I see in the other thread, sum fella is askin for to be pillion, maybe this spit thing is his "calling":mega:, not sure he would fit the catagory of being a pig or sheep though, those creatures would be way more tasty than this one... :sick:


Swimming pool, spa, great location you say.... any chance of a :girlfight:??? (I just wanted an excuse to use that pic, just spotted it today) (stuff the pig, who's gonna bring jelly?):innocent:

[scumdog]

I'll be there fer sure - possibly both nights.
Not sure if CB will be there at the moment.

I'll bring a hog - I will arrive on it.

see post #14 Chris.. :yes:

[Oakie]

Well it is the 'KiwiBiker' get together. Can't see any harm a member bringing a non-member partner or regular riding buddy but it would be a shame if some KBers missed out on accommodation and the get-together because a heap of non-members became involved.
Personally speaking, it'll probably be our first KB overnighter so it would be nicer if all or most of the people there were people I'd already met online.

[The Lone Rider]

I'm expecting to be overseas and biking with my brother in December.

[xknuts]

Good point Oakie :yes: Speaking in terms of accommodation available.. I think it would depend on numbers of kiwibikers attending, as to whether "others" can be accommodated for.. or whether they would need to bring their tents! :girlfight:

What do others think about non kiwibikers coming????? :wait:

Awesome.. :Punk: thanks M!! :rockon:

[T.W.R]

What do others think about non kiwibikers coming????? :wait:

Non member partners are in a slightly different position to that of a riding buddy :yes:
Preference should be aimed at KB members and partners before the likes of riding buddies, riding buddies have the choice of becoming KB members at their own discretion and if their mates are already KB members they've definitely known about KB for a while.

If things go well this season I may have a load of Salmon on board to if anyone's into freshly smoked Salmon

Rang Gypsy at 'The Staging Post' today (03 319 2898) and booked a caravan at the site for myself and Mrs Oakie. Woo hoo! See y'all there.

Bugger Oakie.. I booked them both out ages ago.. in the original thread, the first 2 people to send me pm's about them.. got them... :yes: & the first post in this thread, also states they are both booked.. sorry dude!! :bye:

[Jantar]

No Oakie. It isn't on to go queue jumping like that. :nono:

Sorry guys. I didn't take that meaning from the first post. No queue jumping intended. :mellow:

Sorry if the first post wasn't clear.. :innocent: I have updated the first post on this thread (from the original post in the other thread) to make it clearer about the beds.. first in, on the day, gets the beds! :yes:

Please don't go ringing Gypsy to book.. :oi-grr: she's got enough to do already!!!

We have the majority of the camp.. but there is one area that will be kept separate for the "guided walks" people.. we will be quite separate from them!!! :yes:

Cheers everyone :Punk:

[Ghost_Bullet]

I think I will play it safe and just bring me tent, the more uses it gets the more worn it gets and the more I can justify buying a bigger lighter smaller tent.

[Bren]

Well, I have only met a couple of you fellas on KB so guess this is a good chance... Still lookin at gettin a set of wheels and the plan is to have somethin before the staging post weekend but if that dont go accordin to plan someone has already offered a pillion seat for me to plonk my arse on (ya know who u are and I thank you!).
The little woman(my wife) has said its okay for me to go so I am all in...lookin forward to it...

Good question, cos Doc has made the offer of a pig (not SD) to cook up... he will send it to Chch which is awesome but I dont fancy it as a pilion to the Post, in fact Doc p/med me this "Maybe Scumdog could help you know "a pig on a Hog bringing home the bacon"

Yup, looks like quite a load for the big red gravel express :yes:. Unfortunately our sleeping bags, tent & sleeping mats etc are all old = bulky. Modern, light, compact, quality, expensive stuff is in the budget for next years Brass but the $'s won't stretch that far at the moment espc just before xmas. :no: We'll sort summat out 'cos we're gonna be there :rockon:

SOUTH ISLAND - STAGING POST DOO
: Kaikoura (approx 50ks North, over the Hundalee's & up the coast.. an awesome ride BTW!! ).. or Cheviot (approx 20ks south)
Jen :rockon:

This wouldn't be that little place; That is a township near the junction of the Waiau and Leader rivers. Hurunui district on S.H. No 1. 14km north of Cheviot, 65km South West of Kaikoura. 132km north-east of Christchurch. Primary school . Farming district. Takes its name from the sheep run taken up there by pioneer,runholder and classical scholar, Edward James Lee who named his station after Parnassus, a mountain (2457m) revered by the ancient Greeks as the abode of Apollo and the Muses, near the ancient Greek city of Delphi.

or is it the turn off before that one ?

No railway crossings near there.. tis all the new open section of road. :yes: Check out the map that GB put up..

Bling for that one. Absolutey. I wonder how many salmon fishers we have on KB. Might post a poll. Maybe a day out on the river somewhere this coming season??

Think there may be 1 or 2 of us floating around the site, though I do remember a long time ago one of the ChCh lads showing some interest in actually getting to know how to do it. So a poll/ curiousity check would be interesting to see. Could be a good way to drum up some interest in Salmon and maintaining the world class resource before the rivers get screwed beyond repair.

[Bren]

My fishing days are over since i left the ex (used to go fishin to get away from the bitch), but for a good charity might be able to get back into it...Ghost Bullet might be able to catch a few Kahwai up at Kaikoura or somewhere...last time i went with him he caught the fish and I caught snags and a seagull!!!:mad:

I'd be quite interested in having a dabble myself. Been wet fly fishing for trout out at Lake Brunner a fair bit, but never been salmon fishing before. Still, I find salmon rather tasty, so it'd be worth a crack! :yes:

[The Lone Rider]

If I go overseas it'll be nearer Christmas now.

So I am going, and if I go then you can possibly expect another 2-7 people coming with me on their bikes.

I am hoping to have one of those nice compact travel guitars by then to. Strap it to my back and ride! :D

[MyGSXF]

Couple of notes..

BRING YOUR TENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as there are already 31 names on the list!!! & beds are not guaranteed!!!!!!!!! :no:

The new brown building in the first lot of pics.. is not available for us.. it has to be kept separate in case there are walkers booked in on the Kaikoura coastline guided walks.

There is a pig & lamb being supplied for the spit roast.. these are a treat, but will not however "feed everybody".. you will need to BRING YOUR OWN FOOD also!!! :Punk:

There is a good kitchen & bbq's. & EVERYONE will be expected to help clean up before departing on the Sunday.. otherwise.. :spanking: & we may not be allowed back!!!!!!!! :oi-grr:

[MyGSXF]

Hey J,

Dunno C.. I think it's just gotta be first in first served.. the logistics of trying to "allocate a certain bed to a certain person/people".. would be a nightmare.. :argh: (one that I sure ain't gunna take on...:oi-grr: neither is Gypsy..) I reckon we will be looking at 50-60 people easy, by the time Dec 7th rolls round.. :shit:


What do others think.. about the "original" crew from Otematata 06.. getting the beds first?????? :spudwhat: or just stick with "first in on the day, gets a bed"???? & the rest tent it... whether you are an "original Crew" or not...:wait:

As previously mentioned.. Gypsy does NOT want people ringing her wanting to "book" beds either people!!! :nono: & if ya are cheeky enough to do that.. she will put ya on to me anyway.. :bleh:

[scumdog]

As somebody not as young as some and being an 'original KB camp out' member and having one of the longer distances to travel I would like the idea of being allocated a proper bed for m'self&CB.

However I ain't throwing a tissy-fit if there ain't one.

I would prefer a bed (bunk) or what ever after haul up the coast... but if I have to camp in a tent well... <_< :doh:

If you check out JEN's profile you are not going to need a bed for the night . This lady doesn't sleep. Or doesn't put up with any crap . So just be there and do what she tells you to do. OK we are just males.

Thats a good point. Carting bedding and tent etc all the way from Dunedin/Southland etc is not much fun if it can be avoided... Will there be any allocation for those of us attending from further away.

Carrying tthe luggage is not a problem, not different than going on any other rally...

Ok I will admit it... I would just prefer a bed, after a longish haul... there I said it.

[MyGSXF]

Geez.. Harden up people!!! :bleh: Once ya tent/bedding etc is strapped on ya bike.. it's no problem!!! Like NH said.. "not different than going on any other rally"

Crikey, I did a 3000km, 11 day trip end of last year.. with a fully ladened bike & only used said tent/bedroll ONCE!!! :rolleyes:

[Delphinus]

Geez.. Harden up people!!!

Weren't you moaning a few months ago that Otematata was too far away :P

[MyGSXF]

Weren't you moaning a few months ago that Otematata was too far away :P


lols.. I was there last Dec for the KB Doo!! :2thumbsup WITH a fully ladened bike.. having travelled (the long way round.. via ChCh, Timaru, Omarama, Wanaka, Queenstown, Lawrence & back to Otematata :shutup: AND my bloody toy is only a 400!!!!! :baby: ) from Nelson... where were you!! :girlfight:

This is why we have decided to try & make these doos fair for everybody.. by having them nearer the top end of the Island one year.. then the bottom end of the Island the next year!! So each year one lot travel further.. then next year, that lot don't have to go far.. & visa versa! :msn-wink:

Can't please all the people all the time..

I think it said 'first in, first served' at the start of the thread so lets leave it at that huh?

Perhaps next time the beds can be allocated to those who register first so everyone will know where they stand (or lie) right from the start. I mean, it's gotta be a pain lugging a tent up and back 'just in case'.

Oakie's got it right that's the way it should be this time IMHO. In fact preference should be given to those who went last year.

This is true, we christened the initial southern KB get together and instigated this event and most likely will the following ones as well so there should be a preference :cool:

[MyGSXF]

The sentence in the very first post said "As for the beds.. it will be, find your bed when you get there! First in first served"

So basically that means.. those that get there first.. on the Friday are gunna be the ones that get beds.. :yes:

of the 31 names on the list.. only 11 so far are original members from last year.. some have made no comment so far.. & some may not know if they can make it this year till very late in the piece.. :bye:

The other point is.. if a member from last year brings their partner this year.. does that partner then qualify for a bed????? & then another kb'r who WAS there last year.. misses out on a bed... do you see how messy it can all get!!?? :wacko: I sure as hell ain't gunna try & sort it all out & allocate people to specific beds.. in specific cabins with specific people.. :oi-grr: ya's can just bloody well fight it out on the day!!!! :girlfight:

I say.. stick to the original post.. "As for the beds.. it will be, find your bed when you get there! First in first served" the rest tent it!!! :baby:

POSSIBLY going up SH1 due to time constraints - but got 5 or so days to get home so may go to Motueka to visit my bro - after a night at Hanmer to rid myself of the excesses of the Staging Post weekend.:niceone:

[laRIKin]

Well we got asked more than once if we are going to this at the Birthday Party for KB.

Unfortunately SDU is working so can not make it, but is trying to get the Magpie weekend off.
For the rally and the main reason is we want to go down South to say good bye to a friend and help spread that friends ashes on the Sunday.

I will weather permitting do at least a day trip to the Staging Post on the Saturday.
You knows I may stay. (can I Boss?)

So I could hook up with any Southern bikes heading up or could go around the block and meet up with the West Coast route riders.
As this goes passed my old friends house. (sounds real good at this moment)
But it is going to be strange not to pop in for a chat.

[FREE2B]

sounds like a plan indeed ... when do you think you will come over to the coast then???

[laRIKin]

I will have to leave early to meet up with you guys and I was thinking that you would not be leaving until about 9-10 O'clock
Saturday morning.
So I would leave home at about 6 and should get there in 3 hrs.

I think that I will be up for a coffee and something to eat, before I carry on with the trip as I will be riding non-stop there.

You're asking the guy who doesn't usually decide to go on a run until the day!
Umm...at this stage I'm thinking of taking the tent and staying at the camping ground.
Prolly do breakfast in town...I'm sure we could organise it closer to the time or on the day.
Won't be far away whatever.
