New on the Scene - Makara attack this weekend?
Hi all...
After reading about keen adventurers pushing their DR600s through mudholes in the Congo in the '90s, and watching the latest Dakar race DVD...I've finally gotten a dual purpose machine...
(OK, not counting the TS185 that I accidently acquired off TradeMe a couple of weeks ago for $906 road legal...no disrespect to the TS185 posse)
...I'll be flying down to Welly later this week, and picking up a substantially rebuilt and road legal 1987 TT350.
Yes, no more punting my podgy ZXR down gravel roads for me...which means less changes of underwear required.
So I'm keen to hear from anyone who will be interested in a ride over the weekend somewhere round Wellington, before I head back to Auckland on Monday.
I've been eyeing up the roads out west of Makara for a bit of a shakedown...see attached satellite spy photo...it's the area NW and SW of the marker.
And in general interested to hear from anyone (especially round the Ak region) who would be into adventure riding after that...
I'm thinking of a weekend of 42nd Traverse (done it on mountain bike), and Taihape/Napier road over the Ruahines (done it on an RG250), though might wait until it gets a bit less nippeeeee.
Peace out =)
P.S. Don't u just love those plate tectonics
