    Not sure if I can make it to the 6hr tho I'd love to give it a go...
    We have a warehouse like green white striped gazebo - not really orange or heavy duty but if you get nothing else you're welcome to it.

    Sorry. have a date with some scallops in golden bay.
    Could lend you some Castrol Racing directors chairs for the pit crew to sit on to give it that professional sponsored look.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    1/4 turn? Surely a simple on/off switch would suffice?

    I hope there is a bit more emphasis on adv/off-road this year.
    Was disappointed that it was 95% road bikes last year.....

    For me 1/4 turn is an on/off switch.

    The 200 has a 1/4 and it's too much (I thought it was 1/2 before I checked). The second half need not be there, ie I only feather 0-50% then jump to 100%. Might need to investigate a cammed throttle that's only 1/8 turn.

    10am-4pm IIRC.

    Idiot

    I'm very tempted by a TM40 but tweaking the rear suspension is going to come first.
