2010 KB Rally in the Catlins

[Ghost_Bullet]

Well done Daffyd.
Not much choice really, but Kaka Point Tavern could also be a lunch meal stop instead of Owaka on the round trip.
What foodie options are there at Owaka?
No matter what, the Saturday ride will be a roundabout part repeat ride. Just the nature of the remoteness of Tautuku, eh.


Owaka has a couple of good food options and Daffyd, Normajeane and I have one sussed, been speaking to management and they're in with us.;)

Ok I see, so Owaka is the likely place, mmm for some reason miSTa was pointing towards the bottom... at Fortrose.
Owaka sure would be closer to strike earlier in the day.

Daffyd, normajeane and I organised something with an Owaka tucker establishment for a meal on the way back from the ride.:yes:

Unless Daffyd has changed things..:shutup:

[Spuds1234]

What time do you reckon you'll get to Owaka?

If its a long ride, with a late lunch for you guys I might get a bit of a sleep in.

[far queue]

... im leaving at the crack of dawn and will try to be down in time for lunch...Lucky Dawn :innocent:


... mmm for some reason miSTa was pointing towards the bottom...I'll bet he was :buggerd:

[dangerous]

Ok now look... I cant be the only one that cant see the camp and or Tautuku on the posted google maps... I see Tautuku bay, lake Wikie, oyster bay and a un named dotted track off the main road... instructions please. :scooter:

Use the satelite view and zoom in a bit, you'll see a few buildings. Its there.

[KiwiPhoenix]

*CHCH people*

A heads up for those coming down from Chch, just be aware that there is roadworks south of Ashburton, it's a 30km/h zone for about 3-4km. They are re-surfacing the road, so please take care!! (They may have finished it by the weekend, or is that wishful thinking!?)

Take care folks and I'll see you on Saturday!

Where the words 'Papatowhai - Niagra Road' appear on the Google photo there a cluster of building. That's us. - opposite where a creek flows out onto the beach.

[Ghost_Bullet]

So the closest fuel is Belclutha, or is there somthing in Owaka?

[scumdog]

So the closest fuel is Belclutha, or is there somthing in Owaka?

Card pump in Owaka.

And also a pump (unknown Octane) gas at Papatowhai, about 10 km from Camp KB.

Ha oh, as long as it is higher than 30 octane, it should not be diesel at least. But it would be wrong if at least one sucker did not fill there bike with the stuff on a KB jaunt.

ohh and once I converted the map to outa space view I se the hang out...

[far queue]

Bugger the fuel, where's the nearest booze for resupply? I'll be coming up from the south tomorrow via Fortrose, what the last takeaway refreshment stop along the way?

[Ghost_Bullet]

For you probably the creek near the camp, and maybe I could syphen a little alco from me fuel tank that I fill in Owaka.

I guess from the bottom, Tokanui which is just beyond Fortrose or if you overshoot try Papatowai store but neither will be cheap. The Invercargill Licensing Trust will be cheaper, but hey you might strike it lucky and with your suave looks and flashing eyes, you might get it cheaper!! BTW Normajeane posting in case your think scummy fancies you!

I've never been through the Catlins before, so tomorrow it is, and Tokanui it is. I just want some beers and coke, I've already got the higher octane stuff.

Looks like a good trip. Mataura is still in the ILT area, and you cannot buy from a store in the area (I suppose that includes Tokanui! but it has a pub). Ride safe and see you in Tautuku. Oh yes, mind the mozzies! NJ

[Daffyd]

Okay; sorry for replying so late but I been working and receiving medical attention.

The lunch is definitely at the Catlins Diner in Owaka and is timed for about 1:30-2:00.
This is to give them time to clear out the normal lunchtime rabble. SD, NJ and I more or less planned a ride to Kaka Point with lunch on the return leg.

The proprietor is very keen to get a pic of the bikes in front of the diner so he can put it on his website.

They are making up a selection of salads and a selection of cold meats for us. They also do gluten free.

The petrol at the Papatowai store is 91 octane and they also sell diesel for those with Moto Guzzis and/or KTMs.

I think that's just about covered everything. Ride safe, all and we'll see you tomorrow or Saturday.

Actually Mataura is a separate trust. I think Tokanui is in the Mataura Licensing Trust area.

[kerryhare]

Have a great weekend everyone. Unfortunately we wont be along now this year. Maybe next year.

[orsem]

I wanted to go this year, had the bike serviced, even got my restricted to make the journey more legal :woohoo: But family duties call, so have fun everyone :bye: and look forward to reading about the exploits and seeing photos on here:corn:

[cold comfort]

Just had a call from Nelson Hospital. Unfortunately my Dad has had a 'heart attack." Fortunately he is grizzling about his sore chest from the nurses jumping on it so that's good. So its off to sunny Nelson this weekend instead. Have a great weekend guys and gals. I had a Super Tenere on loan booked too- maybe next time.

[cruza]

Well I'm out this year, can't get foot peg bracket tig welded to sat morning, mate doing on site work today, :violin: . had ryan's ttr50 also apart today , his brother had crash on it last nite ...must be something in the water.......

[FJRider]

[Xaria]

Well after all that Nighhawk and I ended p going and staying the night.

Smallish turnout, many exploits too horrible to speak about, and I took no photos so no proof of anything.

Been there done that, got less money in my pocket to proove it :facepalm:

[Daffyd]

All in all, I thought it went well. I have a high quality coffee coloured pillowcase recovered from "C" block.(The lifers' wing.)

Also a vintage Motorola cell phone.

PM me if either of them are yours.

[_Shrek_]

we just got home about an hr ago went the long way, took Mr Shrek on the metal :woohoo: then we parked up by the river for a bit now we need a nana nap

will put up pic's when they are editted :shifty:

Kp, Jantar, and I got back about an hour or so... :woohoo:

A few new roads for KP ... and she seems to be loving the southern roads .... :yes:

[far queue]

All in all, I thought it went well...Indeed. Thanks for all your work doing the organising. Getting the road swept for us all was a nice touch.

I got home an hour ago. Pics tomorrow sometime.

[KiwiPhoenix]

I had a fantastic time, so thank you one and all for everything! Especially FJRider and Jantar for letting me slow them down :gob:. Daffyd, thank you for all the organising that you done for the rally, you rock! :woohoo:

Spuds1234, thanks for the help with the bike in Owaka, thankfully it hasn't suffered from it's lie down! :rofl:

A big thanks from me Daffyd ... for all your help ... for those that needed extra help too ...

I can assure you KP ... you did not slow us down. On our own if you were not there, we would not have traveled much faster ...

Might put a few pics up later ...

[chiefofthehill]

Had a right royal good old ding dong of a time thanks people, magic wee spot of mother earth down there, thanks to HOT, SD and XK for the rides on ya bikes, in one day I managed me a ride on a Duc, Zookie turb, Victory and a sit on a Kawasaki BK-117 B-2

Wana extra thanks to go out to those that kept an eye out for me all w/e :yes: think I loved the space to streach my legs and get a little loose on it. could have been very easy to get lost round there. :scooter:

[victorious]

A big thanks from me Daffyd ... for all your help Ditto, cheers for sorting it all out, I hope there wasnt to much to sort out at the end on ya own... I forgot to dung out our bath room :facepalm:
As the Chief says great wee spot there didnt want to leave... as I screamed my wee white arse off all the way home, the olds now have permanent hearing loss and I dont think I'm going to get another offer of a lift for some time :woohoo:

[dangerous]

yeah and I'd like to thank mum, god and the guys that do the hard yards at the end, cheers Shreker's, Scumie's etc for tidying the joint up, its thoses wee shit house jobs that get forgoten about (BBQ, kitchen, rubbish etc)

Wicked roads down there, could even live there if I had a driving job (fark building in winter)
anyways bloody mint company as usual, were to next year ;)

[scumdog]

Well, another KB gathering done and dusted, great venue, great roads, great weather, great scenery and great people.:woohoo:

Great to see all those friends and catch up with the goss - it's a shame it's 12 months between meetings for some - hey, speaking of meeting, where are we going to have the next KB gathering??:shutup:


BTW: I took the XN (and had a blast on those twisties), it developed a high frequency 'buzz' or vibration at over 5,000rpm but I THINK I know the likely cause - got back to Chez Scumdog to find the left bar-weight all set to go AWOL, hanging by a few threads of the through-bolt.
Sorted.

[FJRider]

Just a few pics of the weekend ... more may come later ...

1. A "Southern Rider" (and a KB'r) from the shakey city ... falls in love with the southern roads ...

2. Luchtime (mid-afternoon) on saturday ... bloody good grub too ...

3. The lunch queue ... most of us had seconds ... and thirds ...

4. tea was yummy too ...

5. KB (south-island) home-base ... for the weekend ...

[Daffyd]

Thanks for all the comments guys. I feel a bit guilty; thanks must also go to Scumdog and normajeane...without their input (and help)I wouldn't have done nearly as well. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

[neels]

Big thanks to the organising peoples, you did a great job sorting out a great venue.

Mint ride down friday via the scenic and somewhat deviating route, particularly fun roads out the back of oamaru that i haven't been through for at least 20 years, pretty good weather and dry except for a bit of rain in omarama while we were inside having lunch.

A great couple of nights catching up with some old faces and meeting some new ones, a few quiet drinkies and a few more noisy ones. Nice little tiki tour down to the caves on saturday, although someone could have mentioned the half hour walk to get there so I could stick my shorts in, motorbike pants are definately not designed for that carry on. Yummy lunch at the diner, and equally yummy bbq for dinner, and I actually made it to bed at a presentable hour.

Lovely day today for the ride home by a slightly more direct but still deviating route, after stopping in for a wee visit in dunedin on the way past. Bike went great all weekend except for one little issue that left me sitting in the middle of the waitaki bridge :facepalm: but after a loooong push the helpful guy at the glenavy garage took a break from working on his camaro to find some tools so I could sort it.

All up a pretty damn good weekend, about 1500k's on the bike on some really good roads, and a few more stories in what's left of the memory bank. Will see if I have any decent pic's once I extract them from my phone.

Must be time to start thinking about the next one

[Daffyd]

I've just been talking to the camp custodian. He was very happy with the state the camp was left in. Big thanks to all those that took part in the clean-up.

[JellyBellyKelly]

hi all, sorry didn't make it this year, had to prioritise a few things at moment.

[KiwiPhoenix]

Home back safe and sound in Chch, had a fantastic weekend, managed to clock up 1533km :shit: definitey time for an oil change, eh Cruza!!

Will post up the photos tomorrow, too tired to think about it just now!

[normajeane]

We had a brilliant weekend and of course we made sure the weather was just right!:yes: Glad everyone had a good time. Scored a couple of leftover bottles of plonk. Dave is keeping them for us!:woohoo:
Scummy mowed the lawns after washing the bugs off the bikes and I hauled a couple of phages of weeds out of the garden!
Back to work today and looking forward to my next ride. The cop was heading down the road just as we went through Papatowai - foreigners had fallen off the road at the Whistling Frog!

[Clairsky]

Thanks to you all for making this a great weekend. Meet a lot of new faces, put faces to names, and caught up with old mates, and rallies! Awesome to catch up with the 'great nephews'.
Made better timing on the way home, daylight, sunshine and dry roads helped!
Dumped bike and gear at home, grabbed car and went to watch youngest at gym club. Did my best to stay awake until safely at home on the couch, when I unleashed the snores dying to get out! Will work on getting photos up asap.
We also saw a car on its roof on our way home but it was quite a bit further down the road from Whistling Frog, were there two maybe? They didn't need help when we stopped to ask, so just carried on.

[helenoftroy]

Our friend that had a short stop-over in Dunedin is back home now:yes:

[Ghost_Bullet]

Yo yo, yeah, how would ya be?
The weekend of last full of glee.

The week so to speak
I was somewhat weak,
No time to report.
For my daughter, I had to do what I oughter, or I would be up for the slaughter.
She is recovering, and thats been very pleasing.
They will decide a treatment, to cement,
The road to "right as rain" no longer in pain, Its been insaine!

I must make some time to wite a story of the glory.
Yo yo, homeeee's

I have pictures, some had me in stitches.
Most will stay in the vault, not my fault.
To post could cause a revoult.

Hooooo heee hoooo hoooo wooooo oooooow!!!!

In the next day or so I shall sort me thang, ding dang.... dong.
I will try not to rhyme this time, or make it sound like a rap, hot stepper, hand me some pepper. The KB rallies a keeper, grim reeper, a rally in a vally, much better than TV.

Kick it, make me sick.
Out.

[Goblin]

Holiday is over, back to reality.

Had an awesome time. Cant wait for the next one!

Huge thanks to Daffyd for organising the venue and Chrissie and Tom for all the work they put into it. You guys rock! :rockon:

Clocked up around 4000kms for the whole trip and the chrome actually got him home!:woohoo:

...HUH? you mean up n down not side ways... why? brass monkey badge has changed many a time
Some of us fear the unfamiliar, change is bad mkay.

But picture wise, the two notable things from the trip are the view as you come over the hill to the bay, and the cave which I suspect wouldn't translate well to a badge picture.

[Ghost_Bullet]

The cave would be awesome, my sugestion, would be the cave, just a black badge with the writing on it. There ya go, no more worrying bout the picture, black with maybe a little white dot in the middle, as the entrance to the cave.... EH?

For me the first shot SANY0150a1.jpg epitomizes my signature recollection of the Catlins. When I first saw the shot I said to myself "I know where that is."
I checked my shot against this and it paled by comparison. I thought I had made a good image but I must defer to your superior talent.
This was a good shot.
This is now a great shot.
It would be a good badge photo.

He doesn't attend many ... he usually just goes past them, and keeps on going ....

I dont know about anybody else ... but a rally badge, for a rally you did not attend

is worth nothing ...

[Retroqueen]

Hey team!!!! Here I am... I know I know its taken awhile but well you know how it is. Anyway I've just spent some time reading through the thread and catching up on posts and having a hearty belly laugh!!

Looks like the Saturday night went really well and well yeah i was sorry i missed it!!!
Silly me:violin:

anyway now that things are almost back to normal I just want to post a few of my pics in here and thank each and everyone of you who was there and those since who have been to visit.

What a time to have a crash!!! We have such an awesome team when something like this happens and I just love "nurses" who ride and cops who ride and well just everyone who rides. I believe I made some fairly hairy statements while under the influence of whatever that stuff was that the ambo's gave me!!!

I had a great ride down with Neels on the day before and am so glad I decided against riding his bike home after lunch!!!

Well as most of you know my beautiful purple girl is no more. I consider myself to have been a very lucky girl to have come out with the small amount of body damage I had. Every sunny day that goes by and I can't ride, I'm reminded even more.
The good news is I have bought a new bike and I got a fair amount of ribbing at Woodstock for buying the same thing but I'm happy about that.
Let the pictures tell the story!!! See you all out there soon. Preferably on two wheels but a cage will do for awhile.
