Which road(s)? There are several that go through there, I remember them being good but it was a long time ago and in a car not on a bike.


I cant see Raincliff on wises maps, but sounds good if alls running to plan.Have a look on google maps, it turns up if you search for raincliff, new zealand.

I'm aiming to be there but won't be away until after lunch on sat, anyway I'll be on the Yamaha so I'd only hold you up ;) Might take the scenic route home on sunday instead.

Stupid and dangerous rule, Nice to see the dragstar finally got some pipes:laugh: See ya both there. RG got a wedding to attend on the sat, so no lawnmower racing for her this year

I was very nearly tempted to run straight pipes on it, surely it cant be that loud. If I had to do it again I would start from scratch, would have been much simpler.

[dangerous]

soooo... your not coming to the buell rally then,,,,,,:rockon:
no mate, I know BB was pissed but its to far for the Buell rider to go two up, and I dont mean with Toren.
We missed out going to the Nelson rally so Im headed to the Magpie, besides the Buell club still owe me a badge from the last one I went to.

[KZT]

Heading from Geraldine to Fairlie, about halfway, just over ther Timaru district/Mackenzie district border, there's a bridge on a bend over the river. about a km after that you hang a left and follow the road thru Raincliff to Pleasant Point, then out the back road thru Waitohi to Temuka, Winchester is only a few kms up the road from there.
Yeah maybe a little longer than 30mins, poss uup to 45 mins from Geraldine!
Nice little ride thru some quiet back roads, with a bit of everything.

[Retroqueen]

Matt's first rally!! He's looking forward to it..... so am I.... see you at the meeting point.

Does much happen on the Friday Night?, trying to decide whether it is worth two nights or one.

[98tls]

T2L... Im counting on ya ;) Eh?...............

[98tls]

Does much happen on the Friday Night?, trying to decide whether it is worth two nights or one. Yep Friday nights are good,bands etc.Would go for 2 myself but am only an hour away from the site so not much point,read as "im an old bugger who likes his bed".

[Coldrider]

[98tls]

Friday night for hangover material it is then. Not so young myself anymore. Every time i go to a rally for 2 nights i arrive intent on having a quiet first night and get lagged on the 2nd,:bash:Fucking useless,always end up getting on it and have that seedy thing going on through the Saturday,only one thing for it drink away the seediness:woohoo:Get home Sunday and crash.:blink:

[dangerous]

Eh?...............
true-to-life, Im counting on her to be going (just stiring her up thats all)

[far queue]

Friday night for hangover material it is then. Not so young myself anymore.That's why I go to rallies for 2 nights - get trashed on Fri night, sleep in on Sat then venture out for a ride later, quiet Sat night, wake up fresh Sun morning. Packing and riding home is so much better when you're well :sunny: Friday night at the Magpie is always a good one with bands and lots of people, in fact Friday has been getting pretty big at this one the last couple of years :woohoo:

[98tls]

true-to-life, Im counting on her to be going (just stiring her up thats all) :Oops:Thought you for some reason put a 2 between TL and :bash:fuggit will just go get another Bourbon,carry on..nothing to see here:blink:

[true-to-life]

and a damn good stirer you is too:yes:

[Guzza]

Looks like Susan and I can make it after all. gonna head down on Saturday, not sure at this stage if we will take the long way or the short way. That will depend on weather we have the company of a couple of mates riding a vintage and a 250. Been looking forward to this one and it will be Susans first rally :drinknsin

[dangerous]

oops I forgot to put the regestery gizmo thing on in the calander, looks kinda lonely at the mo http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=2239&day=2009-11-21 :scooter:

[Subike]

I will be there,
But I am riding down on sat with a mob from up here in North Cant.
Sadley it will be the boaring SH1 route.
Im aiming to bring the "new" ride if I can get it mobile in time.
to be sure that I will be mixing with you lot as KB'ers seem to be the loudest bunch at any ralley.
Rock on

[stevewederell]

If we are going (which we hope to) will be going friday after work cos have a birthday party in Darfield Sat and Pearl Jam sunday night (well Tris is)!! Big weekend

Pearly Jam is the weekend after Liv, the 29th, looks like I might see Tris there.

If there's enough of the crew going I might head down after work on the Friday, then I can take it a little easier on the Sat night, as I try and avoid being poisoned by HOT again.:rockon:

[Spuds1234]

I try and avoid being poisoned by HOT again.:rockon:

It should be easy. Just tell her you dont have to drink cos its not your first rally and you dont need your rally cherrie popped again when she tries to feed you shots of tequila.

Atleast thats how I think it went last Magpie.

Are you heading to the coast for the KB rally?catch you then?

Thanks for the road update:niceone:[/QUOTE]

Working on it :niceone:

Only manage to get out for short strops around the backroads at present & had to head through to Chertsey so went through the gorge and found all the patches of kitty litter & got held up by a lollypop cowboy at the gorge bridges.

[98tls]

6am awoke to gale force winds:dodge:and 24 degress,damn its hot.Winds gone dead still though the radio guy just mentioned something about later wind gusts up to 130kph,methinks (hopefully) its blown through already.Bit cloudy but probably better for it really.Catch you lot later up the road.:2thumbsup

[Papa Bear]

one day Papa Bear will have another bike...and I too will be able to enjoy the life of LittleAngel :(

[Rashika]

well had a nice blat to the rally this morning with about 15 tagging along, (picked up Ghostie at Mayfield cos he got left behind!), strong nor'wester till Darfield, then it eased off a bit so was quite pleasant thru the gorge.
Met up with a big bunch from north and south at geraldine, (XKnuts, and nighthawk amongst others) for quite a nice meal at the usual stop, then onto the rally.
Was a bit stiffling at somewhere around 30 degrees, everyone seemed to be sheltering in the trees. We hung around for a couple of hours until the southerly decided to blow thru, and dropped the temp down to about 15. So we road off only to face the southerly trying to blow us off the road again. Then the weirdest thing as we hit Rakaia, sudden temp rise back up to the mid 20's and the norwester blowing us back the other way... ah well the joys of riding in canterbury.

I think camp KB was well on the road to drunkeness from last phone reports, I'm sure there will be some stories from the party goers tomorrow.

oh yeah and OMG there were a huge number of fonterra trucks on the road (each one like a flippen hurricane hitting as they came toward us, poor LittleM was getting blown round a bit), must have been milking time I guess.

You got those too? :lol: GB and 98tls with their German accents, then Q went Chinese, tongue in the ear from D (surprising given his heavy breathing and grunting), 98tls telling me to pick up my $15k carbon fibre pistons...drunken bums, all of them...:lol: Don't think I missed too much at all. :weep:

[Rashika]

haha... that doesn't surprise me! Q is notorious for his drunken calls to people at ungodly hours. :lol:

[Rashika]

Don't think I missed too much at all. :weep:
ahhhh but we did miss you darling... :whistle:

[Spuds1234]

Bloody good time to be honest.

Was suprised to see Sexy Lexy doing 135 on Saturday, the wee fxr was getting a good work out. The grin on Lexy's face was a sight to when we pulled up at Mayfield.

Found out that its a bad idea to chase Wild Turkey down with Amaretto.

Ride home was uneventful. Hit a bit of crap weather halfway between Asburton and Christchurch though. It didnt last long so it was all good.

See you all at the Burt and the KB rallys.

[Jerry74]

First time we have been to the Magpie and we will be back.. bloody good weekend actually.
Sort of feel sorry for all the guys who needed the ambulances, especially the tyre burnout guy hope it feels better soon mate.
One of the beetr rallies around if you ask me.

[helenoftroy]

I enjoyed that!:banana:..and yeah!there was tequilla!...and amaretto...which Crusa & I had guzzled by 8pm!!:whistle:

There was talking,& dancing,and shots & too much bare flesh(sorry bout that!!:pinch:)

Really enjoyed the ride there,and yeah!Sexy Lexy had the wee bike humming...go the fXRs!!

Big brekkie at the Checkered Flag then the ride home.Matt and I swopped at Ashburton,I got to ride the big Beemer and I broke it (the indicator switch broke & flew away):Oops:Miss my old purple BMW sumtimes but do luv the Duc:love:

Lots of fun and great to catch up with some of the down south guys :hug:

[neels]

Interesting ride down yesterday as the wind changed from NW to SW, but nice and settled once we got there. Good night and excellent entertainment, stayed and watched the band until they finished at about 2am and then awake at 6.30 when people started firing up bikes. Home via Geraldine, Mayfield & late breakfast in Ashvegas then through the rain at Dunsandel out the other side at Rolleston and dry at home. Bike unpacked, tent drying, washing on, time for a beer.:apint:

[JMemonic]

If we are going (which we hope to) will be going friday after work cos have a birthday party in Darfield Sat and Pearl Jam sunday night (well Tris is)!! Big weekend

I guess the if was the operative phrase there, shame you guys didnt make it.


I will be there,
But I am riding down on sat with a mob from up here in North Cant.


Oh really, never saw hide nor hair of the dodgy Dave better know as Subike shame was looking forward to catching up with you.

Kerry and I made it back, we packed up leisurely, chilled out a bit with the Dunedinites and waited for the bike traffic to quieten down before Kerry embarked on the journey home. Puddled along at 70 odd on the way back and had mostly a pleasant trip except for the one sphincter bodily orifice that attempted to side swipe me at the rear as I was in the low position on the road the cut Kerry off.

Loads of Fonterra tankers on the roads so if you know guys anyone who drives for them (or are one of the drivers) pass the word along a big thank you from the little L plated bike and the one riding behind it you guys were great, the courtesy you showed was magic.

Thankyou all the Christchurch brigade that made me welcome ...

Those guys are the best trained and paid drivers in NZ... pitty more truckies aint like em.



& too much bare flesh(sorry bout that!!:pinch:)ahhhh... but quality flesh at that :devil2:




Sort of feel sorry for all the guys who needed the ambulances, especially the tyre burnout guy hope it feels better soon mate.Ya know it amazes me these days, in the oll days there would be a area behind the burn out pad that was cordened off, for saftys sake, fark emagin the damage a broken chain could do, let alone as in this case a 200kph piece of melted rubber, fark the guy is lucky he could be a dead burger or blind.


Was suprised to see Sexy Lexy doing 135 on Saturday, the wee fxr was getting a good work out. The grin on Lexy's face was a sight to when we pulled up at Mayfield. yeah hehehe... when I did one of my 'haul it up and do a head count' stop, (at the twin bridge gorge) I heard a engin being reemed sounded like a 250/4 or stroker twin... nex sec Lexy came hertling across the last bridge at warp 9 with a grin from hell :2thumbsup




It was a very productive conference call, though a bit disapointed in ya miSTa, very little input from yo!!!

LMFAO :buggerd:



98tls telling me to pick up my $15k carbon fibre pistons... and thats Iti CF too, not that shit yank crap 98 puts on his jappa :2thumbsup




I'm sure there will be some stories from the party goers tomorrow.
And as you know R, LOL 'what happens at rallys... stays at rallys :beer:



one day Papa Bear will have another bike...and I too will be able to enjoy the life of LittleAngel :(

Glad you back safe and sound! Big congrats to Kerry!!!

Yeah decided not to go- it was $30 that I didnt have with all our strike action, so dont think it was worth it for the 1 night!! However KB rally we will definately be there!

[Guzza]

Susan And I headed into Timaru for breakfast at Mums place before heading home. Saw a couple of cops pulling south bound riders over on the edge of town and breath testing them. Fully expected to see the same north of Winchester but not a thing. We tucked in behind a bunch of riders as we passed through Winchester and over the next 30-40km witnessed them carry out some seriously dumb-ass passing manuvers and generally showing little respect for (read: scare the shit out of...) other road users. Not good PR given the current political climate. Only struck a wee bit of drizzle around Rolliston.
Susan picked up her first rally badge and I managed to put a few more names to faces so over all it was a great night out: 2thumbsup

[Ghost_Bullet]

Seems this is the place to throw down ya report of what become.

Cheers those and all. A good weekend.

Second time to Winchester.
Awoken in the morning to a brilliant cuddle from me daughter, a nice breaky, pack the last of what I needed for the trip.
Goodbye family…love ya!!!….. Bbbbbrmmmm, I was gone.

Darfeild by 9.30am… fill with some spirits in her tank at Oxford… a comp problem lead to slight delay. Darfeild, 9.37am. No one there. Mmm:(
Sent a txt to dangerous… at 9.50am… “not here by 10 I am going ahead”.
9.52 and I was ripping down the road, great run,weather was good, and the rumbling griso had me aroused.:drool:

Checked the cell at the gorge… nuthin… mmm
Zipped down ward the track. Mayfeild, blimmin bikers galore, even one in the middle of the road….. TARGET!!!!!:Pokey: Hang about, that’s them, those that were to be at Duh-field… cool.

Popped through to Geraldine for a feed, Burger was good; bits lodged in me mow provided nutrition later on.
To the site, a sight seen… HOT, the weather it was. Tent set. Brain set….”no shots for this GB” (nil repeat of last year) Whew and it was still hot, I was moist!!!!:pinch:
That shift in the wind was awesome! Fully conditioned and perfect to chill out, a few drinks a wonder, snap snap a shot or three. Chatter, circulate, and chatter.

The night slowly went down, I struggled with new faces and names… who are they? Duh, no idea.
Drinks and more chatter, donkey shanks, :lol:Muslim goats resurfaced, rang miSTa to discuss important things in the world, and to be honest, he was not in rally mode, what a waste of good dollars where the conference of a few drew out much value.:2thumbsup

Darkness, a Hot guzzi, fire, spirits laughing, huddles, and cuddles, exposure of flesh only one could imagine:baby:, I tried snapping, even taking pictures of others camera’s to spy a gink. NEVER HAPPENED!!!. Damn it.

Wet T, Band, whitebait Sammie, chips, another drink, and all that stuff. Glow rings. My eyes heavy, legs weakening.... near on sleeping, next thing SPLASH!!!! WTF??? What did I do???:wacko: cuppa drink icky and sticky, left side now wet side, I near on died!!!, Fella right side, was the target, happened I was wrong place wrong time…:girlfight:
In my head I said, it’s time for bed, lay down with a little frown.

Awoke, feeling as good as I should, The Flag for breaky, home ward bound.
Hugs and welcomes from those farewell’d. :hug:

[cruza]

Another good magpie , A awesome start to a few weeks off work . I'll bring a bottle of amaretto to kb in a few weeks Helen , think I drained a few refills out of ya hip flask:o . With talk of piercings, carbon fibre and bald harley tyres I collapsed soon after midnight, lots of new faces and a few more km's on the ape. :2thumbsup

Guzza,so agree with you !
Didnt see too much crazy stuff on the way home,different story when we went to Greymouth for racing at Labour weekend:pinch:

I was really aware of how many drivers pulled over to the left yesterday, I always give these drivers a wee wave & a smile in appreciation as I go past:2thumbsup

[Ghost_Bullet]

hehe yea... i was playing catch up..

nothing like the open road and trying to keep up with bikes that are 6 times bigger than your own, to make you push the limits and discover the full potential of a "wee" bike like mine...... :devil2: hehe

well i had awesome fun at the rally!! but may think twice about washing down wild turkey with amertto! despite Alex confiscating my flask of amertto cos he thought i was getting too drunk, only he ended up looking worst off after the tequila shots that helen gave him! :sick:

well i popped my rally cherry and survived it, now im ready for the KB rally!! :wari:
