Surely your bike would be more economical than towing it plus presumably another bike in a trailer there? I'd imagine if you went the trailered option the gas cost even when split between two people would still be more.

Already decided to ride down so no point arguing it more. I was more worried about if I came off on the track and would then have no obvious way to get the bike home.
Damn no wonder no one tries to be sensible on here.

If you did happen to come off mate, no doubt someone would help you out getting you and the bike back to Hams.

Yes...."My bike also has a very small tank and I would like to be able to use the majority of my money on petrol for the track and not getting there and back." The majority of your money will go into the towing vehicle's petrol tank.

Thank you Dave! You'd be right too.

If you're really worried about it...take your meds and try to stay calm. There are people who can help....wearing their white coats, and sterile rubber gloves!

Your bike would be taken back for you I'm sure....but you'll have to cough up some cash to pay for gas for whoever has to go out of their way to take your wrecked bike home. Ok? Wont be me cos if I do go for a look, I'll be on my bike!

I forget which bike shop it was, but i believe they said during briefing, if you crash and have to be carted off in the ambulance they will take your bike to that bike shop and you can arrange to pick it up from there anytime. Im sure the same would stand if the bike is unridable and you have no other option, but looking at that picture of Knead-it around the footpeg, and remembering how we Knead-it fixed a punctured water pipe so the owner could ride home, id say even if ya crash, it will still be ridable. I crashed last time i was at taupo, massive highside, and i still rode it back to the pits, didnt have any front brake fluid left after the cap broke off, but i still rode it.

On a brighter note, Ill be there, all booked in, bike is nearly ready, just have to go into work today and bleed the brakes. And depending on the weather forecast closer to the day, decide weither to leave my road tires on or fit my shiny brand-spanken-new slicks.

You got that zxr running right yet goblin?

I bet you have a lot pf stray cats living at your place and the local kids are afraid to go anywhere near your house.

**Goblin** · 12th November 2006, 11:27
