LilSel and i may venture out after we pick my sister and her GF up at the train station....... need to entertain the family somehow...

Cheers to those that showed up on Friday. Was good to have beers. Didn't do much discussing of the trip, but hey, no problem there.

...I suspect that i'm not going to have the 125 running properly in time for this. June 6 isn't that far away.

Have been so busy lately, anyone have a working bike that they could loan me for the challenge? I'd like to do it properly, but if worst comes to worst, I might have to sponsor someone else to do it.

Maybe a GN250, or something similar, can lend you the Hyo as collateral.

i am also still looking for a bike this finding a chopper thing is turning out to be rather hard for the 110cc looks like i may need a 50cc one for a giggle

[The Pastor]

i hope to have the finances to buy a bike in time for this trip. I was thinking mini chopper, but i know the engine cuts out after about 15mins of riding it. If i can find somthing suitable, im in. If i cant i'll see about being the sweep vehical.

[fireball]

only a month and a half to go!

get signed up on the calendar!

[deanohit]

Only 11 signed up? C'mon guys!

[fireball]

Erm... did you deliberately choose Queen's Birthday weekend for this mission? Because the traffic will be a real pain!

One word... back roads... (i know it's two, shuddup)
it's not a long weekend we're going on... or is it? i didnt think it was... if it is i wasted my annual leave!

Ah no! My mistake! Queen's birthday is the weekend before. EXCELLENT - this means I can come on the ride!

(stupid Australian calendar making me confused!)

COUNT ME IN!

[klingon]

Oh hooray - the fact that it's not Queen's Birthday Weekend means I can offer a secret accommodation option to everyone involved. Unfortunately I cannot reveal the nature of this accommodation due to me being an International Woman of Mystery.

Here's what you need to know:

• It is north of the Houhora service station, but south of Cape Reinga
• It involves riding on approximately 6 km of gravel road to get there
• There are no shops or petrol stations, so provisions will need to be bought at Pukenui
• Nobody can know the destination in advance. You will have to ride there blindfolded (just adds to the adventure!)

Please let me know if you're interested!

[klingon]

Oh by the way there are a lot of beds and several bathrooms at the destination, but you will need your own sleeping bag. It is likely there will be a nominal cost to cover hot water, power, etc but I will check that out and let you know.

I think there is a BBQ and there is definitely a well equipped kitchen.

The cost is likely to be by donation, and no more than $20 per person per night.
