March Hare Rally

[big block]

Hi guys, been a keen reader for a few years and only just joined, I have searched and can see no real info/threads on here about next months March Hare. I travelled from Brisbane in 2009 for it and loved it apart from the rain on way back to Dunedin- so have booked and paid again this year (purposely coincides with a work trip). I have family in Dunedin that I will be riding with but have a couple of questions:

* What is the best day trip to do on the Saturday (Tekapo is without a doubt my fav place)?
* Who from here is going?
* What is the long range forecast going to be like? - I first moved to Australia in 1989 so am not really accustomed to the cold weather.

Thanks in advance

The forecast, um weather...

http://metservice.com/rural/canterbury-plains Try that link it is as good as any.

Day trip, Tekapo is good and you could make it circuit taking in the Benmore dam and Fairlie.

Who is going is a secret, cant tell you would have to kill you etc, nah you will work it out if not have a good time anyhow.

Could lend you a tent, a couple of camp stretchers and a couple of sleeping bags, if cruza doesn't mind sticking them in his wagon for a ride down....

Plan on being there for saturday night, although nothing is definate when you live in the shaky city....

Am in Oamaru mate,if you want to send them down by all means sing out,am working Friday so plan on heading up to Waimate and spending Saturday night at the Rally myself.You can always leave the tent etc at ours after the Rally and i could send them up to you.

Am working on wife.I made mistake of telling her most rallies were quite mild and only the March Hare had much in the way of wet tee and more.I shoulda kept mouth shut I told her this years ago but she has good memory.If I convince her I may grab a 2 man tent and bring it along.My 6 man tent I use with trailer is 11kg.Little 2 man one would be worth bringing if i can find one cheap.

Mate you tell her from me shes nothing to worry about re the "wet tee",from that pic id say shes a better than fair chance of winning it.:laugh:

The wet tee is usually a comedy show, and the wet jock comp was just so hilarious and worth seeing last year! :laugh:

It worked High 5

Update wifey now keen and we will buy a 4 man 3.9kg tent and bring our sleeping bag and get 2 lightweight role mats.Carry the gear all way round the trip and camp a couple of times during the 2 weeks.This will give us lighter gear for the future bike trips and larger gear to use when we take our van.Its going to be a fat trailer load lol but this will save about 15kg weight on our current camping gear.

Not only will she camp a March hare ill have lighter gear for bike trips and she is under the impression that its a long term solution to going camping with her sister and sisters children.If i was any more cunning idd grow a tail and you could call me a weasel.

[dangerous]

At the moment the only time I have for leaving is 9am, now that could be a bit early
But around 10am from the Yauldhurst tavern car park would be a starting point , leaving at 10.30.
I think your little 400 would just pootle along nicely with my little 250, all the biger guys may get board slowing down for us Jen.
So if there are any others want to take a slow route down, Take the inland route, Methvin, Mount Somers, Geraldine, Fairly, Cave, Waimatie,
Sumthing like that eh ?
Or is the 1pm meeting time what you looking at Jen, with Monty and co?

Because the popo's are being harassed by the govt to harass bikers,
And with no license on the XS, or the wrong class,
I run the risk of walking and having to wait 28days to collect whats left of her from the impound yard.
So the lesser of the two evils is to comply, and have fun at the same time....
Yeah the inland route as you said, with or with out company Thats where I will be going

We are just taking state highway 1 strait down there :yawn:

Hope the weather stays this good for the ride down, enjoy that inland route! Im hungover already, had a few (too many) bourbons last nyt getting the bikes all sorted. And secretly its my stag do this weekend so i can see me being very very hungover by sunday:wacko:

Well today would be a great day to be riding south, pity I have to work for a living.

Heading down tomorrow sometime, weather looks a bit iffy early so will have to see how it turns out, forecast looks not to bad for the proceedings later though. At least if it's raining on the way down it'll save me having to wash the bike.

Anyone else heading down tomorrow?

[98tls]

Just set to leave Oamaru and what does it do but piss down,still as the rallys only 20 minutes away i wont bother complaining...:2thumbsup

Had a great weekend, survived both nights, even kept warm and dry! but :Oops: forgot the damn milk! Thanks to all that made it a great first rally! Can't wait to get my voice back to normal ....sang a little to much me thinks.

[neels]

Well that was fun.

Nice ride down on sat arvo after waiting for the weather to pass over, a bit cold in waimate but no rain of any consequence.

A good night on saturday night, the band didn't really get the crowd going but the company was good, and the bonfire was warm.

Cruisy ride back today with cruza, jen and subike, now time to sort the gear out and an early night I think.

[Subike]

That was a nice relaxing stress free weekend
Thanks to the others I shared with, great time peoples.
Good company and good laughter,
My little plastic fantastic scooter handled the distance quite well,
But not at any speed above 110kph, as expected really.

[cruza]

That painting was pretty awesome aye subike , few guys be happy to have that hanging on the wall of their garage eh.

[JMemonic]

sorry to say it Monty, but you need to learn how to do a burn out.
The Harley won because he did a burn out,
not thrash the fuck out of a poor bike.

[98tls]

Go the wee SV, nice work.

[98tls]

Had a laugh Friday afternoon ,leaning on the fence talking to Subike i see a couple of mates turn up on TLs,they park up in an empty space with the closest group being a huge tent inhabited by hardcore Harley guys,i set off to say gidday and as i do 1 hardcore Harley guy manages to propel himself and :eek5:his huge fucking gut outta the huge tent and proceed to tell my mates to move as wants the space left for more of similar heritage:yawn:arrogant fat fuck so i turn up and say to my mate "dont park those 2 TLs next to these heaps of shit put your tents up over there" which they did.Arrogant fat fuck gave me the death stare and dragged his knuckles back to the tree,:tugger:

I didnt see you up there doing a burnout mate??
The harley did a mean burnout, i just thought Ben on the buell did a better job. I never said the sv should have won?.... And I didnt take the SV up there to prove a point, it was one of my stag do challenges to blow a tyre, I just put it in 6th and didnt take the revs past 8-9000 rpm (redline is 11) and about half throttle, as to NOT "thrash the fuck out of it".... To the harley riders that would sound like thrashing it tho. :killingme

[Subike]

Maybe not there Monty, but have done elsewhere
some good some bad,
Had the wrong bike at the March to do it

aye remember it well even when your bike was on its side & still on the red line & along with Q's 12% woody hand grenades, pig on the spit it was a night to...... :scratch: what happened again :laugh:

lol, and that engine still pulls burnouts, redlines in all gears, at 32 years and 170ks+ old
Lets see a post 1990 bike do that
Ralleys eh, a place for us all to play.
Lets all have to good riding skills to avoid the crazy cagers and see many more in the years to come.

[mossy1200]

Back from tour some shots from rally

[dangerous]

sorry, but... ohh no Im not... I just dont see the fun in burn outs, its non skilled and lacks any kind of tallent and Im fucked if I know why any one would wont to treat their bike in such a way, engine parts getting beyond their max temp, paint getting fucked and rubber melting in and around suspension, exhaust, tails... and then theres the wires cutting the shit out of everything in its way... for what? the foul smell of rubber :tugger:
And one day a chain will break and cut the twit in half standing behind the bike :rolleyes:


... ohh wait, it usually involves booze or the lack of handling it and the need to prove, prove ummm, how powerfull ones cock, I mean bike aint?

[Subike]

Fair enough call Dan from your side of the wall
But there is a skill in doing a decent burnout, although what it is you obvious don't know.
yup, some do "thrash the shit" out their bikes trying to do one,
yup, drink quite often is involved in the lead-up to doing one
yup, damage to the rear of the bike can occur when tires let go and the belts start to fly
Nope engines don't get damaged if done properly,
Nope chains don't break, under less stress than on a race track.
Body damage does occur, but not as much as a road racer dropping it, pulling the same revs, after 5 bourbons or 7 jugs and thinks he is a rossie .
At least after a burnout, an acc form does not need to be forwarded if it all goes wrong.

[dangerous]

But there is a skill in doing a decent burnout, although what it is you obvious don't know.Ya shitting me right? push the frount wheel up to a solid object (easy) stand up (most can from 1years of age) put in gear (basic riding ability) open tap (really?) dump clutch (ohhh look Im so cool) skill??? :nya: :whistle:


Nope chains don't break, under less stress than on a race track.na man, seen em do it many a time, including on the track (nearly wore one in the sweed from a CB1100F once, just crusing at a hundie we were)


At least after a burnout, an acc form does not need to be forwarded if it all goes wrong.Like I said a chain or belt can let go and what about the flying HOT balls of melted rubber and steel belt fragments? huh huh well Mr ;) been hit my self at rallys from hot rubber (DUH I blame the booze for getting me up there) :weep:

Yep yep correct but still worth a photo lol.Not my bike wouldnt do it myself.
And yes all the bikes lost wiring from brake lights tail lights and paint heat damage and numberplates melted.
I didnt try standing behind the bikes as burning rubber doesnt do it for me.

[dangerous]

any ways... this is a burn out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz2Oh_DGo7M&feature=related

at around 2.25 ole/younger Subike got he's rear in a flap!!!! LOL... back in the good ole days.... KB rally Two-2007

I dont see the embedded clip, but click on the link and ya can veiw directly yeah.

[miSTa]

Jeez that clip looked familiar and I wasn't even there! Drunken yobos...



As for the Hare, yeah I was there. Wondered around, had a bit of yarn with some of the chch crew and even caught up with mossy1200 and his other half.

The Sunday ride home was great, stopped at Benmore dam for a wonder around - not a lot of stones for skimming on the water. Lake Pukaki was much better...and even had a cloud free view of Mt Cook.

A quiet weekend but a good one.

[mossy1200]

That would be my wife .Be careful thats how rumours start.Im straight

[miSTa]

You should have said you were a planker...Ghostie's a planker too, you could've had a mutual planking session...:innocent:

Im not a planker it just happened.I still dont know why.

[SVboy]

The words MISTA used about Ghostie only sounded like planker!

[mossy1200]

I didnt touch it it just went off.Honest

[orsem]

Gutted I didn't have internet access (due to shifting house)to find out who was attending the Hare. Still newish to KB and getting to grips with putting names to faces at rallies.

Headed down for the saturday night with a mate and had a good time :banana: even managed to drink enough to get up on the stage for the ladies tattoo comp (pleased there doesn't seem to be any photos floating round :sweatdrop

[cynna]

which one in the tat comp were u? might help us put a name to a face....

[FJRider]

which one in the tat comp were u? might help us put a name to a face....

Depends where the tat was ... you may not have noticed the face ... :innocent:

[Subike]

Depends where the tat was ... you may not have noticed the face ... :innocent:

sorry to disappoint you trev,
the tats that were on display were all above the waistline
If you had been there you would know that

[orsem]

I was the first one on stage with the tatts that covered my back, plus tatts on my right arm and leg.......the winner did the down trou (a big crowd pleaser)....she had a tatt on her thigh..........third place had an assortment which I didn't get to see.
