We have had some spot prizes donated by Blue Wing Honda and Suzuki NZ for riders on the 4th RideSafe 350.

Both these companies supported the earlier RideSafe 350 runs - nice to see they still supports us.

Preentries are coming in steadily and all entrants so far have been posted info (if you have not got it yet it is in the mail)

Riiders are coming from as far afield as New Plymouth (so far anway).

Entries will be accepted on the day.

Lunch will be provided near midway on the ride. As with past 350 rides - we provide the makings and you make your own filled rolls, no complaints then that you dont like cheese or lettuce or whatever.

There is a badge being made, prentrants will be assured of getting theirs on the day, on the day entries may have to wait to get one mailed out if we run out.

If you get lost, tired , or just can't be bothered anymore you can return to the finsh at any time during the day.

Remeber this is a 350 MILE event. (600km)

Good to see a few small bikes giving this a go as well. Good on you.

Thanks to our sponsers - Motohaus tyres, Blue Wing Honda, Suzuki NZ,

anyone one else who would like to join them just contact me,

Hope to see you there on the day - RideSafe one and all

Is that 350 mile each way, or 350 mile round trip? ie does 350 mile get you back more or less to where you started, or after the 350 mile do you have to ride another 350 mile that day to get home?

And are there gravel roads on this or is it sprotsbike stuff ?

Alk to Alk 350 miles in total.

350 miles of gravel, I WISH :yes:

Go here for details http://www.rustynuts.co.nz/

[Lee Rusty]

it is a 350 mile ride from go to whoa.
Only gravel you will strike is if there is any roadworks.
But there are plenty of back roads you probably dont know about and will not have ridden before.

[Lee Rusty]

it is ot just sport bike stuff - it is for anyone who wants a go - previous runs have had a few 250s and smaller, and scooters.

Can be done as a group ride if you want to go with your mates.

[Scouse]

There is a badge being made, prentrants will be assured of getting theirs on the day, on the day entries may have to wait to get one mailed out if we run out.Lee RustyAnd can we get a big gold star and 10 Brownie Points

[Lee Rusty]

[Hellraiser]

[Lucyloo]

Me and 2 of my mates!

[TLDV8]

Is the "Start time 8.30am" the leaving time ? and can you pay when you turn up Sat morning :blip:

[Hellraiser]

I've heard that you can pay on the day.

[Lee Rusty]

Talking to Kerry today - Motohaus will open around 8am

Kerry has put up a new helmet to either raffle or auction on the day - Nice one
Also for the day and only for those on the ride he will give a special RUSTY NUTS discount of 15% on all the stuff in his shop.
If you are going on the ride it might be a good time to replace some gear etc - if you were not plannning on going - its a good reason to consider it.

Support those who support our sport, Blue Wing Honda and Suzuki NZ have both donated some spot prizes for those taking part.

No word yet from Yamaha, BMW and Kawasaki yet altho Kawasaki have supported this run in the past.

The course is challenging - the weather people say it will be fine , so get out and enjoy.

[TLDV8]

Um....I think you'll find it's on Sunday.

Errr..exactly,that will teach me for trying to think and type at the same time :laugh: ..... All i have to do now is change all the brake hoses back to stock for a WOF :wacko:

[Hellraiser]

Weather not looking good for Sunday, when & where will it be announced if the ride is postponed?

[Hellraiser]

Christ it's only a bit of rain! What are ya? Soft or sumfin? :lol:

Yep rain makes me srink

[Lee Rusty]

besides if we go to the next weekend it may be worse- mind you if we get torential rain for hours we will think about it.
forcast is for some showers only

[TLDV8]

Bump to the Top

The TL's ready to go..... A good opportunity also for newer riders looking to get some longer distances in,in a group ride environment ?

[Krayy]

Hey Lee,

How are you guys on late entries (on the day like)?

[Lee Rusty]

on the day is ok to entry but dont be too late or you wont be able to get around course.

as to group riding mentioned above - not on these roads - narrow - unmarked,
not the place to play in groups - ride your own ride - you wil see your mates at lunch time.
this is not a fast course -

[Krayy]

Bloody good ride. My report is here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=34253

Once again, thank you Mr Honda for making a great piece of kit.

[Henk]

Great day. Wet roads made things a bit interesting at times

[Hellraiser]

Apart from the rain it was a Great day ..... Many Thanks to the RNMC.

[johnny]

Thanks to Rusty !! Great riding experience for myself too!!

Special Thanks to Harry, Steve and Denies for guided me the whole way through, without you all i would be lose in the jungle.

[Lucyloo]

Thanks to all concerned for a great day. We didn't quite manage the full 350 miles but boy we had fun and lots of laughs.
Cheers.
