Now haud yer wheesht!

[Jantar]

Damn, I cant vote because I'm equally happy with most of those suggestions. How about making it a multi vote poll so we simply don't vote for the ones we don't wasnt. You know, like we did last year.

Voted Greymouth just to try and get a ride..:niceone:Naseby is nice but not much further than the dairy.<_<

You could always ride to Naseby via Tautuku?

[Okey Dokey]

Hi Guys! This here noob just cast a vote for Naseby. This would be my first ever Kb rally and it would be really cool to meet some of you characters "live".

Chose Naseby because it does seem fair to honour the north-south tradition that has begun, and it sounds a good spot with plenty of interesting trip options available. Thanks to McJim for getting the pole up.

Cheers.

[FJRider]

lets have a "practice" south island rally, just because we can.

lets have a "practice" south island rally, just because we can. All for it mate but lets make it at the other end of the isle,sick of everything being as close as the local dairy,went to the March Hare and swear the bike wasnt even warmed up when i got there.

Sounds like a PLAN in the making. Big things have come from sillier suggestions. ANY idea's from those that WILL go to it. I vote KARAMEA

Naseby sounds pretty good to me.

[Skyryder]

Where't the follow the leader I'm lost option??

[FJRider]

We need a START POINT, start TIME and A DATE. Follow the leader it (may) be. The plan has STARTED.

[scumdog]

Voted Naseby - after the visit there with Steam, CB and Nighthawk it confirmed my thoughts.

Hopefully Nighthawk willpost some pices on the "Not Hororata but the sussing out...." thread.

[McJim]

So it looks like Naseby so far .....now, where the F*ck is Naseby?
(edit) okay found it. Can get there via Alex so just a wee bit further than the Vincent.

Yep, about 3/4 hour from Alex.

[Ripperjon]

Naseby seems like a good place.

I was gonna say Fox cos i hadn't heard of Naseby but Google Earth revealed how close Naseby is.

Is there a date set for the rally?

(:cold:)

[SVboy]

I have never ridden the Pig route. How does that rate as a ride-assuming no ice and grit. Is there still at grit that time of year?

[scumdog]

Have a look at the other thread on the Naseby site in the 'Otago' section, it starts "Not the Hororata but sussing out the '08 KB......".

[Mr Triple]

Naseby sounds good to me, I don't mind the ride through the pig route.
Svboy yea it's a great ride you'll like it.:banana:

[Skyryder]

Should I bring my fishing rod.:Oi:

[McJim]

Thanks to McJim for getting the pole up.

Cheers.

there's something not quite right about being thanked by a female I don't know "for getting the pole up" :rofl:

[Biggles2000]

Naseby is a nice place but I did fall off on black ice going in there a few years ago.

Don't knock it until you've tried it! :shifty: God's still turning out some bloody impressive chicks! :lol: Apparently. :confused:

I thought motorcyclists liked taking (calculated) risks. :devil2: John.

[Ruralman]

Naesby sounds like a good location to me - lots of great sealed roads to get there and plenty of good gravel options for the adventure KB'rs.

I was going to check out the Pleasant Valley camp just South of Palmerston as well when I'm past there next week (and maybe this week) as I think the facilities might line up well to what we need.
Our first gathering went well in the shearers quarters but the numbers will be too many from now on for that sort of accommodation (we had 25 that first year I think)

Has there been a venue in Naesby identified as suitable?

Theres plenty of time yet so its not critical we pick the venue if theres a good alternative comes up is it? The key thing seems to be enough accommodation for about 40, an area or the whole thing to ourselves so we can be noisy without pissing others off, decent showers and cooking facilities and preferably close to a pub for those who want to buy a meal and for some supplies. A bonus would be a stereo we can plug an MP3 player into.

The other essential is some interesting roads for a group ride or just getting there and back - apart from mid Canterbury the rest of the South Island can usually do that OK!

[Mikkel]

Dunno what's so cool about Naseby - never been there. Seems like the only sane way there would be either over Lindis or Haarst pass - down the coast is dreadful.

I'd say a venue where cabins is a viable option would be important for me - I don't have the carrying capacity to take tent, mattress, sleeping bag, etc.

[Ghost_Bullet]

Well still some time away... but still looking forward to this one where ever may be, I think in another Sth KB gig thing I said about a potential venue over Fox Glacier that I may have been able to secure for this year or next. But circumstances currently mean that family may not have long term interests in the property I was thinking of. Which is a bugger, as It would have been purfect!!!!

Never mind though.
If this Naseby place is the chosen place for this year.... we must ensure that we make a destination on the West Coast of this mighty mainland at some stage... fabulous scenery, roads, people, and just great time's.

Yea.

[scumdog]

I was going to check out the Pleasant Valley camp just South of Palmerston as well when I'm past there next week (and maybe this week) as I think the facilities might line up well to what we need.!

Now there's a spot I hadn't thought of!!!!
Handy to Palmerston (and the Pig Route) amd has a large 'bungalow' type building with open fire-place and kitchen etc plus there's other cabins. (I'm going from memories of being there about 20 years ago with the hot-rod club)

Drop in next time you're passing there Bruce and see how it would suit.

[Dave-]

naseby is a great spot, I'd be keen for that, use to go there a bit for ice hockey, 4wding and just general family trips.

[oldrider]

It's not on the list so how are we going to vote for it!

Time is marching on, I remember how quickly December came round last year.

Lets make a decision and start the planning. :shifty:

There will be other years other options! :yes: Cheers John.

[McJim]

Well I was only able to put on the list the names people told me to.

I did my best....I was trying to help (and I did get my pole up!:devil2:) :(

[idb]

Naseby doesn't appear to have anywhere with our demanding requirements but I am still trying to nail Wedderburn.
The last e-mail I got back from them was that they were in abusy time of year and would reply with costs etc as soon as.
It has been about three weeks now so I'll folllow up.

Look we know we need a venue down here, we all know the ride is very important but for this to work the destination has to provide what we need. It doesn't really matter whether thats Naesby, Palmerston Wedderburn or whatever - its going to be somewhere in this part of Otago and it is up to those of us who live down here to find something suitable. I don't think the rest give a rats arse where it is just as long as it works.
What was the agreed date?

Bling Bling Bling well said :calm: boys & girls :rofl:

[xknuts]

We all want a decent ride to our annual camp. Naseby from recent experience will not work at the "Larchview Holiday Camp" coz it will not only be for just us so we would have to consider others. :shit:
BUT I have been in contact with "FOX LODGE" just out of Fairlie off the Geraldine road. It leads in to Fox's Peak skifield. The lodge sleeps 35 - 40 persons. It has 5 separate Doublebed rooms, a family room with 2 Doubles & 6 bunks, a 15 bunk dorm, a 9 bunk dorm, & a 6 bunk dorm.
I have pencilled in for 5/6/7 December 2008.
You wind in around Lake Opua, right @ the monument then 5 kms of gravel on the county road, then through the gate for another 10 kms of shingle.

Looks good to me and its pretty central for the whole SI - while I like the idea of having one on the West Coast this venue might have potential for repeat use.

I had a look on my way past today - you're right theres nothing there now so I would go with the Fox peak idea if we can get it. Keep up the good work XK

[Rashika]

ok... weeeeeell nice idea, but these are my feelings on the subject ...and only IMHO okay? ;)

a: I dont really fancy 15kms of gravel each way over a ski access road (a few kms is okay but thats kinda a lot and I reckon there are a few others who might be put off cos of it?), and the cost was $25 for a bunk (on the website that is?), which aint that cheap
b: tho its a good hike for most people (far north and south), its a shortish boring drag for the chch bunch, only the wee hill after Geraldine to give any interest ;)
c: I still fancy Naseby as a destination if there is anywhere near there?

[FJRider]

If you guys(esses) want a DECENT ride first weekend of Dec. Chatto Creek 1000 miler is usually on that weekend. So some of us MAY be a bit busy to attend. That is the W'end after the Burt Munroe Bash.

[Jantar]

The past two KB get-togethers have both been the second weekend in December. Like FJRider, I'll already have a 1000 mile ride planned for the first weekend in December.

I'm with you girlie, CB hasn't had that much gravel road riding - well not since 1979 and I ain't so keen on 20 miles of gravel neither.
And that location is not really in the southern part of the island compared to say Otematata.
But if that's the chosen spot we'll be there.:2thumbsup

[Oakie]

a: I dont really fancy 15kms of gravel each way over a ski access road (a few kms is okay but thats kinda a lot and I reckon there are a few others who might be put off cos of it?),

Um yeah. My thoughts too but I didn't want to be the first to air them.

Also, I think there was a general idea was that this one would be in the Otago somewhere so I guess a venue south of the Waitaki river would be the target area?

This is only an idea pencilled in,for reflection, & its ours if we want it! As nothing was forthcoming re Naseby / Danseys Pass we need to move on.

As a central meeting place its ideal, I agree that the gravel idea isn't perfect BUT the contact told me that in December the road will be hard n dry.
I agree the ride is shortish but Saturdays ride to a chosen destination is as long as we want, isn't it??

Well, at 3am in the morning of the 7th, somewhere in the dark of some (usually deserted)south island road, probably in the rain, a tad tired, stone COLD sober, WE will be thinking of you...Stoned WARM and pissed.

[Daffyd]

I'm also not particularly keen on 15km of gravel; call me a sook, but if it's the chosen venue, then I'll be there!

As for 2010, I've taken the liberty of pencilling us in at the Tautuku Outdoor Adventure Centre, run by the South Otago Youth Adventure Trust.
This is prolly the most used school campsite in Otago and Southland and some distance from neighbours, in fact, the nearest neighbour is.........me, about 2km away. Handy to shop, bottle store, two eateries, and on the best biking road in the country.

I'm busy going back and forth through the posts looking for where the gravel is. I thought this was a South Island Rally (i.e. for all bikers) rather than an adventure bikers rally. If there's gravel I'm bringing the cage instead.

post no 43 has the details McJimmmmmmmy boyo!

So you southern lot, come up with something suitable!
a. easy access for all attendees (prefer little or no gravel), but still with a reasonable ride to get there if possible
b. close-ish to supplies (food & booze)
c. cheapish accomodation, possibly camping for those who are really broke, backpacker style would be good for those who want a bit more
d. can be self catering

and i do think you have a great idea there for next year Daffyd!

[paturoa]

North Island is where you should have it!

I rekon a large load of us very good looking, intelligent, witty, generous, I could go on..... NI folk would turn up too!

If I can take the Vegas over the Danseys Pass then 20k of gravel is a breeze.:whocares:
Remember we do have adventure riders amongst us.
And was "The Staging Post" close to food & booze? No, but we sure as hell had a great time, Didn't we?

[Rashika]

And was "The Staging Post" close to food & booze? No, but we sure as hell had a great time, Didn't we?

yeah but we had great facilities there to cook stuff, and had plenty of shops along the way there.
Loved the staging post, we will have to go there again sometime in the future... maybe we could just transplant it further south?

[_Shrek_]

time is gaining on us people i hear you on the metal issue :devil2: :whocares: & as its for us all maybe another venue could be found thinking caps on southern folk

[Rashika]

I think Mr Scumdog may be checking out an option for us down south... we shall wait and see ;)

[Ruralman]

OK I hear the comments about low cost so I would appreciate some feedback on this idea before I follow it up further

I can get access to the shearers quarters on a large property about 10km up the Pig Root from Dunback - the cost will be minimal but there will be a cost (lets say $5/hd - or converted to boxes of beer for the farmer, although handing over some cash is easier)

The catch - there are only 20 beds. There are 2 showers and a good kitchen etc but I haven't looked around it myself yet so I don't know much more than that. There will be plenty of room for tents for those that don't get a bed (and I propose that those using the beds will be allocated one before they leave home and if you aren't one of the 20 you will need to bring a tent - those on a bed will probably pay a little more but we'll figure that out later)

The Dunback Hotel has always been very biker friendly and does good meals and will be familiar to many bikers going to/from the Brass.
There is some great riding through this area and an excellent loop up past the Mcraes Mine for a group ride. With a bit of gentle persuasion I'm sure I could get permission to take a group of adventure riders on a loop through some of the farm tracks which would take in some great views.

Apart from the short trip up the driveway the access to the property is all on sealed roads (but the gravel rats will be able to find many alternative routes to get there)

If the feedback is positive I will get out there sometime soon and have a look and get some photos - so don't be shy, let me hear it good and bad

[NighthawkNZ]

I think Mr Scumdog may be checking out an option for us down south... we shall wait and see ;)

Trying to find info in the Sutton camp, up middlemarch way

[Rashika]

Sounds like that would be something worthwhile finding out about Ruralman... afterall that is how it started, its a bike rally after all!
I dont mind camping by any means, and as long as we have reasonable cooking facilities, and a shower is nice too, and its easy for most people to get there (distance and money wise)... then it gets my vote!

[Ruralman]

Trying to find info in the Sutton camp, up middlemarch way

BRONZ Otago used to use Sutton for one of their TT runs - someone there may be able to help

[_Shrek_]

:woohoo: sounds good Ruralman & Knighthawk we will watch this space to see where we end up lol

[Ghost_Bullet]

Well then I said I was looking into options that could be about in Fox through relative over that way. Sadly the option may well be to expensive for us. The camping ground could be a goer at some stage.
I am very ken on the sounds of the plans progressing for this year. But could be worth looking West Side one year for sure!!!!!!

this is the response I got anyways....(would have been nice if there was beter prices though...)

We have rooms that share the bathroom facilities with other guests.
These hold up to four people (two single beds and a set of bunks in each
room). This would be $30 per peson.
We also have ensuite rooms which would be $130 for a twin/double/single.
We no longer have kitchen facilities for guests (the ensuite rooms do
have tea/coffee making facilities) but as you will already know we do
have a restaurant on site.

Also, we have tour groups coming in, especially quite a few in December
so we would also need to know what date you are looking at coming.

I can see that these prices are quite a bit more than what you guys have
paid for in the past. You may find that the holiday park can give you a
better price than we can. Their phone number is 03 751 0821.


Roll on this years KB Rally.

[xknuts]

I phoned Niel today (03 4312564) and he tells me he has lots of biker groups staying.
He has full kitchen / dining room, as well as a hall for recreation.
Cabins = 2 x double beds, singles, plus singles with attached room with another single and bunk. Plenty of room for 30 - 40 persons. $15-$20 per night. No tents needed.
Sounds great, Tarseal to his door!
He has pencilled us in, but I must confirm later on as a new owner takes over in July
I will be passing thru Tokorahi / Enfield on July 12th so I will make a small detour to Danseys Pass Camp on the Waitaki side of the pass & check it out.

Discussion please !:grouphug:

This sounds good to me. If other groups have used it more than once then it should suit our needs. You got my vote for this place. I like the idea of no tents needed, less baggage. And no burn outs:eek5:

Got my vote. Another run up to Mt Cook later???

[Oakie]

That's about a 320km round trip from Duntroon to Mt Cook and I guess Danseys to Duntroon will add another 30km each way to that (I'm not sure of the actual Danseys/Duntroon distance). A quick pootle up the other side of the valley crossing at Aviemore Dam and heading up to Benmore Dam is an attractive and entertaining alternative (twisties abound). Probably a shade over 100km return from Duntroon.

Looking forward to the ride and a great weekend:woohoo:

I haven't a clue where these places are or what they're like - I will try to get there when the time comes however if there's a hint of dirt road I'm doing a U turn ond heading home ;)

I love how democracy works on this site, the vote for Naseby was 17, Dansey's Pass 4 and it looks like it's now DP. That' still fine by me, as long as there is no gravel, as I don't want to chip the Duke's sparkly tank! Do we book direct with the camp if we want the double bed?

[Rashika]

I think the problem is getting a suitable venue for Naseby, danseys pass would be a fairly good alternative I reckon.

Oh yeah can we pretty please make the date the 2nd weekend in Dec?? Seeing as we hadn't really decided yet. The last 2 years it has been the 2nd weekend (just) so that seems fitting.

Got a wedding to go to on the first weekend, my sis's so i guess I'd better show up! :yes:

[Oakie]

That' still fine by me, as long as there is no gravel, as I don't want to chip the Duke's sparkly tank!

Well the last time I went over that road (28 February 1982) it was not sealed but I believe that progress has hit hard and that the whole of the Dansey's road is now sealed. Can anyone confirm that?

[Jantar]

Danseys Pass Rd is NOT sealed, and hopefully it never will be. But the road from Duntroon to Danseys Pass camping ground is sealed, so those riders who want to avoid gravel can still get there on sealed roads all the way.

I'm another who votes that we keep it at the 2nd weekend in December. The 1st weekend clashes with the Chatto Creek 1000 miler and also the Long Drop rally.

[xknuts]

Consider it done ! I'll make contact & change the dates to weekend
12th/13th December.
And I'll confirm booking instead of just penciled in.
What would a KB Camp be without Rashika & Jantar, LONELY!

Jeeze Oakie, wash yer mouth out!

Sealed to Nazeby, sealed to Dansey Pass Camp!

The bit in between (Dansey Pass to Naseby) is still gravel, thank goodness!

It's an easy road to traverse on almost any kind of bike, it's just personal choice.

The roads around to either camp are good sealed touring bike type roads.

Nobody will have to ride gravel to get there! :oi-grr: Cheers John.

PS: I can bring my wee truck down again if it's needed to ferry consumables etc.

Yes, Danseys Pass Camp, sealed all the way in from Duntroon. John, there is nothing at Naseby that suits our collective needs. You adventure riders can still do the gravel pass either coming or going to KB Camp 2008. :rockon:

Thank you Chris, I am very familiar with Dansey Pass holiday park and I am sure it will suit our needs, I just want to arrive at the correct venue!

There are some very good rides and places to visit within easy distance, similar to last years at the Staging Post from there too.

I am pleased that it is in the second week of December because we (oldriders) have to go to Nelson for the first weekend.

So who is going to be involved in the organisation this time?

Ruralman and me first time, MyGSXF (Jen) and her able crew last time, this time 2008????

Has all that part been sorted yet? :spudwhat: Cheers John.

[Winston001]

Just stumbled over this thread. I'm keen to come along too. The Burt Munro Rally will be on again in Invercargill on the lastish weekend in November so we are told. Second weekend in December gets kinda squeezed with children's school stuff, Christmas functions but I will certainly keep this in mind. Got a couple of mates who could come along too.

Besides, McJim needs someone to keep an eye on him... :D

I'll bring the DAWSON CHERRIES for the cherry spitting competition!
Food for the masses? Well most of us bring something for ourselves, :beer:but if there are members who want to discuss options like last year (think HOG) then it needs organising closer to the event.
I'm sure Niel (camp owner 03 4312564) could advise on equipment available etc:clap:

Good work Chris.
The Wedderburn folk haven't got back to me...good on you for stepping into the breech, taking the bull by the horns, seizing the moment, forcing the issue, taking the lead, putting your best foot forward etc

Was thinking that closer to said event if people wanted booze/food taken over there i could do a run over the weekend before in the ute and drop it off,just a thought fwiw.

Well it's been a while since I've been here or even out on the bike... and it's likely to be a while more since I do go (Looks mornfully at the pile of parts in the garage). However it would great to have something to aim for to motivate me to re-assemble the pile of parts into something that resembles a motorcycle - even if half of it is duct tape. It's been a long time since I've been to Danseys Pass Camp ground... I think 1983 or something... and it would be great to catch up with you crazy fellas and fellesses as well.

Just want to tell you guys that Margie and I (the soon-to-be new owners of Danseys Pass Holiday Park) are excited about hosting your December rally! We are obsessed bikers...had our first date on a 1970 BMW R60/5 in December of 1971 and have been riding ever since. So, when you ride in, don't mind us if we gawk and slobber over your bikes...it's what we do! -- See you in Dec. (Scott)

[Bren]

look forward to meeting up with ya then Scott, and welcome to the site too!
Hope ya do more than Gawk and Slobber, cos from my point of view you and yer wife are more than welcome to join in with the fun too...


Cya in Dec

[Daffyd]

Also looking forward to meeting you and Margie, Scott.
Just an idea, seeing bikes are a passion for you, You could start a picture wall with pics of all the bikes that visit you. There's a pub owner in Westport that does this and it's quite impressive.

OH YEA! Bikers hosting Bikers. :2thumbsup
Hey Margie & Scott, keep an eye on the registration thread. Numbers already 38! :whistle:
When is takeover day?????

Well Scott and Margie will make it 40 now and don't forget some of us will have pillions.

Fantastic cloudless warm day at Otematata this morning, Mrs O says lets go for a ride on the bike!

Left home just before mid day today, went past the camp, was going to call in to refresh our memories of the lay-out but we were hungry.

Rode over to Dansey Pass hotel for a pie and coffee, the road is probably in the best condition (if you like it like that) I have seen it for years!

Big notices at each end "Not suitable for caravans" what do we pass? A little 4x4 with a bloody big caravan struggling through! :wacko:

Rotten foggy cold weather from Kurow to the top of the pass but really sunny and warm again on the Maniototo side.

After our pie and coffee we rode on down the Pig Route to Palmerston, Trotters Gorge, Waianakarua, up the coast road to Kakanui, then Oamaru, fuelled up :eek: then home via Western, Airedale, Papakaio, Waitaki Valley highway 83 and home at 05:40pm.

212 miles for a pie and coffee, lots of different weather and road conditions and a fantastic days riding, on a fantastic Tiger! :ride: :love:

There is no reason "not" to have a good weekend in North Otago, see you all here in December. :niceone: Cheers John and Pip oldrider.

Hey John, instead of doing Airedale Road to Papakaio and home have you ever turned left at Weston and gone through Enfield and Ngapara to Duntroon? It's a neat wee ride. I used to do that a lot just for a Saturday morning ride when I was a yung'un.

Zakry the way I was thinking of getting there - looked at the map and there's a whole network of road in that area, one could get bamboozled eaily!!:buggerd:

My old trout may end up coming as well, but she hasn't registered as she isn't an interweb thingy person.

You asked, "When is takeover day?" -- If you mean, when do Margie and I take over the camp, it's the end of July. If you mean, when do the Kiwi Bikers take over the camp, I guess that's up to you...:rolleyes:

Just want to tell you guys that Margie and I (the soon-to-be new owners of Danseys Pass Holiday Park) are excited about hosting your December rally! We are obsessed bikers...had our first date on a 1970 BMW R60/5 in December of 1971 and have been riding ever since. So, when you ride in, don't mind us if we gawk and slobber over your bikes...it's what we do! -- See you in Dec. (Scott)

hiya Scott, Margie
welcome to KB we see you have had good taste in bikes as well :wari:

Turn in @ Maheno, esp coming from the South. Keep following signs to Tokarahi, Enfield and Duntroon. Turn left before Duntroon @ Danseys Pass Road. :2thumbsup

Yes Oakie, that's my normal route in and out of Oamaru on the bike. :yes:

It was very heavy wet fog (almost drizzle) from the coast to about Aviemore and the roads through Weston, Ngapara, Duntroon, get a lot of cow shit, tractor mud etc, in other words, as greasy as a butcher's prick and dark as at night! :eek5: Cheers John.

Thanks Chris - I've been over it once in the Mistral (no, not one of those Jap wannabe off-roaders)from Danseys Pass Camp to Maheno and there sure seems to be lots of sealed road wandering around between the two points.

I hope its only part of the honeymoon - with this knowledge don't expect the KB crew to let you sneak away to bed early!!!!
So if you're both KB members then who is the other half then huh ??? - she seems to be a bit quiet

See what I mean... you can't hear a thing!!! ;)

[oldrider]

all lies doc i've never heard me once :shutup:

I can vouch for Shrek, "he" does not snore! :no:

There is some evil out of space creature in the image of a snore that invades Shrek when he is sleeping and it is careful not to wake him! :shutup:

I know this to be true, otherwise I would have shot bloody Shrek long ago at the first rally we attended together! :headbang: John.

You welcome at my camp fire any time :drinknsin:

[Mrs Shrek]

John, Whats left to sort?
I'll bring the DAWSON CHERRIES for the cherry spitting competition!
Food for the masses? Well most of us bring something for ourselves, :beer:but if there are members who want to discuss options like last year (think HOG) then it needs organising closer to the event.
I'm sure Niel (camp owner 03 4312564) could advise on equipment available etc:clap:

Just had to start at page 1 to get the phone no for camp :done: looks like we come a long way . cant wait :wari: has anyone got the pigs tail for Helens bike :innocent:
