KB Rally Saturday Lunch Ride (12 Dec)

[miSTa]

On the Saturday of the SI KB Rally (12th) I've devised a short wee ride (more details on that later) and organised a special lunch.

Lunch will at the Formerly The Blackball Hilton (http://blackballhilton.co.nz) and will consist of rabbit food and assorted genuine West Coast delicacies.

Lunch will start at 12:30pm with the aim of arriving at the Hilton at 12:00.

As for the cost, unknown at this stage but would imagine less than $20.

Right now I need to know numbers ASAP to ensure I get the right quantities of everything ordered and organised.

[scumdog]

OK, just so's you think somebody reads what you post - (and cares!):whistle::buggerd:

CB and I can be safely pencilled in for lunch.

[Spuds1234]

I voted once for me, and Im sure Sexy Lexy will come aswell. So add another to your total as I doubt she will see this poll and vote.

[Jantar]

Stromfrau and I will both be there. :hug:

[Ghost_Bullet]

I voted, and think I will be there, but being that it is still many days away, there is always the chance I will trip in a bunny hole, and end up with an ankle in traction....

Barriers everywhere now darn it. Toyota has done some brilliant ads over the years. Mates used to give me shit when the guy knocking the dent out of his 40 series landcruiser fender, in toyota ad came on. As I'd done the same to mine 3 times in a row and just knocked it out with a sledge hammer the 3rd time.

In the cases where I know that or where I have been told there will be two then yes. Otherwise it's a complete guess.

What's the bet that someone who who doesn't state their intention to come along will the first one to moan about the organisation of the lunch and the lack of food available.

At least the poll removes some of the guess work for me.

[Ghost_Bullet]

you could hunt for huhu grubs in the surrounding bush, the omnly meat availabile would be possom or wild pork, Im sure some puha could be harvested, if your keen, doc will lend you a fishing road for the mountain trout in the lake. But shop food? ony 80k's away in Greymouth to the Pac n Save,

You must point out who these people are when we get together ;)It is pretty obvious. Their moms dress them funny.

We have good roots to the coast as well
1. Great Great Grandparents
2. Found this in the Denniston museum, Great Grandfather DJ
3. Grandad's shop where dad was born in Denniston
4. Dad,Grandad and Great Grandad all born in Westport

[cold comfort]

Ditto- born in Westport. Spent every Xmas at my G/parents house for years and surfing with mates there after. My Grandad was a self taught engineer and a local bridge builder. Built the first bridge at Ngakawau and many others. Looks like only one for lunch now as the wife not impressed with the forecast.

Was a very good lunch I thought. Was great to see everyone enjoying themselves. :niceone:

Pity the weather let us down a bit, but too bad. Still worked out well I thought.

[Ghost_Bullet]

Absolutely! The Duc was running real rough due to the rain and i recall seeing all the bikes wondering "why have they all stopped there" then, by the time i realised it was NOT our group, i was past.
