we may or may not follow the same route but will probably be around the area.

I am liking this but a few of my own details will have to fall into place first. How much does a decent two man tent cost?

Street Races are on at Paeroa on the 17th Feb, so will be cruising around on that weekend.

Got a spare one you can use Sarge

**DMNTD:Me** · 3rd January 2008, 08:08

Will come for a leisurely pootle if we're not doing anything mate.
No doubt a few more contenders from up this way might be keen too

**chanceyy** · 3rd January 2008, 08:08

Went on a hunt last night and you can get some quite nice kit for around the $200 and a bit mark but i'll definitely one eye on that offer mate, cheers.

Thought it would'nt be a bad idea to have a small tent, started looking at those Mac Pac tents coz I know they are supposed to be the shit but they are around the $450 plus mark and quite honestly too high a spec for the kind of thing I would want it for.

Not fair, take both bikes. I wanna have a look at the "R" close up.

Hmm 2 sleeps away form the comfort and security of home. Will probably travel a bit heavier than the last trip if I decide to see you guys off. Last time I forgot to pack the wet weather suit. Do they have a Warehouse up there incase I need a change of undies?
