King Country ADV Ride 2010

[.chris]

Only likely place to meeet would be in PioPio at lunch time @ 12.00.

Rest of time will be in the middle of nowhere until we hit Taumarunui

Cheers Mark, I figured PioPio would be a through point, sounds like meeting you guys there around lunchtime could be the plan for me.
I will probably come down via Waitomo Valley Rd/Waipuna Rd so I don't die of SH boredom before I get there.

How many km's are you looking at after PioPio?

I'l have to meet you Piopio too Mark as my young fellas first rugby game of the seasons at 9:00, so i'l B line it straight to Piopio and wait for use there.

Brents puta is on the frizz again, so who evers meeting at 2whatas can you flick him a txt or pm me and i'l pass the info on.

cheers
Dino

I'm out. Can't get a new clutch cable until next week. They're having to get one in from Japan. The DR650 must be one of the most popular bikes around, and no clutch cables in the whole country ?

Looks like the house sale is going to happen sooner than we expected also, so should spend some time around here sorting this place out.

Yeah, but I'd always be thinking 'what if it lets go', when I'm miles from anywhere.

Have you rung around? I'm very sceptical of stock control systems. especially ones that supposedly check other stores. Ring Wellington motorcycles or the Suzuki Dealer (Boyds?) in Hamilton and ask them directly.

There's 2nd hand ones just lying around on spare bikes down here.

In other news, cush drive rubbers are $84NZ a set

Okay, Marks, Stormtrooper & I intend to ride up to Taumaranui this Friday morning, leaving the Waikanae coffee cart SH1 at 8.00am. We are looking to stage an attack on the 42nd Friday afternoon (before any other riff-raff spoil it). Ride up via Fielding, peep-o-day, Taihape. Any one want to hook up on the way please let me know.

Thanks, but I doubt it would get here plus fitted, before Friday.

It'd be interesting to see if they have one on the shelf though.

There'll be other rides. I've got more fun things to do anyway, like wallpapering, and painting. Much more fun then riding stinky motorbikes through some of the most awesomest scenery around. Who wants to waste a perfectly good weekend riding bikes anyway. Dumb idea.

overnight courier

[Eddieb]

Yep, if you can get one overnight then plenty of time to fit it.

I will ask. Does the year matter? Or are they mostly all the same? Will post again late morning
