Dakar fundraiser ride for Chris Birch

**NordieBoy** · 10th November 2011, 17:26

Donated.

I'd do more but I'm already in the Riff Raff.

**buggsubique** · 10th November 2011, 18:43

Yep, me too, would like to have donated more but gotta get work done on the old Africa Twin! Will be following for sure.

Always good to see a Kiwi name on the leader board. Will be in for the ride

**vegeman** · 10th November 2011, 19:53

nice work on the website, ya gotta give this guys some bucks...he's darn good on the machine... the vid's on his site are great and almost seem worth paying for. Defineitely seems like a good kiwi bloke that we should support.

watching some of the footage...makes me want to get a lighter MX style machine again, as man handling the big thumper just isn't the same as throwing a 250 around...BUT, bench racing with a bourbon in my hand makes everything seem doable

Thanks so much for your support guys it really is appreciated and is helping greatly with the pre event "oh god how am I going to pay for that!" dramas that have been plauging me of late.

I wil do my best to make sure that the money is spent wisely, you guys have helped me to get to Argentina and Ill get myself to Peru in one piece!

Good luck man. Just fired through $100 to the paypal thingy.

Matt (from the Superbike School).

**vegeman** · 12th November 2011, 20:29

I checked my paypal account, and saw that I had $35 in there.- yay..so it's now on its way to the birchy fund...while it never seems enough, every bit helps... :-)

get sum!

Do you want the guys & gals coming on the ride to do the payments via paypal or do you want us to bring some cash on the day?

...and a bump back to the firstpage.

And another bump, I don't know if Chris has space for any more but my email today makes this sound like a ride not to be missed...... I also need people capable of lifting my bike off me as required!

New rear tyre, bike serviced, me fit, what more can I need?

New rear tyre, does a 8000km old e-07 count?
bike serviced, CHECK
I think that means I am ready.

I do need to pop to a cash machine and get some funds to help Chris on his way.

I recall some mention of clay tracks.... not that there has been a lot of rain so far!

Having said that, my new rear seems impregnated with slippery stuff, I'm suffering lurid slides on any sort of damp road surface, it better be better in muddy bits.

I can't afford a new tire and a donation, so donation it is.
I will just endure some hardship (read fun-times) in solidarity of Chris' effort at Dakar.
