    The challenge with me will be hanging on to all the pieces that fall off the bike.

    We all know you have to be going downhill, flat on the tank with a tailwind to do that 100km/hr

    I was sitting on the pillion seat with my chin on the handlebars (I was also about 500 RMP off the redline too!)

    As stated in first post: PM Myself and Fireball to apply to bring bigger bikes.
    Did you hear that?
    The sound of a pin drop as it sinks in that someone just called a GN a bigger bike.

    It has been acknowledged that some students etc will not be able to buy a bike exclusive to the challenge and where it would not defeat the purpose of the challenge (to show that all bikes can be fun regardless of size) exemptions will be given.

    If funding for the trip is required get some personal sponsors, parents are good when they see you out doing something constructive such as fund raising.

    Just floating an idea here, but why not seek sponsors for individual bikes.
    sponsor can put whatever signwriting they are willing to pay for on the bikes in exchange for a donation to the cause.

    Discuss.

    High Vis Vests

    If anybody wants their own brand new high vis vest (transit approved for highway use day/night, to nz & aus standards etc etc) I can help out at $15 a pop... These are not cheapie ones either. Flick me a PM if you are interested. Closer to the time is fine or if you'd like one now, no worries.
    Sizes on hand are M-2XL (if other sizes req I can get these also)

    pants avail too... navy with reflective strips by ankles, waterproof $90 (not as a substitute for approriate riding gear but to go over riding pants)

    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.
