Tiger has mph speedo/trip meter, could be a prob with route sheet instructions........

I don't envy you that! Last time I had to convert Kms to miles was for the kaipara 200 and it took about 2 hours!

It was well worth spending the time tho, as I would have been lost without the correct distances.

I've managed to locate Wellington on my desk globe, so I'm fully prepared for this now!

Went to Mitre10 today to get some bolts and found that they have a 300 gram aerosol ABCEF type fire extinguisher for $15. Cant remember the brand name of the top of my head and arent near it but something beginning with P.

Worth checking out if you need one for the CCA.

Possibly this is a bit of a hint......from the entry form.

"Fire extinguishers mandatory- you must carry a small extinguisher to ride in this event."

Good suggestion Ryan, Mitre 10 it is then, I was finding it a bit difficult mounting the monsoon bucket to the DR anyway....

Interesting how that was interpreted... I know cooneyr already knew they were needed, he was saying if you still need to get one (because you don't already own one) for the CCA... rather than are they needed for the ride?

Thanks TA, I shall retire to the back left hand corner of the room and stay there for at least a week.......

Secretly, I blame the lack of appropriate comma's. Surely it can't be my fault?

Indeed, ok, you are excussed.

**cooneyr** · 3rd February 2008, 20:01

I though that made sense given that not many of the Adv riders I know carry a fire extinguisher. Anyway, you must have one so if you don't have one, check out Mitre10.

Is that better Sir? (I's a English deficient engineer).

Suitably chastised jafa slinks back to the rear of the class........

us engineers expect everyone to know what we mean as we make things not write them.

That has more to do with confidence and skill (and maybe the weather) than it does to do with tyre choice.
