Awesome! Have to catch up for some hydration down there.
Seems to be getting later and later in July, more chance of snow...
Anyone planning on camping?
Tokaanu is a good spot to stay if not.

What classes you guys going to run? I'm going Intermediate and Vets, 10 races pheew!

Shit I'm keen. Don't have a modern 450 at the mo...but may drag out an old YZ465 for a hoot!

There's always guys there on all sorts of machinery, bring it out!
A full gate with 40 bikes off the start is a bloody hoot all right!

Oh yeah. I love TT's mate! Never ridden up there, but I'm assuming I'll need some gearing? Maybe 80-90mph worth?

**raglanash** · 19th April 2012, 11:06

I don't know about the speed but a 450 with a 14 48 combo is about right.
Tapped in 5th at the end of the start straight. Hootin!

Yeah well I'm thinking most 5 speed 4 fiddy's will run to around 90mph with std gearing anyway...so if you're gearing 'em up and still tapping out top, you may be getting close to 100mph. Fun.

Yeah baby just done the deal for a new weapon!!!! Ill be there on a 2011 KTM380SX!!!! Yes you read that right....

Awesome. Gizza ride Mr.

**scott411** · 19th April 2012, 11:50

it scares me how fast my 450 goes now, i do not want to gear it up any more, i think 90mph may be pushing it but its prob not that far off, may put full power mode back on for this tho,

bring on the 2t Choppa, its been a while since we rub'd some plastic,

Well a KX500 will do an honest 70mph revving to 7500 in top. No reason a 450 that revs to 11500 won't do 90.
