Cambrian Rally 2007 who's entered? Advice wanted

[Timolgra]

A question for Bob.

Since I'm changing bike from my original entry, do I need to provide the details of bore X stroke etc. when signing on, both bikes are 650cc ?

 

[Bob Jeffries]

The bore & stroke are used to calibrate the noise tester's meter, if we have one - we won't know for sure until the day. I'd suggest you at least have them available - just in case.

 

[Wreford Miles]

OK now thinking about travel logistics...

May not get down till 9:00pm is it OK to just turn up at the rugby club and camp?

Tim,

I thought you said "small bikes " were for girlies?

Im staying at the 'posh' camp site on the Brecon side of town....mainly because they have good quality showers etc and its still walking/crawling distance from town.....
I will be taking my van up to the start with a couple of bikes in but can carry an odd jerry can (pun intended) for anyone who needs it....pm me for a moby number.....
I also have enough hammers and spanners on board to do the basics if anyone wants to lighten their back packs.
Dont know if I have enough capacity to carry all your engine oils though......

Nice video clips Ian. Typical weather, but apparently it will be fine this year.
What bike is Bushboy riding in the clip? Tell me it's not his 1150, please.
Mark

Flippin back tyre was still slipping on the rear wheel even after one rim lock was fitted
Plan C is in force, I've just fitted a tube and will test it tomorrow.

Typical mistress

It will be especially with the tyre spinning on the rim.

Every lap he'll have the spanners out tinkering in the pits
He's wearing the Coperate twat suite and Tour X aswell

 

[Timolgra]

Excellent vids... I just can't see me lasting 6 minutes without a burger though

A quick question, will there be anyone there selling tyres and clothing etc... as I can't find my shiney new GS Kangaroo skin gloves which would have made me at least twice as fast

 

[snoopy]

I'm arriving at 8pm hopefully then will have to spend 1hr changing the bike wheels from the supermoto rubber to the offroad tyres (I'm too afraid to ride down on them!).

Timpo might stick the wheels in your truck if you don't mind, save worrying about them getting nicked at the campsite.

No problem Snoops.
I'll fetch my stand down for you to do the swap.
Does anybody else need any stuff bringing to the RC or start (especially people riding to the event)?
I am calling at Trakspares (01244 822510) for a few bits, on my way to Llandovery. I can pick items up if you call Reece and pay by debit/credit card. I'll be there at about 1500hrs tomorrow and leaving there at 1530hrs.
