Yep, the date is in my diary.
It will be my first rally ever.
Should I drink? How drunk should I get? Should I bring my own secret stash of booze, or is it not kosher to do that?

Bring your own 'secret stash' and share it with me, as long as it's bourbon or tequila you'll be OK...

Seriously, it's YOUR booze, bring what you want, share if you want or keep it to yourself, whatever you do it's OK, after all it IS a bike rally....the last bastion of freedom in this over-PC'd world..

Drink & get drunk! Never happens. Secretly after the event a certain person is known to blow the notion that "Whats on tour stays on tour". Unfortunately it is usually him as the main culprick! Maybe he has a secret stash that he mixes with his 12% Woody.

Sigh... I sent my prepay on the 6/2/08 and I still haven't recieved it (cheque hasn't even been presented yet) :(

It is a HOG show after all. If the tent blows down, it wont blow away. Harleys do have their uses.

Woodybee, As far as I'm aware there is NO FRIDAY NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT at this Rally. Its a Saturday night only affair. :calm:

[Jantar]

I am hoping like hell that I won't be able to make this year's rally. But at this stage it looks very likely that I will be there. :scooter:

[NighthawkNZ]

Woodybee, As far as I'm aware there is NO FRIDAY NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT at this Rally. Its a Saturday night only affair. :calm:
To the best of my knowledge Friday night is HOG members only (I think) and then opened to every one on Saturday either that or I am thinking of a different rally


I am hoping like hell that I won't be able to make this year's rally. But at this stage it looks very likely that I will be there. :scooter:

errrr haven't you got that round the right way.... :scratch: (Think about it)

Woodybee, As far as I'm aware there is NO FRIDAY NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT at this Rally. Its a Saturday night only affair. :calm:Ehhhh :argh: that's a long way to come for ONE night. I've been thinking about heading down Friday and back Sunday, but I wouldn't bother for one night. Can someone confirm if this is correct?

[NighthawkNZ]

...errrr haven't you got that round the right way.... :scratch: (Think about it)

No, I got it the right way round. I am hoping I'll have my next operation on my shoulder by then. If that happens I won't be riding for 8 - 12 weeks. But if I haven't had the operation, then I'll be at my first rally since the PP last year. :woohoo:

[xknuts]

Off the Rails is the Shearing shed rally which means no matter what the weather the bar and entertainment venue are undercover. :rockon::banana:

Gus, the publican @ Beaumont assures me that that will never happen again. Sheepshit left to harden on an unwashed bike is a MAJOR PROBLEM! :angry2:

[scumdog]

[geoffc]

Great venue, had a great time and enjoyed meeting in person other KB's. Look forward to the 2009 rally. Cheers :rockon:

[Jantar]

It was another great event, even if a Nighthawk did keep me up to some ungodly hour. I believe we were the last ones up in the whole camp before heading to our tents at around 4:15 am. Just as well the clocks went back an hour to 3:15.

[Jantar]

Everything looked a bit hazy this morning though. I had a rather subdued ride home.

I was just waiting the free feed left overs... Free2b and Xknuts missed out... they only needed to wait 5 more minutes :blink:

[scumdog]

Nice to see y'all hada great time!! And SO photogenic to!

I am still recovering from Far Queue, Ghost Bullet and Mr Sensible 'inflicting' themselves upon me at Chez Scumdog - you should see the surprise the offered me in compensation.

(No doubt the presentation pics will be posted in due course)

Hey, on pic. 4 there is what looks like baked beans on Ghost Bullets jeans - was there another incident of "The Amazing Exploding Can of Beans"??????:eek:

[Jantar]

I did see some cans of some type of food being heated directly over a flame, but as far as I'm aware, nothing exploded.

Great to meet you GC, we had a blast, didnt we! Great riding with ya. Love that road, Kyeburn to Hyde.
A lovely afternoon was had by all. Bourbon, Camp brewed espresso (thanks Glen & Lynn), and Tequila shots with salt & lime = YUM also equals pissed by 4.00pm.

I don't believe we missed it, after all that waiting. No, you are pulling my tit!

PS; Free2be, Outback Al & I met Shek (Keith & Cathy) at Palmerston. He saw the Custard Tart and spied us out. Had a great catch up.:woohoo:

[Ghost_Bullet]

The whole weekend was a ripper. The ride down from Christchurch, through to Geraldine, Fairlie, Omarama, Otamatata (pop in to see the recovering Oldrider) back to Omarama, Alex', Laurence, Milton and "Chez Scummy" for the night. And a great night it was to. I retired early due to over wearyness hitting me. Waking to blazing sun.

One Farq waking late, (hard nite it seems).
Making our way out through Outrum, and over those splendid hills to Middlemarch, The winding road meanders over crest's to reveals expances of beauty! The road surface itself was a little off-putting, not knowing if the centre of the lane was loose, ripples in the road, making the bike feel a little loose.

The rally did it's thing. No wind this year, that sure helped, awesome speaking to the old and new faces of KB and other random humans about the paddock of rock's.
Waking to a frost and a Ball of fire poking it's head over the hill.
It was a crisp 4 degree C ride over to Macraes Flat. Where we stopped to take in the monster of a hole in the ground where gold is being extruded. And the extreme trucks and all other machinery doing thier thing to move the earth from one spot to another.

The ride home was straight but relieving when lunch happened at the "Checkered Flag"
Bikes coming in from both directions, as the Sundown was held north of Chch.

Leg over the steed for the haul home.
Greeted riding though the gate with a kiss from the soft lips of Mrs Bullet, and giant hugs from the kiddy Bullets.

Always nice to get away to these gigs, and ever so nice to get home.
The Brass will soon be here, but pleased it is almost a couple of months away.

Thanks people.
Pictures will show up in a day or so.

I'm all recovered now, although I'd have to admit I was feeling a bit slow on Sat morning! Thanks very much to you and CB for the usual great show of southern hospitality.

GB's got the pics of the presentation, but in the meantime here's the item that was presented ...

[far queue]

Great ride, great weather, fantastic roads, and amazing scenery. I had to slow done a few times to take in the awesome views … wow. I must get down there again sometime, but on the adventure bike next time and have a better look around, and takes lots of photo’s.

Oh, and the rally was great too and again in a great setting.

Here’s some pics of things …

1 Food stop on the way to the rally on Saturday
2 The rally site
3 The shearing shed - 150 years old that very day
4 The site from from near the shearing shed
5 The site at breaky time this morning
6 McCraes mining site. That's a BIG truck - look at the ute that's following it for comparison.

[far queue]

... and here’s some people pics …
7 Mr S and GB talking shit as usual and they've got a portaloo each to do in!
8 Big Eat's at 3 paces - GB looking for revenge and Mr S saying "WTF, don't point that thing at me"
9 GB, the intrepid photographer always looking at life from a weird angle
10 WTF where's his arms gone? The Thalidomide kid!
11 The intrepid tourists at McCraes mining site

[T.W.R]

:lol: I'm sure SD & CB would have a spare set of cuffs :rolleyes:

Hey Dudes and Dudess's

Loved your rite up Ghosty, and fab to run into you guys again, feels like we all are top mates eh.......

Well here goes the write up, Stopped at a mates on Friday night to be greeted by 4 folks who were also stopping all of whom I know and have partied on with before, so fish and chips and beer were done, Kiss were played (The host Andy and I were at Rock to wellington, and creamed ourselves whilst Kiss were playing live, so we relived the moment, listening not creaming this time though!!:innocent:

Waking up to an a water coloured, vibrant bllue Dunedin Sky was breathtaking and heartwarming, so we collected a few more dudes........and I knew them too, the tiny bike I was hooning around on at Vincent :ride:was one of theirs, so that was great to rekindle their friendship.

We hooned all the way there, the speeds picked up, did a saucy overtake at one point, which calmed me down, but frigging hell its like a big dipper :eek:riding to Middlemarch eh, with breathtaking and heart pulsating drops, and the scenery as per normal knocks this pom sideways, and agreed Far Que, you have to slow down to take the view in don't you.

Lots of beer stops, set up camp, and said hi, to Zaria, Nighty and Jantar, IDB arrived and we boarded his trusted stead to hoon around some more......ha love his ducatti.........:Punk:

The night was good, the band were hmmmmmm, not their best think thats fair to say, but wasn't as pissed as normal, so watched antics rather than performing them myself this time............so roll on Beaumont for back to normal no medication and drinkathons.

Arose to the site of 6 people left on site, and got another to join the last man standing brigade, which was the host of Friday night, IDB ane me. We got all the burners going with stacks of brekky.:niceone:yummy

The sun shone, on the way home, we said Goodbye to Andy at Ranfurly after settling down far to long nestling some beers.:drinkup: Had the most fantastic feed at (scuse the spelling......) aturehura. Cod and Chips, curried pasta, potato salad with salad and even water melon.........wow:)

Fuck I loved the ride there and the ride back. Thank you to the :sunny: god for doing its thing.

I have the most fantastic time at this rally, its always a knockout..........

Thanks to the organisers, and I lost my speights beanie......amnesty and reward offered.

Cheers all, fab bunch of kbers you, think you are all great, and happy huggy birthday again Free2b.

And for the record mind wasnt this weekend its Brass Monkey, still debating whether to piss it up in Dunedin or Alex on the Friday night.................hmm decisions decisions:scratch:

HEY WOODY HOWS IT HANGIN :whistle]
Hey dudess it hangs pretty well mate, off to a singles ball with two gorgeous men on my arms tommorow, both bikers, but neither kbers, so putting on my finest (one and only) black slinkly curve hugging dress, taking a couple of hours to get ready, will swing my gorgeous slinkly shawl around my shoulders to go and make the Invercargill girls blood boil, as I have no problem with being single at all, and do love the desperate looks that a lot of:2thumbsup single chicks have, and cant wait to see the longing on those dropkicks guys as well.

Seriously though it should be a laugh, and to be honest to act like a lady once in a while wont hurt me i guess:devil2:

Hey dudes and dudess's to those I love the most, have yourselves a fun and frollicky weekend.

Will do a threa about the singles ball on Sunday or Monday. Wa Wa Wa.

Actually last time I went on something like this, I got chatting to a chikc as the guys were anoracks there, and she is now one of my bestest friends back in the UK, and a few months later, got her chatting to a bloke who she is about to marry in 15 days time.

Whick opens the question what the fuck am I doing wrong.

Woodybee.....Infact being single is a thread I am going to pen just now.
