...well now that you mention it..... Im in! It cant be anywhere near as bad as our yearly new years river ride. Would any one be upset if we were to bring beers up with us?? Quite a lot of beers??
Just thought I'd quote "Tofa" as we get near the ride in case any one forgot... You will need a ski that can do two tanks of gas without breaking down (tank of spare fuel- strap it on or sweet talk a sitdown to take it)) You will need a tool kit and tow rope (spare set of spark plugs -in there ?) You will need money for the pub lunch and a few beers/drinks for the way up and back.
oh crap i have trouble with at least 1 out of 4 skis on a ride we ran out of fuel last time we did a river run and my boys arent old enough to drink and we have no money left
Does any one taking a sit down have a place I could stow a bit of fuel? Ill see if i can rig up a fuel can on my pole ski but i may be pushing shit uphill.. thanks
We can sort that on the day dude...Sitdowns and blasters can carry extra fuel so shouldnt be a problem
Hey Tofa is there still room for me, Knoxie and possibly my hot single friend? Hot single friend doesn't have a ski though...
Ummm well i have a two seater if your hot single friend is a she...if its a he Norm can have him lol. But yes sure come on down be good to see you all...
Weathers looking good and responces on here are making for a good turn out so thanks alot. Just remember not to be late at the meeting point as id hate for you to drive all that way to miss the ride. We are meeting at the intersection of SH24 and Tepoi Rd at 9AM in the large gravel area. Just a recap on things you will need Full tank and 15ltr Tow rope Spare plugs and basic tools $5 per rider for parking and tractor hire if needed Some money for lunch and drinks at pub Drinks for trip up and back...Cans not bottles Warm gear...Wind breaker or jacket Helmets and goggles arnt a must but great for keeping the head warm and the spary out of your eyes. And PLEASE respect the river and farmers land NO skidding up the place and leaving rubbish Thanks
Just to add: jumper leads, crc and a sharp knife!! dunno if dans bringin the chainsaw again but mite pay to check toaf.
Tofa your a legand. Cheers for a great day. I have some small chunks to re glass but nothing to majour. Now that I have thawed out time for a nice beer. Good to see a great turn out..

(yeah a live ocean going seal!...couldn't believe it) cool to meet more new faces, good effort 17 skis speacial thanks to 'hot chick' for taking the ute and petrol up there. cheers for organising tofa
