Ya did three years ago, would've frozen the balls off a brass monkey it was so cold. Climbed into the sleeping bag in full leathers with thermals underneath and me boots still on and could'nt warm up. Even after a couple of dozen JD's. But, hey, it was all worth it and is still one of the best m/c rallies around.
Can't make it this year as am offshore for a short while but will be back there next year.
Boots and All. :rockon:

I don't think they would keep a record, but I may be wrong.:wacko:
Last year was my first time there also. Fri, I didn't even get on site. Some locals saw me on the side of the road with a map, took me to the Patongata? pub for a beer or two:rolleyes:, then back to there place for a full on party.
Obviously they are now life long mates.:headbang:
Sat, was back to the pub, then the rally, set up tent, and hook back into it.
Now thats friendly locals!
We had a dozen m/cycles of all brands mixing it up together. (Guzzi's, Beemers, Duc's, and even a Maico, plus a few Triumphs, and even a old Bultaco motocrosser came up the street).:clap:
Not missing it this year.:woohoo:

The reason Mr Dog, I believe, is that Duck shooting season begins the weekend before.

[Bonez]

soooooooooo does that mean a ride to the pub for lunch soon then ?? :yes: :niceone::devil2:Popped in on Saturday. The club hasn't given the pub any entry forms this time.

The pub btw has been taken over by "Dutchy" and family, the old owners of the Wimbleton Pub. The Wimbleton Pub is having the fuel tanks removed, so from now on I wouldn't rely on it for a fuel stop, which is a shame.

Can anyone go for a day, say just to check out bikes etc, not to stay the night?
I imagine a gate charge, dunno, never been to a CD.

I dont think you you get in the gate without paying the full entry fee.But if you do that , you're in, and when you leave is up to you.

[tri boy]

Me and kanny will probably head over on Fri, (if I can get away), and probably stay at a mates place in Hastings Fri night.
Head to the Potangata pub for a rendevous, with others, and get to the site about midday sat.
Will give you a tinkle once the plan is known.

I am thinking of toddling over there Friday afternoon. Anyone else from Manawatu or environs doing the same? As I am a Cold Duck virgin ( of the rally kind, I am unfortunately old enough to remember that slightly alcoholic beverage of the same name ) anyone got any advice regarding where to camp or where not to camp ?:beer:

Something rings a bell about a $20 charge for visitors. Lots of local cruise out for the day/evening and go home w/out staying

Doing a late-ish ride home over the Napier Taupo road will be ferkin freezing to say the least. May as well bring ya tent n stay the night.

Lol, I know the Napier Taupo road well... It will be cold but it's bout the best I can do!

Seeing as I can't drink any more I would be much colder staying there the 2 nights than I would be for just the 2 hours home... I would rather the shorter amount of shivering :baby:

So uhh... Where abouts is the rally site? :confused: Joe and I will more then likely call in Saturday :D

[tri boy]

Head sth on Hwy 2 out of Hastings, until you get to Waipawa. Ask for directions at a petrol station. The whole town will know where it's at.;)

[slydesigns]

I am still going at this stage but it is ALL up to the weather I will make up my mind and post it by 8 on friday so were can and what time would you like two meet on saturday ??? NJ
What ever time you wish and at the main BP in Feilding itself, next to KFC

Is there a definitive answer to this question, I might be into this too if it can be done..

[Coldrider]

Was talking to a mate, last year he had to pay the full gate price to visit, so he didn't.
I'll be turning up late saturday arvo, via the Patangata hotel.

That is a bit dangerous, the taupo rd was closed on Sunday night due to rain , ice etc.

Hmm, cheers for that, i'll have to think it over...

Makes for a very expensive beer or two.

[meon3]

Have fun you guys, this will be the first year that Krusti and I haven't been since 1998. Don't forget your hot water bottle!! and something to crack the ice off your tent ....lol.:2thumbsup

[blacksheep]

Is there a definitive answer to this question, I might be into this too if it can be done..

they (the organisers)might be a little reluctant to let people in who say they are just coming for the day,if you look at it from their point of view you could pay for the day visit(if you can)then bunk in with your mates who've maybe brought a big tent?

[slydesigns]

Sarge isn't the camping type I think. Missed him on the Coro loop camp out aswell and that was a wet but fun one.

[NZsarge]

Makes for a very expensive beer or two.
Yeah for sure but you don't get a collection of people/bike like that everyday either.

Yeah that fair enough too, but if you pay full gate charges it's skin off no ones nose eh...
Another reason I did'nt take you up on the offer of a site is I don't own a tent either.

Sarge isn't the camping type I think. Missed him on the Coro loop camp out aswell and that was a wet but fun one.
Yeah camping ain't my favorite thing to do but wet weather camping/riding really does nothing for me.

[Meekey_Mouse]

Yip... A warning to any riding through Taupo... The Erupt festival is being held here at the moment and it seems to of attracted a LOT of police. So take it easy within the district here, my parents saw 8 coppa's between Hamilton and Taupo alone :sweatdrop

Also if I sit in town for bout half an hour I will see at least 3.

Ride safe every one :)

[gunnyrob]

Had a good crack at attending, Had an excellent ride down the Western Access, through to Waiouru. Started the Gentle annie (fuggen excellent road) then when engine braking down Bike shat itself totally :eek5:. Just done an overnight recovery back to Auckland. Will start another thread about it soon.

[Gareth51]

My first Cold Duck,Bloody good time despite the weather,will be back next year,try and post some pics later.off to Wgton for b'day dinner

[Bonez]

Good weekend alright. Thanks WMC for providing an excellent weekends entertainment. As Caroline said or thereabouts "most fun had in the wet and slush ever". As with the way there, the way back was over twice the distance of going the "direct" route. Gerble just couldn't resist:bash:. Got damn :cold:coming back through Dannivirke to home.

Saw Al and Sarah off for a scoot and nearer town saw Lance heading home. Nice soak in the bath. Will get onto cleaning the kit tomorrow as I've taken the day off to recover. Only got about an hours sleep. Well someone had to look after the fire:devil2:, didn't they?

Sorry to hear you had probs Rob. Was looking fwd to catching up with you.

[blacksheep]

guess whos bike?

[tri boy]

Great weekend guys.
Cool to meet a few more KBer's, and catch up with a few people I hadn't seen for a while.
The weather wasn't too bad, and it made for some interesting barrel racing.
Only downer was assisting a cruiser rider and pillion who decked it on the Napier Taupo Rd. (Both walked away with only bumps and bruises thankfully).

Few pics of the weekend.

[tri boy]

and a few more.........

as usual, by nightfall, my camera skills deteriorate. Funny that:whistle:

[Highlander]

Did the Bare Beer Bear get to the Duck?

[Bonez]

Did the Bare Beer Bear get to the Duck?Tits, suds and the cute cuddly thing were all there.

[tri boy]

Did the Bare Beer Bear get to the Duck?

The little buggar certainly did. Played up Fri night, and then puked on the scrambler at the rally. Passed it on to Sandra, to see if she can put him on the straight n narrow. ( Tui anyone?).

[sinfull]

Got wet, got very drunk, to the point i missed the games in the bowl saturday, left the tent there as a present for the waipawa lads (bloody sieve that it was) airbed/lilo as it became friday night is airing out now !
Lots of good ppl old friends and new ! Good to see you guys !

[Little Smurf]

Bonez you are a bloody legend with keeping the fire :devil2:going an all, just brillant!:niceone:
It was my first Duck and I had lots of fun with a great bunch of people. Its always nice to see all the different bikes as well as new and old faces. Good to see that despite our ass offs (aye Al) that we all give a hand! If my ankle hadn't packed up last night it would have been another great evening of dancing and drinking. Had a great ride home sorted our gear and hosed the bikes down and now enjoying the warmth of the fire and just chilling.
Will be back with a vengence next year. Cheers WMC.

[HRH]

Got drunk,
got wet (ankle deep - and that was just inside the tent!),
found out my boots aren't waterproof,
boogied hard (good bands),
rode as hard as I could,
ate lots of MEAT!,
grew a giant mono-dreadlock,
made it out of the driveway without arseing over (thanks to some assistance from my Sinfull yet ever helpful honey),
managed to avoid drunkenly entering the titty show and
even showered once...
All in all a good weekend. Thanks to all who made it so.:2thumbsup

[gunnyrob]

Bonez, sorry I couldn't make it mate, I tried....

Check out Gunnyrob's Beemer Breaks Down again!

Even Big Dave reckoned it was a good read!

yeah impossible task i am thinking he is a wee man s**t :rofl: I am sure I have the evidence of that spew .. well he could not misbehave as he was well & truly tied up today but was able to give ppl the evil eye if they got to close to my rear tire.

he then ended up down my top when I gave back some of the gear i borrowed for the weekend & had a cuppa before being tied up again (he quite likes bondage)

he will be getting around the neighbourhood with pics to follow in the next few weeks before he moves on to the next victim ..

awesome weekend dunno about it being a cold duck more a wet one but total fun ..

:sweatdrop at the mud leaving today & thanks to the crew I latched on to, as one came to make sure I made it through the worse of it unscathed, it was much appreciated .

Thanks to U4ea for the company on the way up on the new bike .. loving it for sure & Sarge for the cuppa on Fri and company to PN today .. and Sels1 & Gareth51 (happy birthday again) til just through the gorge

Sobering news to hear about the biker who crashed & condolences to his freinds & family

much quieter trip home for sure :yes:

Passed a harley just out of shannon who had obviously broken down, so turned around to see if they were ok & apparently I was the only one to stop & offer assistance (quite a number of bikes went passed) .. quick phone call to rottiguy(had just dropped off tent to dry out in his garage, Thanks mate) to bring some tools but got it sorted just as he pulled up .. so hope you got home safely

well the bike got another bath before being put to bed .. ahhh next adventure to deliver betsy up north next weekend :D :yes:

[Sparky Bills]

Sounds like a good one!
Camping, rain and mud always makes things interesting. Any mud wrestling? :innocent:

[blacksheep]

Yeah it was good .. fantastic chance to meet up with Kbers & friends that I had not seen for 20 odd yrs ..

hmmm well a few of the guys did offer to throw them selves down in the mud if the girls wanted to play :laugh:

a few of the bikes provided entertainment when they tried to negotiate the mud

[sels1]

Great rally guys - good to see the usual suspects and meet a few new ones. Shame about the rain, but at least it wasnt very cold.
WMC have a great setup there dont they?

[sels1]

Never heard him called Guesswho before......

BTW, what was the name of that golden rocket fuel that Loopy keeps bring to these rallys in that interesting little container....goldenspiel or something?

All I heard was alot of giggling, then someone suggesting somebody needed a "big black dog up them".:buggerd: :lol:

[Bonez]

Around 1200 turned up. Not a bad effort considering the conditions.

I would also like to point out that the food and beverages were very reasonably priced.

[chanceyy]

talking to a friend today who has been to all of the cold ducks and she said it was the wettest one ever:shutup:

[Bonez]

talking to a friend today who has been to all of the cold ducks and she said it was the wettest one ever:shutup:And here I was thinking it was normal. At least the ride in is shorter than the Cold Kiwi. The only issue Gerble had getting out was getting up the slope out in the "play" area. Took three goes but got there in the end.

Brill ride home. Ended up going through Flemington. Nice unsealed stretch thats doable on any road bike.

Milo's trailer setup was a hoot. Especially liked the usage of plastic wrap to catch unsuspecting ralliests(SP) trying to take shortcuts to their tents at night.

Other points of interest were a young lad used a late model gsx250 for firewood haulage. Well done that man. Gerble donated some fuel for the fire then was put to use to jumper a VW powered trike. Oh and lets not forget the BMW that didn't like staying upright and the Busa that was assisted in keeping a straight line by a couple of drunken blokes ;)

[blacksheep]

got out of the play area ok,then dropped it in the area behind coffee trailer...........bugger,luckily plenty of people gave a hand lifting it up again,thanks whoever you were!not an easy task when covered in that kind of mud

[chanceyy]

Quite ironic really ah. Considering the amount of rain and the fact that there is a river next to the site ;).

I did consider the irony of it all .. :laugh:


umm well if Someone hadn't made someone else sleep in the middle ... :shutup:someone was kept very warm tho even if they had their sleeping bag taxed:mellow:


ohh I wonder who that was .. with all that "snuggling" ya should have been warmish .. mind you ya should have stolen ya bag back .. that would have caused a few more bouts of laughter ::whistle: :2thumbsup

[Goblin]

Great weekend despite the mud, sure was fun leaving the site. :shit: Managed to avoid the rain from Whakatane through to Gizzy then down to Waipawa. Had a fine trip home. :sunny:

Was cool to catch up with KBers and meet some more. :hug:

[tri boy]

Nah. Only a couple of blurry shots of this guy.
That wee mini bike got the shit flogged out of it.:yes:

[Bonez]

Forgot to mention I left a thermas flask 1/3 full of Manawatus finest home brew bourbon on the site.:crybaby: Hope it was put to good use.:devil2:

[blacksheep]

kept the fire going for a bit longer
