Anyhow. If any body else wants any raise your hand (p.m. or post) before I start in the kitchen.

Hi Jatz - grand idea - thanks for taking the initiative- I'm happy to contribute dollars toward the cost - look fwd to meeting you and Mrs Jatz along with all the others adventurers on Friday at Werewolfs - cheers Aslan

If anyone is still looking for accomodation I'll be staying at my daughters place not far from warewolfs and the house is empty.

Anyone from Christchurch travelling up late 1st? I plan on doing the Rainbow then camping somewhere and doing all the technical sections the next day before the BBQ, anyone interested leave me a mail, I will be picking them up on midday on the 1st. These plans might change, if so I will be riding up first thing on the 2nd!

Happy new year all!

Bike's still at BazBikes hemoraging oil

Took it in end of November to get sorted, they fixed the problem but created 2 others. Mr Jatz fixed 1 but fuckem, they can fix their other fuck up(Mr jatz could have fixed that one too but I'm standing my ground on this one) still fuming

I couldn't believe it when a suzuki dealership f*cked up an oil change on my custard-on-wheels by losing an o-ring

. It's not that f*cking hard, esp since there was a shop floor of the same bike. Course I didn't find out till 1000km down the road. Prob no harm done but I like my T's dotted.

All the very best girls & boys.
Shame my 250 is a tad tiny for such an epic adventure!

Wait till next year. Your 250 will be too large for the Small Bore Challange bro and I are scheming

Had a request for the location of the starting point. It is the carpark of the Nelson i-Site Visitor Centre‎ at the corner of Trafalgar and Halifax Streets - see a map here (Man I hate dial up!!!).
