The CT is the stealth bomber of sbc motorcycles , It would get straight through under the radar ,no worries jatz

Better get my A into G and STG then and decide what I'm doin then. Is the SBC run over the old course or the southern course ?

Could you see the mighty CT making it through Blenhiem with out drawing attention to it self Nordie ? I could chuck some more chook netting in the muffler to try quieten it down a bit

I've got a 2" race core SuperTrapp that'd work nicely.

Quiet as a quiet thing...

No really


Yes Sir it is a DR750. Says so on the sidecover. Would I lie to you?

New course.

But...
We'll have to run the old course as a 2-dayer sometime for those who never got the chance to do it and if the littlies have proven themselves and got little gold stars on their hands well... Be a shame not to include them too

Right. Big and Tenere combo it is then.
The gas to trailer the CT there and back would be worth more than the bike

There will definitely be a 2 day ride. Part of the scoping ride will be to find a place for the two day riders to lay up. Quite a bit of the route is around 1000m and there are about 5 distinguishable climbs - Danseys Pass, Dunstan Saddle (twice), the saddle just east of Garston, Omarama Saddle and Monteys Saddle. None of these saddles/passes are not much above 1000m.

There is a Backpackers and a Fishing Lodge at Garston, that's about 1/2 way.......

Umm Garston is about the 700km mark. Bit to far I think. Somewhere between Millers Flat and Alex would be the best place.

For all you keen (and I use this word on purpose) contenders who'll be riding small-engined road bikes in the SBC and whose machines of choice have 18-inch wheels, I was in Pit Lane (Cycletreads) in Chch a couple of days ago and they'll supply (and fit to wheels brought in) 2.75 x 18 Duro knobblies for $89 each.

If you're not familiar with that highly respected brand I'm not surprised, but they're produced in Taiwan, a country with many bikes suitable for taking on the DB1k challenge.

Thanks for the info RD.

I've found the perfect bike for those that are feeling a little challanged by this event. Tardeme

If you have got it in town I might have a look at it.

Bringing KDX back tonight. Text me when you want to have a look at it.

Did a bit of work on 'Dorris' (her new name)in the weekend. Put in a new base gasket(since it didn't have one) and head gasket. Doesn't bleed oil anymore, success! New bridgestone TW12 on the front and claimed some plastic sheet from a mates work to make a rally screen.
Also managed to bend the handle bars trying to do wheelies so new ones needed.
Other than a couple of alterations and tuning it's time for some test runs

I was down at Street and Sport in Chch today looking at stuff, next door at the tyre shop there is a CT110 for sale if anyone is looking for a steed for this event. From memory it was 1200 ono.......

What kind of pikey assembles a motor without any base gasket? I would have at least filled the void with RTV. If you want some bars and you want to keep the budget down, I have the stock bars off the TT which you can have for cheap. PM me if interested.

Was $1500, but alas no reg or WOF as per earlier posts....

Missed out on a fixed price offer on a GP100 in Rottenrua which would have been ideal. Sod it! A few interesting ones on Tardme at the moment though... like this.

Hey,
there was a little goop on it but not much. Didn't do much in the way of sealing it!
Have PM'd you about the bars.
