Elephant Run is on again

**Forbes & Davies** · 6th March 2006, 10:54

Hey Everyone - keep 30th April free - the Metzeler Elephant Run is on again.

All you gotta do is get a bunch of mates together, and turn up at the Taupo track - and if you're riding on Metzeler tyres you go into the draw to win heaps of cool free stuff.

There's also going to be the chance for a couple of short sessions on the track, club racing on the day for you to watch for entertainment, and food available.
Post classic racing legend Vince Sharpe, and current 600 Sports Production champ Craig Shirriffs will also be there for you to have a chat and / or get some riding tips.

Plan to arrive around 11am if you want to ride the track and get in on the prize draws.

And don't forget if you need some new tyres before then - fit Metzelers and then you'll be in to WIN free stuff - helmets, jackets, boots, tyres.

If you aren't riding on Metzelers you're still welcome - in fact everyone who comes along and signs up will get a discount voucher for your next set of tyres - Metzelers of course!!

See you there!!

Sounds like a plan. I'm going to be looking for some new tyres around that time and was looking at Metzlers anyway.

well i got metzellers... but the only elephants on them are on the tyre wall

yo MT, you wanna catch up for this one?

Eh? I thought last time everyone went in the draw just for turning up??? Maybe I remembered wrong or did the rules change? Doesn't really seem worth it though to come all the way up from Wgtn if you have to have Metzelers on.

In saying that, last time it was a bit of fun hooning up there, but what a mission for one day!

Should be a good day but can't see many fronting if bike is on other brand tyres.
Thought the idea was to get the tyres out in the marketplace. Nothing works better than word of mouth. I wouldn't buy a set just to try them out as others with heavier bikes don't recommend them (ME880, lighter bikes seem OK though) Though I would trial a set if I won them to check out the issues for myself and compare them with what I have. Now I guess that I will stick with the brand that sticks. :spudwave: this smiley face wont be going to this one, sorry guys, sorts of looses the point somewhat.

Could do mate. We'll set something up closer to the day.

Oooo Tempting. Now that I have some lovely Metzeler M3's on my bike!

We are hoping to bring a few bikes up from the Bay. Slow riders fast riders and all in between. I hope to lead the slower group out 20 minutes before the faster bikes leave. Should all arrive at the same time. track time sounds like the go. Yea Kornholio..

..lets give him the learn.......
