Meanie's Excellent Adventure (22 February)

[slydesigns]

Lis's ZXR is back from the Plastic welding artists at Wanganui Plastic repairs, Thanks Vaughn! And no it wasn't dropped, just needing some attention.
My front end has been returned ready to rock.

All good so far.

Ill bet it took some convincing

[slydesigns]

Radios claiming something ludicris like the upper and central North Island will be covered in rain from Friday to Sunday... opinions?

[cowboyz]

i think they are full of it. metservice doesnt look bad at all. few showers

[Meanie]

Weather looks resonable at this stage

Typical zooki rider sponging off mates.P/T.Epitomy of mine host.
Great idea though ,get em to visit,bring their own drink,let you help polish it off,they leave pissed thinking what a great guy he is,must buy a zooki.

www.metvuw.com is'nt looking too healthy particularly saturday's looking like a white wash, I dont have any significant wet weather gear so i'll be keeping my eyes peeled on the forcast tomorrow and make a decision thursday night/friday morning.

Doesn't look too bad Sarge. Most of the really wet stuff should pass out to sea to the west, although it may be a little damp with light rain for periods in the Coro, given the easterlies. We may be lucky and miss the worst of it if we're inland at the time tho.

The Daytona's at ANZA getting it's 20 K service so she'll be running sweetly. Got it to work this am and noticed a f.....g nail in the nearly new rear PR2! Shite! Hopefully it'll repair OK and not need a total replacement!

Yeah I was kinda banking on it being a bit more summery like it is RIGHT NOW coz if I get really wet i'm wet for the rest of the trip and I can not afford to get crook just at the moment but like I said earlier i'm not writing it off just yet. I'll see what friday morning bring first.

Bummer about your tyre, believe me I know how that feels. I have a spare 190 section Michelin Road (not Road 2) you are more than welcome to use for the trip which might be a good idea coz if the plug fails on the repair your really screwed (I should'nt imagine it would though), particularly if it's sunday. Or there's a near new Pilot Power 2CT that needs mending....
