The guy is no longer at Tuam St, but he is still trading.

Email him to see if he has what you need.

He has containers/sheds full of stuff apparently.

I'll meet you somewhere along the way again like last time ...

Pete I imagine we will be Governors Bayish 13.45 to 14.00ish

BK, Dyers, Gebbies, Rittle Liver for refreshments, Western Valley Rd, to where ever??????

This will not be a race!!!!!!!!!

If you want to see how fast you can go, try that at Ruapuna. It's safer there, with no traffic coming the other way and better road surfaces.

This is a chance for those riders who want to gain some experience with gravel. All are welcome, particularly newer riders.

Most of the ride is on very good roads.

There is a stretch of gravel, which you do not have to do if you choose not to. The choice will be yours if you wish turn back and someone will acompany you if you want.

One of the riders has a Honda GL145 and he has had a lot of fun with no problems. So your bike should be more than adequate for the job

But fine, am working on it. Most of the footage is crap 'cause of all the bouncing 'round in the wind so I don't have much to work with ...

Of course not me dear! How was the footage on the way back!?

Well if it helps, I often have a spare seat or two.

Yes thanks GP, I was using all 74hp and Tom went past me like I was standing still.

I have had the spokes all replaced on the back wheel on the old shitter and we are back on the road. I went for a ride without a spare but the bike needs the ballast.

That sucks, whose fault was it? (If you remember it that is)

That sounds pretty painful!

The was back was fine, it was the first half that is pretty much useless 'cause of all the shaking. Makes me feel a little sea sick watching too much of it.

Oh, Cruza, video is being compressed as we speak.

Happy? Huh? Well Are ya, punk?
