    Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
    For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
    Because he knows the time is short

    Reckon the number of the beast
    For it is a human number
    Its number is six hundred and sixty six.

    Yup, tis not just a ride, TIS AN ADVENTURE!
    Argh me hearties!

    Sounds like there'll be a few scoots that wont get much beyond 50 or 60k's. hence the spreading over three days
    Never thought i'd be in the fast pack coz i'm capable of doing up to about 80k, but i dont think it'll be too far from the truth somehow!

    Now I'm seeing if I can make a rig for a sidecar on my little heap!

    Need somewhere to stash my gears!

    Man I gotta say this does sound like a lot of fun...

    Is there going to be a cutoff date for joining in?

    That Gyro is amazing! Could cut off the roof, and make a wee Trailer from it.

    Andy, it's never too late! Start browsing a bike now!

    EDIT: Got my tow bar put on the Cage today, one step closer to a pre-CCC road Trip.

    Just how the rules are read.
    Not to good at reading are we?

    Exemptions on any specific rule may be applied for by messaging fireball or myself.

    If you feel the need to keep questioning the ride you clearly do not have the spirit to enjoy it. You may be happier on another ride.

    The idea is to go to the cape on an inappropriate bike, it's about the challenge, having some fun. If it's about rules then i think you might be in the wrong place?

    thank you at least someone has it right.
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    The whole point is to be on an inappropriate bike, especially the lack of ability to cruise on the open rd. If you've gotta ride to aucks on it by yourself to make it to the start, then this may not be the best ride to join in on. Last thing we want is a bike down before the start line!

    Outward bound would also have similar safety problems. Do they want to be associated with a ride that somebody is killed or injured on? Just keep it in mind...
    Getting to the ride is your own responsibility, these guys are doing what they can to give us the best chance of surviving, ideas like stick together and wear fluro.
    If your worried about the trip up to the meet point, trailer your bike.
