Mate, I think you've already done enough for a mallowpuff

Other than that, am I good to go in Cordura?

Cheers for the offers, alas my budget looks to restrict me to marshalling duties, we'll see on the day.

Bump... getting close now too.

I'll be there but not entering the Bandit this time so my back protector (7 link spool) will be free and I'd be happy to help out

I may be there to help out with marshalling/sausages, if I don't work late Saturday night. I'll see if I can arrive for the volunteer briefing at 8.30, if not I'll come say hi anyway.

Hmmm.... Well... I reckon, based on private testing carried out under strict laboratory conditions that the mighty Tritanic can wheeze up to an utterly phenominal 85 to 95 mph velocity (135 to 150 kph) with a true potential of 160kph on the cards (gasp) but the clutch is a bit slippy at the moment so hard to be sure... Even if it's a lower figure its nice to have something to do better than...

So - provided she passes the home mech check tonight (ie not eating it's lash caps) AND I can squeeze into me leathers (burp) I reckon I might rock on up for the laugh of it. Geeze, I'll even fit the patented oil breather catch tank for the real road racer look but the wide cowboy bars are staying!

Bit rough paying the 'over 600cc' entry for an under 250cc performance but I'm up for it I reckons.... Probably have to be headed away around 2pm though....

Cheers

Mooch - you going over mate? Might meet you at Pauatahanui?

We can always do with more class at this event Paul (talking about the bike sorry bro).

**limbimtimwim** · 9th February 2007, 11:59

That Triumph IS class.

You mean you just love me for my bike.... (sniff).... I feel so..... dirty.... (I need a hug).....

Anyway - the spectators will get a long look at it as we hurtle past... ;-) Wonder where I put me googles

Cheers for all the offers of help to marshal etc.

Looks like we will have plenty of people to rotate duties.

Anyone who thinks they could MC/announce better than me please stand up now........
