[fireliv]

[cruza]

[fireliv]

Yeah I have ridden the arthurs gravel not to bad. We are looking at taking the longer but no gravel route if possible. Might just have to toughen up and do the gravel run otherwise

[timg]

aint bringin no Turkey Cream.:clap: Yeah coz ya drunk :drinknsin:drinkup: it already by the sound of things :nya:

[neels]

So I thought I read somewhere that there was issues with the road from Jackson to Moana?? Can anyone confirm if this is the case or not. Will go that way to avoid the gravel if its all good rather than going to GreymouthOn the latest topomap it shows as being sealed through from Jacksons to Stillwater, and from Ngahere to Lake Haupiri, gravel from there to Kopara. I think I'll head via Moana to Blackball for a look around and see who's still hanging around at the pub after lunch, haven't been there since I went to look at my great grandfathers house after he died many, many, many years ago

[Ghost_Bullet]

Yeah coz ya drunk :drinknsin:drinkup: it already by the sound of things :nya:

Snap... ya caught me... damn it. sorry folk!!!!:apint:

Jacksons to Stillwater is sealed, just be aware the route has turn-offs ... don't take the right turn-off ... and you may end up in strange locations. It IS sign-posted though. But read the map first ...

[stevewederell]

Well fark me (come on I bet thats the best offer you lot have had this week, yeah aye) if the bloody tegel faeries havent been visiting... check out the fridge, it was bloody near empty when I left for work, mind you the packaging is a worry, but hey if we all sprout wings then we know the lab is on the right track.
Ohh and I was only kidding in an earler post when I said 'drop any other shit around that ya want carted over' LOL the Nissin express will be loaded.

ps: remember to hif in and CD's ya want to listen to.
pps: now aiming at heading over Friday arvo... see ya's there :devil2:

Who you callin' a fairy pal??!!

Doesn't look like I'll be going so ride safe everyone and have a groovy time. I'll look forward to the stories and pics next week:msn-wink:

But read the map first ...Already did that the last time I went there :rolleyes: but in my defence it was in the dark, only went as far as Te Kinga though so wasn't sure if it was sealed from there on.

[FJRider]

The trick is to follow that railway line ...

[_Shrek_]

What the hell have you been smoking...

[Hinny]

Yeah coz ya drunk :drinknsin:drinkup: it already by the sound of things :nya:

"it already by the sound of things" makes no sense.
I think you are drunk!

[Hinny]

I am, and even in my wierdest I don't think I wpu;d cpome put woith something as strange as that.
Fuck fuck fuck
Haven't drink Goin sice Ages ago. Champers chasers and ....oh my god. Anyhoo... your statement was wierd.
Just turned the light on.... Jeez it sucks being blind.

[cruza]

Yeah I have ridden the arthurs gravel not to bad. We are looking at taking the longer but no gravel route if possible. Might just have to toughen up and do the gravel run otherwise

just turn off at jacksons, thru to brunner- stillwater, up to nelson creek and thru to kopara that way, all sealed to a fair way past nelson creek, then a good hard packed gravel road ( better than arthurs pass road works). You'll be sweet safe ride.

[Gareth51]

All packed and ready for the road,see ya tomorrow

[Ghost_Bullet]

All packed and ready for the road,see ya tomorrow
Gee you are advanced, it is now today, and I aint even started packin at all.

[scumdog]

Overcast but not raining here in Methven, just about to pack the bikes and head off.

Left Riviera of the South yesterday in blazing sunshine, had to stop in Dunners to put jerseys on, rain on the Kilmog then warmer and o'cast but no rain until 10km from Methven.

We'll fill-up @ Springfield and then again at Greymouth.

See y'all @ Kopara if not before:Punk:

[dangerous]

Gee you are advanced, it is now today, and I aint even started packin at all.

now... why does that not suprise me :eek:

[Dr Death]

Has anyone heard of the group who's heading over to Blackball in the morning (saturday). Apparently we meet at the "Yaldie." It was said it may be a 9am start?? Any updates???

[neels]

I'm over on saturday but doubt I'll make the yaldie by 9.00, was going to pack the bike tonight but the missus decided to go visiting and drinking so be lucky to make it there by 10.00, see ya in blackball :2thumbsup

[Dr Death]

We have cancelled the blackball run due to dodgey weather conditions.
Maybe next time!

[true-to-life]

Have a Fantastic ride guys and an absolute blast of a weekend :headbang:

[Flip]

Well I made it, all be it in a car. I really like Kopara, isn't is a neat place?

I was however able to bring my old Bessy with me. I was rapt that so many shots were true and hit the gong.

[Subike]

Im home, safe in sound , wet from the rain, blasted from the norwester
and happy to have spent the past three days with some awsome people.
Awsome food, Awsome party. Awsome ride/
Flip, bessy was just the beast , pity you ran out of powder I would loved to have had a couple more bruses from her,loved that weapon.
Musket Training Camp Kopara, we all know now how to prime load and fire flintlock and percussion cap muskets! Yeah, big bangs, big balls of smoke, and targets demolished!

[Spuds1234]

Subike pretty much summed things up nicely.

Myself and Sexy Lexy had a ball of a time. No dramas on the way home, did get a bit wet but couldnt get the wet weather gear off fast enough in Springfield. It was so hot compared to the Coast.

Anyways here are a few pics that I took. Excuse the poor photography skills. Also that rooster sure knows how to line up his hens.

[neels]

Awesome weekend, wet windy, wild and all bloody good fun.

Ride over saturday via arthurs and back via lewis today both the same, definately a ride of 2 halves.

Great night saturday night, good to meet lots of people and if I'm lucky I might even remember some of them. Or maybe not :apint:

And big thanks to the people that did the organising. :clap:

[JellyBellyKelly]

Fantastic people, fantastic place, fantastic weekend. Bloody marvelous!
Very wet through Otira/Arthurs this morning, but lovely & warm this side of Porters!

Thanks to all for organising, cooking, donating, chatting etc etc

See you at the Woodstock....

[fireliv]

Just made it home! Despite the weather and the 5 star accomodation we had, I had an absolute blast!! Big thanks to Shrek, Steve and GB, Timg and JM for doing a fair bit of the cooking!!!

However the SV did not like the rain. Decided not to fire on all cyclinders not long past Springs Juction, so basicly had to go 60KM all the way to hamner. From there it sometimes started. Looks like the bike will be in bits very soon.


Fantastic time, cant wait to see the picks of pink panther!!

[KiwiPhoenix]

Home safe and sound, despite the wet weather then the wind!! Had an awesome time, thanks to the organisers!

Also looking forward to seeing the pics of Roger!! :msn-wink:

[kerryhare]

This has been the most enjoyable rally yet for me. Didn't even wake up with a headache and no brandy came home this time. Weather was crap but then it is the coast. Thankfully we didn't have to use our tent. Looking forward to the photos. Hope Rodger made it safely home, he was a wee bit naughty.:spanking:

[JMemonic]

Great weekend, thanks to those who organised everything, Phil thanks for bringing Bessie, and the locals for the use of the range, what a blast (literally in some cases)

I for one am extremely grateful we were not tenting it this weekend as in those conditions it would have been more than a little unpleasant.

[FJRider]

Mind you both Roger and Dangerous were definitely getting jiggy with it more than once as I recall! :msn-wink:

Looking forward to seeing the "evidence" :niceone:

you may well be ... :devil2:

[scumdog]

I think Dangerous is trying to take over my role at rallies - and how well he has done it too:devil2::clap:


And here at Hanmer, what a wet ride from Refton!

Met SDU and Ricksta at Springs Junction then the Wellington boys at Hanmer, they claimed they were only visiting the hot-pools but I'm sure they were there to ogle the sheilas in the bikinis....and later they visited our cabin for an hour or two.

Off to Tekapo today, you Canterbury Rabble need to sort out your weather 'cos I'm sick of riding in wet-weather gear. (especially as my 'water-proof' leggings now have a horrendous rent in the arse of them)

[XF650]

Big thanks to the organisers, the hosts & the tucker providers. Also great to meet so many new faces.
From an adventure riding perspective we have some unfinished business but at least we now know the Kopora Camp will be an ideal base from which to go bush.
My only pic - bum shot of HOT

[KiwiPhoenix]

LOL LOL LOL I might have missed it you lot!!!!! but it didn't happen if there is no photographic proof so i await ................... in anticipation..... :devil2::devil2:

Even without the photographic evidence, plenty of witnesses to what happened and I have to say that Dangerous was a very good sport! :clap:

FJRider, I wouldn't worry too much about your photos, the ones of Dangerous are much more fun! :devil2:

[NighthawkNZ]

had blast...

Rode up with Shreks, Ruralman & Cold comfort... was fine till we started to go through the Arthurs pass, and it rained and didn't stop raining till I left Arthurs Pass...

[Retroqueen]

Saw the rabble Coming back through Taylorville while I was with my bunch. My mates on guzza's and duc's with their noses in the air........ Good thing the handsome souther man and his lovely lady on the bright orange bike recognise their mates when they see them....

RQ will NOT wave furiously next time :Pokey::Pokey:

[KiwiPhoenix]

Yeah, Roger did manage to get about this weekend!

[neels]

I'm glad I was still coherent enough to decline the offer of an encounter with Roger. :rolleyes:

[NighthawkNZ]

idea for badge as that is what most people will remember about Kopara the chance to shoot the black powder guns

[KiwiPhoenix]

I think the weekend will be remembered by "Roger does Dangerous!" :devil2:

[NighthawkNZ]

I think the weekend will be remembered by "Roger does Dangerous!" :devil2:

I don't remember that..

[KiwiPhoenix]

You obviously had more to drink than you thought! :apint:

[_Shrek_]

Well that was another great weekend away, left here thursday arvo arrived at the Princess's in Dunners for a rost meal with Rm, Mrs S, left firday morning picked up Nighthawk & coldcomfort in town & headed nth, the 1st problem we had was getting pulled over by the Arthurs pass :Police: for allegdedly speeding so after a :angry2: he sent me & CC on our way with no ticket nice plod that man
arrived @ Kopara 1730 ish with it persisting down as it was for most of the weekend :whocares: was great catching up with the old, odd, & new faces good entertainment all round :shifty: & the :2guns: well you know that were there :woohoo: a big thanks to doc & Flip for bringing their black powder guns & to Dave, Brian & the other fulla :slap: for got his name

we were the last to leave as we were in no hurry headed sth & thought we would stay out at Nicks bay (just this side of Jacksons bay) but as it was good ole west coast rain straight down we decided to to carry on after a coffe at Hasst, next thing there's a :whistle: & Xknuts shows up from behind a fence, so after coffee we left for the pass & what doya know stop raining as we went over the top, was great run into Wanaka where we stayed with friends with Xknuts heading to Alex

we left Wanaka about 9am after a leisurely breakfast :blip: then arrived home 1030 fire going no kids cya :msn-wink:

a big thank you to our traveling mates

[Daffyd]

Yup. Great weekend! Rode in heavy rain most of the way to Springfield where I stopped for a feed just as the 3 Wellington boys were leaving. Wind was so strong I could hardly stand, so the nice man at Ned's diner suggested I put the bike in the shed with the big jet-boats so it wouldn't blow over.

Met NH, RM @ co at the petrol stn and led off, expecting them to catch up, but missed the turn-off and went to Darfield, so I guess they passed me.

Stopped for a coffee with a friend at Grumpy's camp near Geraldine, then home via the main drag. Ran into rain just before Waikaiouiti(sp) which was so heavy the gutters couldn't cope so sheltered under a shop veranda.

The rest of the trip was uneventful with the road drying out about Blueskin Bay. Home at about 9.15.

[Sexy Lexy]

wow made it there and back on the wee 150! i miss the fun, but not the rain!!

[JellyBellyKelly]

roger..... where are you??????

[_Shrek_]

roger..... where are you??????

may be after 1600 today

[cold comfort]

A great outing to be sure. Enjoyed the company of the "league of extraordinary gentlemen" and their partners on the way up too.
"Back of Beyond" - torrential rain, gale force NW
" KB 2009 Rally" - torrential rain, gale force NW
I'm beginning to see a pattern developing here...
Great to touch base with those i know and meet a couple i didn't so all good.:niceone: Sadly couldn't stay for the black powder shoot but duty called elsewhere. I was the recipient of the highway patrol's seasonal benevolence on the way back too Shrek so feel doubly blessed! :nono:
Got some pics but having trouble shrinking them. Will persevere later.

[Retroqueen]

roger..... where are you??????

apparently DD still has him :msn-wink::msn-wink::msn-wink:

[dangerous]

apparently DD still has him :msn-wink::msn-wink::msn-wink: No way, I kicked his sorry arse out the door as we hit the city limits, but as he had such a good time I believe hes going to join KB pitty he couldent ride back, then again he could have had Kahu's seat on the VFR

EXCUSE ME! Thats the "not fair" dept.


idea for badge as that is what most people will remember about Kopara the chance to shoot the black powder guns

Great idea NH, Jonelle has that great pic set beside the cannon

[FJRider]

I went up to Christchurch on the Friday night. Was offered a bed at KiwiPhoenix's place, for an early start on the Saturday. I had offered her a ride to Kopara some time ago and she accepted. Heading off in "strong" winds .... (thinking at least its NOT raining ....) That didn't come 'till the Bealy flats ...
A stop for coffee and nibbles at Arthurs ... and with the rain easing (yeh right) we headed off over the "hill". It was "a little damp". But it was the most enjoyable wet day ride I've ever had. (must have been the company I had ... ) Turned off at Jacksons, and took the Lake Brunner route to the Grey city. Gassed up and headed out to Blackball for lunch. But before we left we met up with the pair on the Thruxton and the Duc.

Donna hadn't been round "the short block" before ... so she suggested we go that way home. I agreed ... only a few extra hours to get home (what is time eh !!!) A very cruisey trip through to Springs ... food and coffee. AND gas. Light rain, with brightning skies towards the Lewis Pass ... looking good. WRONG... The (heavy) rain stopped about the works camp, but started again a bit later ... but not as bad. In sight of Hamner ... BLUE SKY ... but the wind started with a vengence. Tail wind ... I can deal with that ... but Donna's shreiks as we get blown around ..... must get ear-plugs .
We observed a few funny (stupid) cage drivers passing efforts ahead of us, and just backed off and let them go.

Dropped Donna off, and with no sign of the wind dropping ... I headed south.
On the north side of Timaru I pulled into a gas station for fuel and a break from the wind. Parked there was a Orange KTM 990 ( the 2nd one I'd seen that weekend) ..... WRONG ... it was the 1st one I'd seen (in Kopara). And RM's day was not going well. "Fuel issues" ... he may explain later... I hung round and helped as best I could, and followed him south incase of further bother occuring. After tea in Oamaru while the sun set... we continued south. I turned off at Palmerston, and arrived home at one minute after midnight. 2 hrs 15 min's from Oamaru to my place. (227 km's)

A long day....

[Roger]

Hi all, it was great to meet you lot, it was the best time I’ve had in years. You really know how to show a guy a good time. There I was just hanging around and thinking here goes another wet boring weekend, but how wrong can a guy be ... O for orrsome man!

That Victory was a great ride, thanks for that xknuts, and as FQ said earlier, I’m sorry about the stains, but I’m sure they’ll clean off OK.

Hey Dangerous, how did you get your name, you were a real pussy cat, easiest lay I’ve got in a while, not the tightest though, but hey thanks anyway.

Oh and thanks ladies, you gals were great too.

I woke up a bit crook on the Sunday, and with a hell of a sore back – probably ‘cos of where I slept the night, man that was uncomfortable wedged in there. I was feeling a bit queezy coming back down through Arthurs on the way back, so needed to stop for a chuck, heh heh. Ahh well them’s the breaks I guess when ya stay up drinkin’ with the young ones ... eh D :whistle:

Thanks everyone for sending me the photo’s of me - I stuck a few of them in my album if you want to go have a look.

So anyway thanks for letting me tag along and I look forward to many more adventures with you all.

[Retroqueen]

Hi all, it was great to meet you lot,

Oh boy oh boy no wonder he kicked your sorry arse!!
Glad I never got anywhere near ya cause that might have been seriously dangerous :buggerd:
Glad to see your love for the victory though :msn-wink:

What a blast your album is...... :clap::clap::clap:

[Gareth51]

Back home now,what a bloody great weekend it was, good to catch up with the the old faces and meet some new ones.It will go down as one of the funniest for a while
Even the Westcoast weather couldn't put a dampener on the fun we had,and as for Roger the Dogger...spikes the girls drinks and then has his dirty way with them(some green coming for you lad):spanking:

[sels1]

Hi all, it was great to meet you lot, it was the best time I’ve had in years. .
Well it was nice to meet you too Roger, glad you had a good time with D, (pity you couldnt have taken him elsewhere at 4am...)and that young lady from ChCh way was getting very friendly.... there could be photos.....

Great weekend, despite the weather. Good to catch up with the usual suspects and meet a few new ones. Thanks for having us Northies down your way - always good to go somewhere new(...or in the case of Kopara somewhere old!)
Hope the chooks get over the shock

We ran out of the rain past Bealey and stripped the wets off at Springfield. After a coffee and a bite we headed up the inland route to Hamner Springs for a good soak in the hot pools. Had a good run thru to the ferry this morning and now home and happy.

[xknuts]

It took some planning but an awesome 5 days of riding, fab company, laughter till it hurt, & memories to treasure. :clap:
Thursday 10th 7am; At the Dunedin Fruit Wholesalers looking for my carton of pre ordered cherries. 1 1/2hrs later I departed Dunners without any cherries! :angry2: :headbang:
Petrol reserve light came on well North of Timaru, so slowed to save KM's and reached Tinwald Shell dead on empty. By pure chance met a fellow Vicster at the pumps, swapped emails as ya do.
Still looking for cherries for the Spitting Comp & found some on the CHCH bypass.
Friday 11th 8.30am; The Woodend Group (Billyboy, GB, FQ, mista, HOT, timg, & xknuts) departed collecting Subike, Goblin & Doc at Waikari. Well, I shud rephrase that, I stopped to exchange niceties coz the bunch rode on past. We 4 caught up at Springs Junction. With our wets still on and rain still threatening we pushed on to Murchison. Stinkin hot we all opted to shed our wets quickly & eat drink n be merry. While we advised Subike on how to fix his petrol leak.
Leaving Murchison I thought the whole group was aware of flashing headlights warning of :Police: but Subike got picked off the back for speeding which I was not aware of until reaching Inangahua. My 1st ride in the Buller Gorge, cant wait for a dry run
While waiting for Subike it was on with the wets again, reached Reefton, off with the wets. Departing Reefton on with the wets again and this time it paid off. Steady Westcoast rain which did not let up.
Billyboy n I turned off at Nelson Creek & reached camp later than the others to be told the VIP suites were taken, but he did have the "Possum Hut" and it had 1 powerpoint!! LOL As it turned out it was a luxury.
Bring on the Friday night frivolities

Hi all, it was great to meet you lot, it was the best time I’ve had in years. You really know how to show a guy a good time. Good to meet you too roger, although I might have to have a word when I see you next about getting a bit too friendly with my wife. :oi-grr:

Then again I suppose you have to make your own fun in the country.

Sure was! You had POWER.... my cabin had no power, holes and moss!! But hey it was just a place to sleep from the wee hours of the morning untill that damn rooster woke up.... or his chook called HOT came in looking for coffee!!!

At least it had a roof that didn't leak, had no shower and a toilet that only flushed sometimes. Oh and the beds in the other room banging against the wall, no idea what they were up to in there.:rolleyes: Dave, Elliott, Donna and Trev were having a bit of a party I think.

Hopefully we didn't make to much noise making our way into the cabin in the early hours of Sunday morning. I had such a great time, i could do it all again even with the rain.
That bloody rooster should have been barbecued.

[Gareth51]

they claimed they were only visiting the hot-pools but I'm sure they were there to ogle the sheilas in the bikinis....


NOT GUILTY.....Sir

Have to say though, it was an awesome weekend!! off to check out the photos!

I'm not saying what we guys were up too, I'm sworn to secrecy!<_<

[KiwiPhoenix]

I just checked out the photos Roger, looks like you had a great time!

:laugh:

[phoenixgtr]

Well what an awesome weekend. It started on Friday afternoon when Liv & I loaded up the bikes and headed through Arthurs Pass. It was windy as hell all the way and the heavy rain started at Bealey. I was miserable when we stopped at Jacksons. I didn’t think the trip could get any worse. We headed off again after a drink and a bite to eat and rode past Lake Brunner, through Moana to Stillwater. Things were looking up!! What a nice road. And the weather even relaxed…a little. When we made it to the camp I didn’t care that our cabin smelt funny, didn’t have any power, didn’t have any hot water, had holes in the ceiling and was, in fact, the storage room…it was dry!!

So, despite the weather keeping it up all weekend I had a great time. It was great to see some of the Welly crew again (one day I’ll make it back there with my bike). I’m stoked to have made it to the famous Blackball Hilton (can tick that one off). I had a blast firing the black powder guns (cheers Phil, Doc & co.). And I’m glad I kept my arse away from Roger all weekend (sorry Roge, I just don’t swing that way, despite all the talk about gay bars).

Cheers for a great weekend guys and gals

[SDU]

Had an awesome weekend. What a awesome place Kopara is. Sorry we deserted yas on sat but had family to see. On leaving camp had a couple off visiters in my helmet which was a bit disconcerting. Met a dodgy couple in greymouth while fueling up and a wet looking couple in springs over coffee & a few of the chch crew passing threw. Managed to find some sunshine for a bit on the way up the coast & in westport on Saturday but bloody drenched doing the buller home on sunday. Can't wait to do those rds in the sun.

Said 'wet looking' couple almost became the 'pounded to death' couple after being stuck in a horrendous hail-storm near Geraldine!!

Stones about the same diameter of a $2 coin fair hurt - like being machine-gunned by a paintball gun - and that was AFTER we had stopped and were cowering over our bike tanks!

And even afterwards we couldn't move for ages due to the 20mm or so coating of ice/stones on the road - couldn't even see the edge of the road etc and as slippery as Rogers whatsit...

Thanks for an enjoyable couple of days on the 'Coast'. It would not be the West Coast with a bit of rain........BUT. Sorry I could not stay for the Saturday night, looks like I missed out on something special!!! It was great to put faces to KBer names. Thanks again to all who made the weekend possible and made me welcome on my first SI KB Rally. Roll on 2010......

Hi all, had a great weekend, always love bike trips to the south Island but pity about some of the weather this time.
Finally had a chance to put faces to some of the names I see in this forum but trying to remember all of them might be a little difficult although some stood out and will be hard to forget. Will need to make further trips south I suppose.
The black powder, and that little "red neck" bar added a bit of extra entertainment to the weekend as well as the wild life wandering the camp.
As the pic above shows the weather on the return journey was a little kinder than some of you got.
Good to catch up with phoenixgtr and scumdog again.
Plans are under way to make it to the Bert Munroe weekend next year and anything else that time allows.Thanks again for a great weekend, Wayne.:woohoo:

[FJRider]

Hey and while your at it, restock the fridge!
Your running out of beers and Ice cream.
Oh and park that horrid bike of yours somewhere other than the garge, I need to put the Panther in there.

Yes scummy, my english is a little better than his,
I went to school to learn, he just went to flick the girls skirts.

I will be watching you lot, so be carefull what you do and when you do it :buggerd:

[Ruralman]

Saw the rabble Coming back through Taylorville........ Good thing the handsome souther man and his lovely lady on the bright orange bike recognise their mates when they see them....

RQ will NOT wave furiously next time :Pokey::Pokey:

Oh you say the nicest things :hug:- but you may be due for another eye check


Yes I heard about the fuel issues... :rolleyes:

Hmmmm - yes well - a big thank you to FJ Rider who lent assistance especially in laying the big orange on its side to siphon the last of its tank and then waiting to see if it would go (which it did after a few false starts and clouds of foreign smoke....) OK Ok - what did I do???? I did what I have heard others have done and always thought to myself "how do they do a dumb thing like that.........." ----- I managed to absentmindedly put about 13litres of diesel into the big Katoom. Walked into the Timaru Shell sevirce station to pay for it and the girl says "does your bike really run on diesel" - my reaction to this was better left unrecorded
Anyway the attendant was really good - rung a guy working in a nearby paint shop where I got a suitable length of hose (also free) and she supplied a small 5litre can to start draining it into. I ended up with several mouthfuls of diesel - not pleasant and various remarks about "diesel breath" were made for a while afterwards.
FJ Rider showed a much better technique in siphoning (mis-spent youth??) once we had it laid down on each side (twin tanks) and once we'd got all that we could out it took 17.5 litres to fill - hmmm - it holds 19
It did start but once the diesel rich stuff at the bottom got in it didn't run well at all and would stall each time I tried to rev it. We perserved quietly, let it idle for a while, revved it occasionally and it seemed to start getting better as it got a less diesel rich mix. Eventually it was running well enough to head off - would still blow a diesel cloud if I revved it and FJ Rider reckoned he could smell it for a while but by the time we got to Oamaru it was running pretty well as normal but I filled the tank again to provide some more dilution and it was as good as gold from there on.

I still think back to how I managed to do this - I do own a diesel SUV and am used to using a diesel pump but they are usually different enough to be obvious even if your head is somewhere else. These bowsers hooked up from the sides rather than the front and they just weren't as obvious in their markings as they usually have been. Anyway, I'm going to be bloody careful not to do it again!!

As well as FJ Riders assistance we also had an offer from a guy from Dunedin who called in with bike on the back of his Commodore ute - he was quite keen to load the ktm onto the ute and us to drive down while he rode his bike. So thumbs up to that fella too - its a friendly world this biker community.

Vin Diesel signing off......................

[Ruralman]

We enjoyed our weekend in spite of the weather and getting the worst dump of a bloody cabin on the whole site - actually if I took the Princess to stay in a place like that again.......?????? Anyway next year it is down this way so we'll have no excuse for not organising something better.

We certainly got torrential rain through Arthurs on the way home - but the winds after Porters Pass were far worse to deal with. I think that is the most "side of the tyre" wear I have ever got riding through Canterbury. The thing that amazed me was getting hit by gusts from both sides in short succession.

We ducked down to have lunch with cuzzies near Hororata and then retreated to SH1 thinking it might not be as severe as the inland route. Turned back up to Geraldine for a break and then the final fuel stop in Timaru turned into a bit of a drama. Had dinner with FJ Rider in Oamaru to let the sun go down and then put on the wet suits again as much for warmth as anything - the roads from Palmerston to Dunedin were very wet but the sky had cleared and it was bloody cold. Got back to Dunedin about 11pm and glad to be back.
It was certainly a day of challenging riding

Enjoyed the catching up and meeting people - I'll post a couple of photos next time once I've shrunk a few of them

[xknuts]

[QUOTE=Ruralman;1129574524]
It was certainly a day of challenging riding /QUOTE]

So it seems the Westcoast ride to Haast & onwards wasn't so bad after all. Yes, it was wet, but still warm and a change of socks & gloves at Franz Joseph
kept me comfortable the whole way. :2thumbsup
BUT theres a rail / road bridge somewhere just South of Kumara that I entered slightly toooooooooooooo Faaaaaaaaaast and crossed up, bloody near dropped the Jackpot on the rails, ended upon the right hand side only to jump the rails at the opposite end. :dodge: Scary stuff!

Just had Cheshire Cat (Marc & Joelle & the mutt "Tahu") stay over for a night in Dunners. Heading to Golden Bay the long way. Great company, cheers Guys. :grouphug:

[dangerous]

so now to catch the little fucker.

So... I decided to let the dogs in on the going ons and that Roger had been eating their K9 bickies, and that if they ever want to se a beef bone ever againg they need to find were the pink flee bag hides out in the day time... so they went on the hunt and just before dusk they cornered something high up in the silver bertch.
Now... this is when I remember my musket training from last sunday at Kopara, so I dashed for the garage and made up a sling shot from the Buell drive belt and Guzzi valves. training paid of, one shot and the farking thing fell from the tree, the dogs attacked under order and detained Rog till I got there. Over night the pimk thing was held at Doberman cells under close guard.
Now cuffed and straped back in the truck this little shit was ready to head back over the hill he came.

[woodybee]

Just got off skyping Chris, XKNUTS and he told me the KB o was fab fun, so gnawing on my pen at the moment, as gutted I am not there to rock on into the night with you dudes, reminded me of last years KB in Danseys, when Mr. S, as he was then and I playing table tennis with everything in the kitchen, saucepans, spoons, knives and forks!!!! :weep:I miss Mr. S. Q, Shrek, Sels, and all you other dudes, it would take me yonks to write down you are definately in my thoughts over this festive period, as I pound the beat in the freezing cold weather feeling glum and cold......brrr, reckon its going to snow tonight.

Oh well, back to it then I guess, going to cuddle my hot water bottle and imagine its a nice hot bloke.......hmmm yum...hope this has worked have tried to chuck some piccys, of the rally folk I met up with over here....if not I shall seek assistance and try again.

Merry Christmas one and all and thinking of ya......x:banana:

[scumdog]

OK Ok - what did I do???? I did what I have heard others have done and always thought to myself "how do they do a dumb thing like that.........." ----- I managed to absentmindedly put about 13litres of diesel into the big Katoom.
Vin Diesel signing off......................

I haven't checked for sure but I believe in our H-Ds there is too small a hole on the plate inside the filler tube for a diesel nozzle to be put into - sounds like it would be a good thing on other brands of bike....:whistle:

[Mrs Shrek]

We enjoyed our weekend in spite of the weather and getting the worst dump of a bloody cabin on the whole site - actually if I took the Princess to stay in a place like that again.......?????? Anyway next year it is down this way so we'll have no excuse for not organising something better.



So ya didnt like your 4* accommodation then....could have been worse... you could have ended up outside in the tent :baby: Is that why you haven't rung :mad:

[Ghost_Bullet]

Oh my, i still have not gotton around to posting pictures and the like, with over 300 I have whittled them down to around 170, but is that still to many??

It was a fab weekend that no doubt will be remebered for along time to come as all the previous rallys.
Since the second rally I gave bought along chicken kababs to share,since last year SteveW also added to that, and it appears all the food goes down well, and most likely much need to absorb the liquid intake.
All the stuff I bring I have to buy, but never ever expect to be compensated for. Jantar came up to me at the BBQ this year and asked about it, I told hime, not to worry, he said we would be seen right. (some people just dont listen)
BUT I was humbled when a hand full of gathered monies was presented to me. At that moment I thought, I cant take this, as I stuffed it in my pocket!!!!

My son a few years ago become very sick with hemolytic uremic syndrome, which put him in Starship for near a month. Pictures below of that time

<a href="http://family.webshots.com/album/559177330WcRZyF"><img src="http://thumb16.webshots.net/t/53/653/3/37/11/2612337110100338616vlHECM_th.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Webshots.com"></a><br>by <a href=http://community.webshots.com/user/GhostBullet> GhostBullet</a>


Hence I have put that money given for food as a donation to kidney kids, which was near $50.00. I have noted in the submission that the money was gathered at a kiwibiker rally weekend.

So thank you people. And there will be more of the same next year, ya gotta keep ya belly topped up.

[kerryhare]

kidney kids is a great organisation. But one not a lot of people know about. they work quietly to raise money. They have a great kids Christmas party and fund raising events through the year. Most of the kids go on to have ongoing renal problems into adult hood. So I am going to put in a plug for these patients. Please consider becoming a donor on your licence. I have seen what a difference a transplant can make in the quality of someone's life.

On a different note. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year.

[chiefofthehill]

Now ask King of the hill :baby: ???
I already know the answer, LOLThats 'Chief' man... Toren is gaelic for chief, meaning 'chief of the hill' thats me so look out or ill kick you out side... or of the hill.
And FWIW I loved the shit hole, crickey no need to watch out for spills on the carpet, a new stain just matched the old stains... was a bit concerned eating off the kitchen floor especially as I was sharing it with a chicken and weka... tell ya what ya live a whole lot longer living like that than stressed out in town.

Now, this Roger fella... I must of missed him as I reckon I was 1st to arse up ('cept HOT on the DR) and bail out for the night, that will learn me for starting drinking so early.

This one was great, the wet was typical coast and made it what it was, the lunch out was sweet. Chatter and natter, drinking and eating were alot of fun, as was watching the antics unfold with Roger and associates.

He's very happy to be back. Back that is to sleeping 17 hours a day as dogs do. We spent three days just beyond Motuaka for some sun and sand trying to avoid DOC 'No Dogs' signs. As we seemed to be doing throughout the trip. He hated the Ferry the most howling his head off.
I dropped the bike all loaded up with a full tank at about 2 kph doing a U turn outside a fire station there. Didn't do any damage, but T jumped out smartish and millions of firemen rushed out to help. Hope it didn't go into their books for accident stats and it makes the Harley and the Honda one all for the trip
