Auckland to the TTTTT, 26th September.

[NordieBoy]

Seems as if socialites convinced me today to join this trip (wasn't too difficult ...) - only pain is that I won't be able to leave Fri. Anyone thinking of hurtling down from Aucks on Saturday morning crack o' dawn sort of thing to make the Sat morning meetup in ... wherever it will be?

Lemme know?

Hurtling? on a DR?

[johannvr]

For now we are looking at getting away from Awakino at around 8.45am. But it would be easy to meet you maybe two hours later not too far down the road.

Could be possible - don't want to overcomplicate things tho. A chance that I may be able to sneak off on Friday afternoon at around 3 & get down there - will have to try & plan for that - traffic will be shite tho, what with the start of school hols ...

All else fails I will try & see hwo the genaral schedule works & try to meet somewhere later on Sat morning.

HA HA HA....HURTLING ON A DR? = hurting on a DR more like it!!!

[ducatijim]

Hurtling aside, can we cut thru this crap and get back on thread?

JUST WOT THE FUCK IS THE PLAN FOR FRIDAY 26 SEPTEMBER IAIN?

Hurtling? on a DR?

he meant 'Hurting'
he was referring to the stock seat

Seeing as Iain is not going to tell us now what the Friday's real plan is I'll just screw the thread up again for a bit.

As for the "hurting" bit - Real cowboys just don't cry.

At least not in front of their horses



Back on track

Cow stand on your hand this morning?
I suppose this burst of outrage means we are going to have to put up with you as well on friday......bringing your new toy as well?

Plans then...I'll amend the first post of this thread but basically I will be in taupo at 9am (the things I do for you lot, I'll have to leave about 3am to avoid "hurtling"). Leave Taupo shortly after 9.00 heading for the start of the 42 traverse which is notionally Kapoors road planning on being there around 10ish and then the hurtling down the track can begin around 10.30.
Lunch at Owhango pub (12.30 ish) then gravel via some yet to be decided route to Awakino. If some want to do Fishers track we can meet up after the track, I don't want to get the Kaboom muddy.
Thats as much organising as you get, I wouldn't mind knowing who's planning on meeting up where but I don't want that info until a couple of days out.

If the weather is really crap I will bail a (decision made day or so before) and just do a late run down the west coast to Awakino.

9am Taupo, what pub is open at that time?

We better find some location

[ducatijim]

Yup....a location to meet at 0900 in Taupo would be good.?

No Iain, wasn't shouting/angry( I don't do angrynly even)....just wanted to be noticed amoungst all the irrelevant crap.

I just might be interested in a days excursion with youz, particubly if it be a nice day, on the day....so to speak.

So as I don't upset ur arrangements, I shall not register my interest yet however, not till 'a couple of daze out'.

Smile....ur waterpump may last a little longer yet!

[cooneyr]

Speaking of water pumps, you fullers that have just gone and got yourself ktm 9x0's might be interested in this web site http://www.ktm950.info/. Has pretty much all the info you need about the known issues and how to repair them plus some suggested mods. It is put together by the guys on ADVrider.

And if you are a dairy farmer with bugger all to do between milking have a look at this thread on adv rider http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137838

I've been doing some preparatory reading for when I win lotto you see

I updated the first bloody post, you have to read it and all (well, not all but some vaque idea) will be revealed.

I didn't think you were angry Ducatijim, just reacting in my usual sarcastic manner.....be great to see you.

Speaking of water pumps,

Water pumps, clutch slave cylinders, crap batteries, vacuum locks in fuel tanks, exploding clutches (ask Oscar)??

But they don't burn oil like KLR's

Ryan, have a look at the "OC hall of wisdom" site, all you could wish to know about the big Katooms.
