Cold Kiwi 2007 hype thread

[xgnr]

At the risk of being called a geek (yeah go on I dare ya)

I created a Google earth (.kmz) file of where i think the location is (6 k west of Waiouru on the Ohakune rd).

So I have uploaded the file... no idea if it is correct or not.

Cheers

Oh God Stu your SUCH a geek

Na nice one dude, that google earth is a lot of fun. Was checking out my mum & her new hubbies house in London the other day, they were showing me round their neighbourhood, pretty damned cool


Don't think im gunna make this one, me physio said it wasn't a good idea to ride that far, especially after the mammoth ride I did a couple of weeks ago (over 500km's in 6 hours) as im still sore from that one.

But in saying that I might just ignore it, see how I feel Saturday morning

Sorry for sounding horribly girly here but... is there any where I can plug in a hair straightener?

Story cut short: Long curly hair + spur of the moment decision at hair dressers + shortest cut I've ever had = not good

Oh Jas.... You make it far to easy for me!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[tomtyer-drake]

Guys - I have been in Waiouru all week, up here teaching soldiers about Exchange Server. It is has been raining on and off all week, the ground is pretty wet. So make sure you have good ground cover inside your tent and probably something to put your side-stand on before it sinks gracefully in to the ground.

hehe, could be quite a laugh spotting the newbies (while i try to act like i know what im doing)

[Coldrider]

and probably something to put your side-stand on before it sinks gracefully in to the ground.

And a piece of timber about 350mm long to ram under the swingarm from the ground to support the motorcycle from the otherside helps too, incase the wind pops up, or people getting too close.

KTM is all packed..........

Have also organised the bacon
