It'd be a cool ride over to look at it...
Its got a decent base but if the water is brown then difficult to tell how deep.
You can get up it with no run up though so pushing the bike through the water is an option...
I'm up for it...

Yeah I was being silly. Might go out tomm if the rain stops. Might try & get in thru Linton hill & have a cruise.

Jenni says you're a wuss.
You got knobblies for the snot beast?
Shanes got a pile of ex-race tyres that you can choose from inc some Michilin S12's I think.
He's trying to remove any excuses people have to not go to Tap next weekend...

Yep got a brand shiny (really!!)new KiwiX however at the mo I will be babysitting so prob won't make it. I'm keen for it but will have to see.
BTW you are right it is at Kinzett Creek not Matariki so don't feel too bad.

What time tomorrow?
rain isn't too much of an issue cos its uncannily warm eh?
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
Where's the ride?
I've got a choice of well-worn Metzeler MC4 (soft terrain like S12) or the once-used Michelin MH3 int-hard copy. Kinzett could be a real slick clay-fest, so without a decent tyre me & the 640 won't be going anywhere fast. I'm thinking I'll be a starter but may just spend 3 hours getting some practice at muddy hill climbs.
A worn S12 will probably be the best bet on the day.
Lovely weather for ducks.

I can't wait to try the trials tyre on a cross country. But Kinzett Creek is not an ideal area to test this...

How about tomorrow 1pm unless its really really shitty like it was this morning.
I'm putting on the GPS & wiring a 12volt outlet on the snotmonster today as well as trying to sort out a fuel drip out of one of the five- yes count them- Five clear vent pipes running from the carb.
Lee says there should be a screw at the bottom you can undo that'll let fuel piss out of the bowl & a good few knocks should unstick the float. I haven't found the screw yet but haven't investigated properly.
Gotta take the LHS fork of the KLR & replace a bloody fork seal too.

Sounds good to me. But be gentle with me, I am out of practice and will be on a big bike.
Three days off yay, but if you want I can make a special trip all the way to Mot to have a look for stickers for you if you really really want me too.

Sounds good to me. At the rock wall? or meet somewhere with a roof?

That's the problem. Trials tyres don't like mud and just about every course has enough patches of mud that it could be a showstopper.

Farm based x-countries wouldn't suit them but Hira would be purrrrfeckt...That's the problem. Trials tyres don't like mud and just about every course has enough patches of mud that it could be a showstopper.
I don't think I could have got back up the DH track at all with a knobbly and the trials tyre did no damage and wasn't spitting anything out the back...
Tried to get a Vee Rubber VRM 308 and Pirelli MT43 (both about $150) and they're both out of stock. The IRC is $$$ and the Hidenau is $200...
