    As much as riding up to auckland and then to reianga and back sound like alot of fun and an awesome challenge I think, yes a local version would probably be more realistic to start with.

    wait, so i could just pay $70 and have a legal pocket rocket (under 50cc and 2.2KW) without any lights whatsoever?

    why don't we all meet in the middle? like a mission to the ruapehu ski-field carparks?

    sounds like a mint idea to me as i doubt a pocket rocket would handle the beach/mud very well

    the requirement is road legal.
    at this stage still just looking at numbers and its looking good to be a goer'
    hey RM just drop the gearing a bit that will make it slower
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    Well, they are supposed to be of WoF standard. And WoF or no WoF you must have lights at night. So a cop would certainly pull you up. But there are vintage bikes that have a WoF and no lights (never had them, being old)

    You can register it OK, there's no compliance on a moped. And you don't need a WoF.

    But- a cop can order it off the road as unsafe. And doubtless would. And insurance would be right out.

    hrmm, well insurance isn't an issue, but police is... reckon they would pick on me even if i'm in a group of other bikes? bah i doubt the thing would make it out of auckland anyway

    Sounds like this might be thunder birds go!

    Ok, so the basics, we have enough attendance.
    Who do we want to try and raise some money for?
    I would prefer it was an obscure charity. It would be a pitiful amount for say Red Cross but would mean a lot to a smaller charity.

    When is good for every one?
    Do some of you need time to locate and prep a bike?

    Do we have any volunteers to provide sweep, medical or mechanical assistance?
    Do we have any volunteers to help with the organising?

    Do we have any suggestions for activities along the way?
    Do we have any bike related donations to give away as prizes?

    Do we have any recommendations about a motor camp to stay at, preferably with cabins or caravans or even an old barn or hanger at around the 3/4 mark? (Planning to go up Friday stay the night somewhere and then "summit" on Saturday return to site, have a good time and then head back Sunday)

    Any other miscilaneous business?

    Any time!

    I can do sweep and got my basic first aid cert.
    Sorry, but orgininsing ain't my strong point.

    Caravan park sounds cool, I'm happy to bring my tent.

    How about a tent camp beside the light house?

    P.S. Sorry, I can't afford another bike but I really want to participate this event. I'll ride my FXR (not cheating am I?)

    I'll be just a photographer through out the trip

    hey big dog got myself sorted
    you know ill be organizing this with you!
    and have put alot of thought of who to donate to
    two places pick one? they are outward bound (they did alot for me when i was there nice to give them something back) or
    spirit of adventure.
    dunno that is my thoughts on it both are trusts and dont tend to do fundraising drives and they shape young and old
    what can i say im a sucker for the outdoors and ABL!
    once we get a proposal done and printed up i can go around the bike shops and see what i can do (show some cleavage, smile sweetly you never know)

    also write some letters to some big wig companies i know a guy who knows a guy etc etc...

    i am yet to get a ride but have one sponsor already!

    so lets get this puppy on the road!

    can accommodate a few bikers on my lawn/floor and couches and space for bikes so thats not a problem before we go

    BOOK YOUR SPACE NOW!!!!
