PBR sprockets prt#2130 (17tooth), Original was 18th.
Ham M/cycles should have them.
Not sure of Jap equivalents.

The last couple of PBR front sprockets I've been through have worn at about twice the rate of the other brands. The twin may be easier on them though.

Hi All

It's pretty late notice, but due to Pampa not being able to come, & the ever-changing capacity of the Rangitaiki Lodge, there is now a twin unit (2 beds) available out there. Call Dianne on 07 384 2800 to book, & say if you'd like to be on the list for dinner also.

The bar will be opening up around 6pm, & dinner will be served around 7:30-8. I'm planning to be there about 6:30.

Cheers
Clint

No worries. Does anybody want Quasi's bed & dinner at the Lodge?

& while I think of it, according to the forecast there may be a spot of rain & a slight breeze here & there on the ride

Given the route we're travelling, this means there is pretty much a 100% chance of there being a slip or a fallen tree or both on the road somewhere. Please keep this in mind & ride safely.

Cheers
Clint

Just thought I would share with you all the predicement I am currently in. I pen this note while sitting in th Qantas Business lounge in Melbourne, throwing back large quantities of alcohol and contemplatinting the next 12 hours of my miserable existance. My flight to Wellington has just been canceled due to a brisk 120kph breeze at Wellie airport. Thus the Dorkland flight landing at 1:30am is looking attractive and has indeed been duely booked.
Wence in the land of JAFA,sleep will be the next priority, however this may consist of an airport bench seat in the terminal building as my flight to Palmy (close to PPram where I live and a safer bet than Wellie airport for obvious reasons) leaves at 8:20am. Taxi fare to PPram from Palmy $300 so have next door neighbour picking me up (Mental note to shout that man a beer) get home pack some undies and a shit load of tools that will not see the light of day during the ride (touch wood), board the the big Ktoom and set the auto pilot on a course for Hastings where my just reward will be given, dinner with a gorgous woman and then up at sparrow fart and meeting you buggers at 9:15 Sat morning on SH5.
Now if that is not commitment I don't know what is?????

PS. hope someone has been watering my vege garden while I have been away!
