Big Dave. Other than lunch time I never saw you on the ride so sadly I scored no pics of you on the Triumph, hopefully you, Vege and Stretch have a few pics to share with us.

Last time on the Tiger certainly put you in legend status so that was a hard act to follow.

Stretch is a maestro and I'm a mug novice - but he took the Scrambler through the Challenge loops that I had trouble getting an LC4 through.
I punted it round the main route with absolute ease and loved every minute of it.
It won the gong for best sounding bike too.
Beautiful motorcycle - I had to fight to keep Oscar and Stretch off it all day - even Vege grudgingly nodded approval before banging the WR650 drum as usual.
