Well God gave us plastic .

Anyway with this present weather pattern, can we expect pea gravel everywhere interesting. We are planning on goin down to Bluff after the rally then over to the Rainforest side. The usual must do's are crayfish, gold panning n over Takaka for the elusive salmon at Anatoki. Only got 10 days, unless the panning produces nuggets. So can avoid the risky stuff, time wise if we have to.

Sounds like a brilliant trip regardless of time.

Watch the likes of sea legs they can leave you very drousy for quite a few hours, according to Mythbusters ginger (pills) is just about as good and non drousy.

Dont drink coffee tee or fruitjuice.
Dont have an empty stomach.
But not full with fat and greasy things either.
Bit of bisquits or toast are good.
fresh air helps.
Is only an hour and half across strait itself....
sounds are always flat.

and or drink more find a bloke shag him senseless... kick him out in the morning and you will be right...

There's only one bloke that I have continually be shagging totally senseless at a rally, ain't that right Mr. Boud......but sadly he's not going this year,

so won't be indulging in anything than charming every dude in sight...

Can't wait for this one, all fuck all those folk who say they want it to snow and take photos of their bikes in the rain......what friggin planet are they on.

I don't want to put my life at risk or that of Tex's, for the sake of looking like some Tarzan wannabee.....(as me Jan...e!)

Nice clear day with temperatures of +10 degs, would be nice, slightly cloudy with intervals of sunshine.......and no slidy stuff.....that'll do for me......

And if you want a friggin picture of your bike in the snow wait till the snows outside your door and wheel your bike in it......

Brrrr me and my bike don't like the slidey stuff. got some grip warmers now, so that'll look weird when I end up sitting on my handlebars on the way in....

Where is everyone planning to camp?

Laters Dudes and Dudess's, see ya there

Let there be

Getting ready leaving wed morning, just acclimatising in Vegas. Tickets haven't arrived yet. Two days of postage left to get them. So if we leave without the tickets how can we bluff our way in the gate.

Or one of you bastards blotted our reputation to the organisers
