I might have a place to stash it in Wellington. From here I can get it on the boat one way or another. (Smiles at the thought of leaving some of Kai's rear tyre on the loading ramp.

lol.. just farted in the office.. stinks so bad. fuck I hope no one comes in here for a while.

Sweet, well a bloody good man from here on KB is gonna lend me his trailer for a few days to tow the bike around

I think I can use it from 25th - 29/30th I think. I guess what I can do (if you find a place to stash it in wellies til ferry time) is drop it off to wellington right after wangas races. and then back to tga from welly after that! what a road trip haha.

Then yea, will sus out picking it up from picton lol.. phew.. gonna be doing a lot of driving!

mm might take the rear tyre off the rim

its gotta last me first 2 national rounds and maybe more

It would almost be worth the fine to get pics of the AGIP sidecar doing a burnout on the ferry......
Actually, I'll pay the fine.... I want pics!!

lol why is everyone thrashing out my bike! that motor is seriously not that great, lets try not blow it up eh fellas - I don't have a spare or cash for replacement!! (tyre or motor)

edit: but if it must happen then yes there must be professional photography and video footage, and if you could have a crowd of people cheering etc.. maybe get some of the ferry crew around in their uniforms giving the thumbs up..

So, you're only worried that I might not do a proper job of it?

Hehehehehe, I know several pro photographers. A very good mate's wife used to work at TV3, so if I play my cards right I can get a real camera man there too. Know a dude who works on the Interislander too come to think of it.

Scrivy, take a spare rear tyre to Wangas will ya? Lads gonna need something to wrap around the rim when I'm done!

lol.. nah I'd prefer it was left alone actually. When that motor blows its game over for a while.. I'd like to be the one to blow it up myself..

and as for the tyres, I can't afford new ones at the mo! so gotta get some more miles out of em yet haha..

anyone who wants to give me new ones is welcome to, Kick already has (bless him) but now you fellas are doing burnouts with it!

haha.. just plotting my driving route for wangas... what a road trip I'm gonna have to be drunk for most of it..

haha.. sadly yes, the original plan fell through. But everyone has done plenty to help for the BSTT and after with the repairs etc.

I have been offered a trailer thanks to a KB solo racer/member which I can pinch for a few days.

Drew may have a place to stash it in Welly, I can drive to Welly after Wangas and drop bike off.. and then yea will pick it up at the other end somehow, Would prob have to be 3rd Jan - I fly in to chch 11.30am 3rd Jan.. could drive straight up to Picton and back to make practice/qual on the 4th.. Phew! Or miss qual/prac and just pick it up on that day.. still not a perfect or well thought out plan but its something..

So there is some hope yet that I will make it to Nats. Biketranz also hasn't said no 100% yet but said they can only confirm like on the week of Wangas so pretty short notice.

What the fuck drugs are you on? some of us got our chequebooks out to get him to the BSTT & also organised to have the broken bike repaired at a moments notice & transported it from said repair site to his parents home via my place, several hundred kays.
There was then the promise that he would do Wanganui, but at no point did anyone ever promise to transport it there, or return it to the south.
If you wanna stump up to do it, go right ahead like I did.
Why the fuck do I waste my time & money to get criticised?
Frankly, id rather go to Phillip isl with Jay & Fiji with Tracey than do the south Nats this year, but were doing it so you guys get a race.

Yeep, I'm sure it was a friendly jabbing.. No offence meant, I had a ball at the BSTT and thanks to everyone that helped me along the way to get there etc

It's all good! I'm looking forward to Wangas and will see what happens after it. I'm easy! happy have a race when I can..

This sidecar racing looks like the sport to get into, what a great bunch of guys they lend out there bikes to other people,open there wallets to pay for others racing.

I heard "drugs". Where, who, how, and when?

Can I have some of those appetite suppressors? Last night was my first ever ''workout', and if I can find another way to lose weight I'd just as soon never workout again.

It looked remarkably like a jab because the north hadnt quite been charitable enough yet.
It never even occured to me to send it back south smashed up until just now, my bad.
Never mind. as you were.
