    Why wasn't this discussed months ago when I was in Auckland. I could have brought my 1998 bike with a 1978 engine along "Technologically, it's a classic, technically it's not"

    There is also the issue of petrol for the thirsty beast.

    An important point. A lot of classics will be two strokes. They need FREQUENT fuel stations. Preferably with good stocks of two stroke oil. Does anyone have a petrol tanker they could bring along.

    Well, that's all well and good, but 22 litres isn't going to go far with a bunch of bikes doing 10 kilometres per litre, is it ?

    Hey everyone, There have been a few people who are more keen for a shorter distance ride, so I'm suggesting we just head down to Kaiaua this Saturday. Lets meet up at 9:00am at the BP on the corner of Chapel Rd and Ti Rakau Drive

    Is everyone still in? I'll update the first page.
