Speaking of cool tools I just added a post there about Tims tool for proping up the bike for chain lube/wheel removal on track.
There are here... http://www.endurostar.com/index.htm

First post has a video then jump to post 71 for more details from our man, then check out the last pages to see what's left.

As soon as I saw the You Tube Clip, I had to have one! Got the last one he has made up. Can't wait to try it on my new 17" E09

Anyone fancy another ride this Saturday? Weather looks ok at this stage! Perhaps another Banks Pen adventure?...

I'd be keen, not sure of the names of all this (pig saddle?) so may or may not know what your talking about for after lunch.

I actually think Darfield has better pies and I want to call in on Don at Pit Lane so may bail out at the Darfield exit then catch back up if I have a quick lunch stop (quick, yea right

)

Mrs JATZ is heading Akaroa direction next weekend.

Yeah sweet - gives us more time to chow down on pies ........

Pig Saddle - one end of it is where the tar seal ends past whitecliffs (just up road from glentunnel) - comes out back-end of Sheffield if I recall - decades ago since I use to rally old ladies 1800 in the wee hours with few mates onboard

Either way as most probably know it nice rolling country in those parts - have a bit of an explore ......

There's a engineer guy I know with a BMW who's put up a notice asking if any other stuff are interested in adventure riding.

Is there someone who's willing to give up their name and number and I can pass it along (or I can ask him the same)

Can't he just read the thread?
I'll pm you my number but I prefer to do stuff via the forum mostly or email sometimes.

Yes we know about Starvation Gully, it's a steep gravel/dirt road with a few sharp bends and at the end you have to turn around and leave the way you came. It climbs out of Pigeon Bay.
The whole Peninsular is a nice ride.

Only you could answer that question, you'll probably have to bring it out and have a go to discover the answer, so see you there... Belfast, The Peg Hotel carpark - at 10am Saturday 10:20 depart they say.
