Metzeler Elephant Run to Taupo racetrack 2004

[White trash]

I'd be keen to pop up. That's quite a bit of riding for one day though eh?! Especially for people that are going on the track as well. Sounds good though. See you all up there! (Unless it's real crap weather )

Jimmy - do I just come and pick up a ticket or something from Wgtn MC's?

Nup. You just turn up at work at 7:00am on the Sunday morning. Everyone will be given a ride plan and we leave at 7:15 sharp.

It's not going to be a race but it wont be a stop every five minutes type ride either. You'll keep up no worries.

But Jimbo said something about going in to register and get a raffle ticket? I guess that's just on the day then.

No ticket required - just have to "sign on" when you get to the destination to make sure you are in the prize draws. Anyone wnting to go on the track for a ride, it is being organised by he race meeting promoter, track open from 12 till 1pm, and cost indication is $20. He reserves the right to limit numbers on the track at any one time, so it could be a case of first in gets the rides.
See you all there - and good luck on wining some awesome Metzeler tyres or other stuff!

Heh heh - I just went out to the garage and found a completely, completely flat tyre! What a surprise eh. Must have got a puncture as I came home last night (it did start feeling that way a couple of ks up the road). It'll be sorted by tomorrow avo but new tyres are always helpful - especially for us Uni folk with "student slicks". At least I got my money's worth out of it and used it till death did us part.

It's a 140/70 17 but I've just ordered in a new one for tomorrow am. Thanks though. Are they pretty usuable old tyres?

[RiderInBlack]

TUMONZ is right. After the raglan turn off there is about 3 parts of metal, it is not un-ridable. But have to keep it slow and steady, I have rode thru it on the VTR250 with a GSX250. And I have only 3 good months of riding experience so its passable. but do u want to go that way?

Not if it's metal (enough of that with the road works ). OK somebody suggest the Ak to Ngaruawhia bit (quick). I'm thinking of doing a trail run of the AK to Taupo Track this weekend if any are keen (Doug Ph/Txt 027 4534350). "Roxanne" is itching for a ride this weekend

A mate and I will be taking the long way to Taupo - leaving Friday. Taking the day off and heading there via Coromandel, Whangamata, Whakatane and Rotorua. Just so happened we had this ride planned a while ago. Being a couple of "Miss Daisy" type riders we need 2 days to get there.

Look forward to it heaps.

See you there, one and all.

nice, but I wont be able to tag along. The VTR250 is in the shop trying to fetch a good price before being traded in, I wish someone would buy my VTR250 :P However I should be heading down next friday to just before taupo and then to wanganui to pickup my SV, so perhaps can report back on thee state of those roads?
