Do it on the tiger! There were plenty of guys having a crack at the challenge sections on big bikes last time. I'll be there on the S10 and i'm sure my bro cooneyr will be doing them on his 950.

Big bike just add to the challenge, greater sense of achievement when you complete them. Also massive dissapointment(anger/swearing/yelling abuse) when you lay them down and smash your plastics. Good motivation to keep them upright

Cant wait

Last year we did it on 2 Dr650s Qkchk and Qkkid that is.
This coming year we are going to be doing it on 2 Yamaha Tricker 250cc machines.

Such a well organised and awesome event would not miss it

Excellent, I've been waiting for this announcement. A GPS route would be neat, but so would scans of the route sheets. It would give me more time to do a better job on the seems.

I'd still be happy to turn up on the Friday. Maybe I can hitch a ride on Vege's trailer, cause my T63 are getting pretty bald now.

Bottom line, I am just glad it's on :-).

Umm - the hard word has been put on. Latest scan showing baby due the 5 April and my wife, as a first time mum, is digging her toes in. You will probably be on your own bro! Woe is me, its begun, my motorcycling life is over

Must be some way I can shirk my fatherly responsibilities and escape for a weekend!!

Don't worry - in 20 odd years you'll have your freedom back.

And its more fun second time around

the only downside is you'll be old and fucked

No problem R, my wifes a midwife, I'll steal some of her stationery and give you an official note. How long do you need out and do you and exemption from nappies and night feeding for the first year as well?

Mine came 1 week early, I imagine two weeks early isn't that uncommon either.
Not supprised you've had the brakes applied.

I'm trying not to laugh too loud here.

Could just as easily be late.

LOL. Sleep deprivation has already started. Time to get my own bed. My mother is a retired midwife who teaches antinatel classes at Chch Womans. Our midwife gets a bit cagey when I turn up.

Could be early could be late - who knows. Dont laught too loud ya basted - we all knew this was comming at some point.

Just hoping the baby (boy or girl) is as good on two wheels as it's two year old first cousin. I'll have it on a PW50 on its second birthday if it is

Cheers R
