New Years Day seemed an appropriate time to do a bit of work on the old Honda C50 engine - new con rod & big end bearing, new mains, swapped out the gearbox for something with a little less wear, honed the bore then fitted with new piston & rings. Then blow me down I find I don’t have a gasket to join the two crankcase halves, bu**er (any one in Chch area happen to have one?). All this in preparation for the next Scooter Safari fundraiser for the Cancer Society. If you want to sponsor me go to https://scootersafari.co.nz/clivechapman 😊

Heads up. Entries for the next Tranz Alpine Scooter Safari open tonight at 7pm. They usually sell out in the first 20 minutes so if you want to enter better be sitting at the computer by 6.59pm. An 'Enter' button will be added to the Scooter Safari home page at 7pm, so keep hitting refresh. https://scootersafari.co.nz/

Great day for our riders out on their Bronze Ride Forever course, learning new skills & getting set up for their Restricted test. And a lovely ride around the port hills to boot.

Henrys Tiki Tour is happening again, a great way of exploring the South, and finding out a few interesting facts along the way too. Tar seal all the way :-). Share away.
