People love that kind of shit.
    All you need is a place to stage it.
    I'm sure fonterra would come on board with the milk & you could get sponsors.
    There's a lot more to be made out of it that way than just flicking it off for cost price.
    That might work. Get a radio station behind it to promote. If it were for some cause, you could at least recoup costs and give the rest away. At least that way nothing is lost.

    Sadly, I need the money back now. As I helped a person I thought was a friend a month or so ago with some other spare money I had, and that so called friend has NOT returned the cash to me. The bike I was having built in hastings, has turned to shit big time, costing another Huge loss for me with jack shit $ to my name, so it just has to go now. I want some money back in the till to take my girls on a summer holiday some where for a change for them, they deserve it big time, after living with me day in and out.

    It's worthless man. Sell it individually, or organise an event around it, or be left holding expired goods that owe you nearly 3k. These are the options as it stands.

    You might be able to clear some smaller lots if you make contact with churches, schools, scouts etc. They tend to buy in 10kg lots any way.

    World record attempt I say. You can get everyone signed up & paid long before you ever get the milo wet. You can't lose.
    You could run it at cold kiwi if they gave you their blessing.
    I'm in for ten entries for me & my homies to get you started.

    It does state Expire date! But we all know it would still be fine, but 1st one to expire is not till June 2016, so no stress really.

    I could never watch the warmup lap - he simply rode it sideways. Best fun of the day he reckoned. Mad, quite mad...
    yip, i prepared a bike for him at the isle of man, asked if he wanted me to sand it on the edges and he said not to, it would be scrubbed in by Bradden Bridge, didn't use any cleaner, wasn't asked to or if i had done either. he'd got second on the supermono duke in the morning with race shift gear change, rode to ninth in the 600 class on a stock standard bike with a steering damper added, on normal road shift pattern in the arvo, jason mcewen was 13th on same machine, first trip to iom
