    Hey not fair we want in, to exclude us would be totally unjust. Oh but wait til I tell grandma wobbler she's excluded. Nuf said.

    Seems to me an open 1 male 1 female per team is going to make a good competition !! is this a separate race or within the 2 hour ?

    Why do you suggest a bike / transponder swap after 10 laps. I don't get it ? ( Remember I am a hick from Taumarunui )

    You could lower the standards even further and open it to any 2 people that are prepared to pash it up in front of everyone.

    Hmm, that might not actually work because I'm sure some homo's are likely to put that to the test. Added to that I'm pretty sure married couples don't kiss either...

    Steve, I figure you and wobbler would be in. Didn't want to make it one male one female since this was basically dreamt up as a way to encourage more of the wives and girlfriends to have a go in a low pressure format, not an exercise in who can find the fastest ring in, figure there won't be all that many entries so not too much stress.
    The whole one gender starts idea was to reduce the intimidation factor again, the ladies are quite a bit more polite when it comes to passing maneuvers and the like as a rule. The bike / transponder swap is so that we get one set of results for each couple but doesn't mean that they necessarily have to ride the same bike if they have one each and want to send one out on a bike they are comfortable on and the other on a bike they think they'll be faster on. Having ridden more than one class in a day I figure a rider change is going to be faster than a transponder switch so some strategy may come into it.

    The intention is that this a low key, stand alone race, either on the Saturday in conjunction with the first NI round or Sunday before the two hour.

    Open to suggestions on any of the above, there are a couple of potential father daughter teams I can think of, only one of which is likely to be a clear favourite for the win.

    You're angling for a pash with Koba aren't you.

    Right, rule change on Grandma Wobblers behalf, marriage licenses required. Put your money where your mouth is Steve.

    classes within the class...
    -genuine married couples
    -genuine 2-year plus defactos
    -engaged couples (with party invites)
    -any man/men who will kiss Koba
    -civil unions with wild animals
    -father-daughter teams (excluding any international riders)
    -mother-son teams (as above)

    that should provide a good placing for all.

    Grandmas all excited now, not sure if it's the race, or the fact she might be getting married..... Probably the racing.

    Anyway wotever rules you fellas want to dream up. We're in. We have a pre race fitness training program set to go ..... (but we haven't started yet). The Mongrel (bike) has had an oil change, and a strategy plan is in place.

    Can someone organise some good weather cos we don't have any wets yet
