I am very dissapointed to hear that Steve Bennett wont be attending this Taumarunui bucket event, even though he was the one to organise everything.

Whats going on Steve???

See everyone else there Friday night or saturday morning...

Sorry... very sorry. Flat out at work this week doing a refit, too many things to do at home, need to spend time with the kids, car to fix for WOF etc etc... one day i will make it back there. I hope Ryan will take the chance to ride my bike around.

Bugger, was hoping to catch up mr Bennet, another case of work getting in the way of life.

Didnt help Steve last time. In fact he got beaten so bad that he decided that we would go hide and sulk (sp?) underneath the bottle bayels off the sweeper down by the river

is this after trying to ride the bike upside down

I think that was the first time. He only went hiding the second time if memory seves me correct

Yeah Googlemap it, pretty much you turn right down that road SH41 before you get to Taumarunui & follow that for 4 min, if it were light on teh left over the creek you may glimpse the track & be on the lookout to see the side road which is more a driveway. Once you are on the drive you turn left over some gnarly cattle stops, gate often open then down a rocky paddock road & that will take you there in ~ 1min. Cell coverage is patchy but should be ok to call someone to get you if you can't find the turn off.

Everyone had an awesome weekend thanks too PMCC and all the organisers. It was hot and the track real sticky. We saw amazing racing from our top riders and some close racing from others everywhere on the track.
Someone was going really well and giving Tim Fraser a run for his money, then decided to bin it!!!!!! Who was that?
A few of the locals came out to see the racing and were very impressed with the standard of the racing.
Overall a real success.
Pumba, Steve didn't have a sulk and a lay down this time, but he did manage to loose 3rd gear on the RX. Hopefully we can get it ready for next weekend.
