I'm thinking two garages. I'm already bringing 6 bikes and know of 2 others at this stage. I reckon the pit exit end is good. How many Auckers are coming? 8-10 per garage? Or are you talking one double? I can't remember the pricing...

**Buckets4Me** · 16th June 2008, 21:53

yep one double and i'm sure we had more than a dosen bikes
about 6-7 people stayed
1 was 10 years another 8 months old :P

**koba** · 16th June 2008, 21:56

Good shit!

I'm sure I will like the feeling if I ever manage to win a race..

**F5 Dave** · 17th June 2008, 10:19

Good one chief, I still remember my first win, think I was surprised as anyone else.

Taupo, yup I'm keen, I slept in the van last time. Was a mite cold I bid thee.
