I'm sorry, did you say 20,000 bikes!? thats 20 x 10 to the power of 3 right? Holy crap, and I thought the toy runs and such I've been on were doing well with 200 or 300 bikes...damn...

Too many bikes in S.A.!!!
I like the slightly smaller rallys. 6 is a good example, just as darkman found out last weekend.

By the way Darkman, A very nice example of a CBR11000!!! :niceone:

Give me a PM if you want me to look at your alarm, I will look at reprogramming your existing one, I can probably get it sussed for next to nothing.

20,000 i'm sure we don't have that many road bikes in nz.
unless we throw in quads and farm bikes.

WOW! Thats Impressive.
There happens to be the Sulphur City Rally this weekend,( Rotorua) more of a mini-rally by comparison.

I'm headed over to SA in December for a holiday.
Don't think I'll be allowed to do any motorbiking though :(

Have they heard of motorbikes in the Klienemond? (sp)

Hello Darkman... Welcome to KB. :niceone:

I remember those toy runs and rallies where thousands and thousands of bikers turned up.

There are great rallies in NZ, not the same size of a Rhino or Swallow, but still great events.

Take care out there and huve fun!
