Want to pop in and see this at some stage, wondering if anyone else is keen? Maybe a little pootle first followed by a gander at the exhibit and a caffeine?
Not in any hurry as it's on for a while but if there's any interest this weekend then Sunday might be the day...

Could be, Have to check my work roster
It is well worth it, we went to the opening last Friday night.
Pauly is going to be one of the tour guides this Sunday.
Also bear in mind they will be changing some of the bikes during it, so it may be worthwhile going a couple of times

Yes well I thought that would be a problem having it there, but thats where they wanted it.
My X did want them that it would get annoying.

The admin assistant said they never thought of the noise factor when it was set up.DOH!Asked them if they could turn volume down if possible,didn't need to be as loud as it was in my opinion.Mind you with a few bods waiting it may quiten a bit.
Is bloody impressive though.

Realy enjoyed the display, makes you realise how talented Burt Munroe was when you get a feel of what he had to work with

No racing Connies though eh? Some fantastic Kiwi ingenuity on display though!
truck racing was in the next building.
Great exhibit. Really enjoyed wandering through all the bikes. I even went out and got WSK08 after playing the sim.

More importantly, will it run on my machine?
I have a XP2500+ 1G ram GF6600GT and it works ok at 800x600 with most options turned off.
Still looks mint. Would like to see it on a gaming machine though.
