2009 South Island KB Rally

[Jantar]

We have had more nominations than the maximum number of voting options. I have therefore combined some options and left a few off as they are very close to another option. This is a multiple option poll so you can vote for more than one location. Please only vote for locations that you would be prepared to travel to.

Edit: The Takaka option should include Mapua.

[Solly]

Cast your vote here.

Ummmmmm...where??

..........In a galaxy far far away:2thumbsup

Somewhere in mid Canterbury maybe??


Edit: oh I see now...duh!!!

So its agreed then, its to be in the south island.. somewhere.. anywhere is good. :laugh:

[McJim]

My favourite spots are blackheads. Y'know those ones that you can just squeeze and squeeze until you have a big long yellow worm lookin' thing hanging off yer face.:sick:

Seriously though - I voted Haast coz I can get there without dropping my bike on gravel and can ride there and back without losing so much oil that I need to top her up again.
Any further than that and I need to carry a bottle of 10W50.

[scumdog]

You make seem so wrong to have to add oil.

One litre for 150 miles use to be what I needed for my bike a few years back...

Oh, and ain't Haast a tad far south??

[McJim]

One litre for 150 miles use to be what I needed for my bike a few years back...

Have all these spots been OK'd as having what we need?? - can't be stuffed trawling through all the old posts on this topic but I recall some doubts being expressed whether some of them had enough room, cabins, space without anyone else etc etc
A brief description of each would help - otherwise I guess the random choice thing will have to do:doh:

[_Shrek_]

So did sidewinder I see - you pair of dickheads :stupid: you may as well have not voted at all :bash:

the poll on the home page just said "choose your favourite spots" & I did :2guns:

:doh: It didn't say anything about the next sth Is KB get together

Subike & Shrek are off on a little pootle & will let you know where its going to be held.... watch this space :done:

Edit: good onya sidewinder :laugh:

KB Rally - 2009. Suggestions as to where to hold it.

So far they have all been the 2nd week of December.



if we keep it the same all the time then every one knows & can book their time off etc...

Nothing wrong with the 2nd weekend in December

Absolutely, because I've got to book so far out or the boss will just to me.

these ^^^^^ were some of the comments made when a discussion was had on an earlier thread


edit: subike, Mrs Shrek & me are off this Sat to the land of "Far Far Away" to check out the natives & will report back :wavey:

[Mikkel]

One thing to bear in mind - Sandflies.

Of the four top-rated choices so far, only Takaka is likely to be endurable due to the little fuckers. I realise this is going to brand me as a softie - but being eaten alive by tiny flies is going to have some impact upon how much I'll enjoy sitting around a paddock drinking booze and talking bullshit. Unless of course people expect we'll be riding from dawn to dusk - then it isn't an issue.

[_Shrek_]

One thing to bear in mind - Sandflies.

West Coast pharmacies have a share in the insect repellant plant & the sandflies are a hybrid breed ie: (man made)

but if you start eating vegemite now you might have enough home made repellent in your system by the time Dec gets here

[Ghost_Bullet]

Damn what!!!! Sanfly's dont even hurt, sometimes even it is nice to have a good ole scratch up!! :cool:

[FJRider]

Yeah... toughen up.... and if you scratch my back ....

[98tls]

Damn what!!!! Sanfly's dont even hurt, sometimes even it is nice to have a good ole scratch up!! :cool: Canned Muslim:cool: chicken however is a vastly different thing.

Standing in the smoke of a fire helps to repel thoese pesky things... but if enough of the "bottled fluids" are consumed...

Don't worry :whocares:
Shrek and I fought bravely :2guns: and after Shrek realigned the cannon (see pic) were able to fight off the big beasties.
Put helmets on and visors down and beat a hasty retreat before the hungry blighters could regroup.


P.S. Would not let Shrek take cannon home, so that others could use it! :done:

[98tls]

Great work MR n Mrs Shrek,thing is we dont have to go there cause weve seen the pics now:shifty:Anyways can someone make a decision,As long as its a good ride with plenty of twistys i really dont care about the rest,after about 10pm it will make no difference.:shifty:

[Bren]

i really dont care about the rest,after about 10pm it will make no difference.:shifty:

Wot he said... :niceone:

[xknuts]

Well the poll closes tomorrow, and if you have voted you will see that the results make Nelson Lakes 1st choice, followed by Blackball & Haast a close
2nd. :second:
Now while that may seem democratic, the real test is whether any of those sites are suitable for our needs, and this is up to our self appointed organisers "Shrek, Mrs Shrek & Subike" who appear to have put their hands up to help. :niceone:
We have been spoilt with our last 3 events which have just got better & better, but our expectations should not keep rising or we will end up staying @ sanitised motels with noise limits & other restrictions etc. :niceone:

We need a camp to ourselves, accommodation for 40-60 approx, & $ per night @ the lower end $20 - $30pp. :done:
Thanks Shrekkies

Blackball is out coz the accom is too $$$$ 1st hotel 55pp pn B&B 2nd Hotel $20pp pn & the hall would have to be hired for the hole W/E & the community centre is another building & then there is the domain for tents in another area

all in all to spread out & to $$$$ would also allow the local D/H's to rockup

there is a camp ground at charleston but may have to share with Tourist's so there would be some resrictions waiting on a reply

at the moment Kopara has what we want & the Bar prices an't bad eva

Sounds like Kopara is it then... :woohoo:

[SDU]

Awesome piccies Shrek's & that place just ouzzes character. Would be good to see Mrs Shrek ride her new bike there;)

[Mr Triple]

Put in for holidays for the second weekend in December about two weeks ago and the buggers turned me down. :angry2:

[Mikkel]

West Coast pharmacies have a share in the insect repellant plant & the sandflies are a hybrid breed ie: (man made)

Yes, sitting around in the baking sun, covered in DEET, drinking booze, etc. Sounds about right for us motorcyclists who have absolutely no regard for our own safety. Guess I'll have to bring a burka then :D

[Subike]

after spending a weekend at Kopara 3 years ago,
I have trouble remembering the sandflies.
either they were all on holiday or they had a big mozzie net covering the village.
What I do remember is
we had a wicked party in a real old west coast pub,
so old the bar was a slab of wood on two beer barrels
the barman had flintlock pistols in his belt and wore a possom skin hat.
The bouncers were armed with black powder flintlock rifles
the bar maid had a full length dress on ,, but the cleeeeeevvvvaggeeee!!!!
The huts are warm and dry, the showers DO have hot water
and the road there and back is a fun ride even if it is hard packed gravel.
Cooking?
electrickery does exist in the kitchens, but you can cook on an open fire if you like.

EXCELLENT choice of locations. It is a magic spot and if you haven't been there before I guarantee it will be memorable - for a number of reasons.

And there is also Mr Cooper just up the road if it all becomes too much.:nono:

Looks like it'll be a job for the motard!

[Hinny]

One thing to bear in mind - Sandflies.


Best insect repellent I have found is baby oil and Dettol.
Good for small children as well I am informed. Better than covering them in poisons.

D, you will really need to find a map which shows a bit more detail that the whole world. You can get to Kopara from either the Jacksons/Lake Brunner end off the Arthurs Pass rd (47.7km) or from Ngahere half way between Reefton and Greymouth (34.9km). It is not a main highway (hard packed dirt for most of the way) but no problems for any bike.

Magic. A leisurely ride through thick bush (beech etc) past a lake or two out to the end of beyond. Haupiri, a little past Kopara, is the end of the road and has a bunch of old logging stuff and sawmill.

Mr. Cooper, the head of the Cooperite cult/community have their property in the area. There was a book about him released this week I believe (this is NOT an invitation for this thread to go :Offtopic: )
:Oops: too late

[Mrs Shrek]

Ok... as per my last post there dosnt even seem to be a road in LOL,


2 ways in. 1way no metal other way hard compact stuff (even you would be able to ride on :rofl: and not a lot of kms either

Had to choose somewhere out of the way so that we could sneak dangerous in :Oops:

[Mr Triple]

The last time I was out that way was about twenty years ago. Did a delivery late one night nobody was around then total darkness gave me the willies. That was before Mr Copper move in up the road, so should of been safe I guess.:sweatdrop
A very good pick, well done to Mr & Mrs Shrek for their work.:yes:

[doc]

no, that would be the Yamaha owners rally... :woohoo:

Na thats been cancelled. The company has diversified and now exports letuce.

Japs are very resourceful.

At the Bushmans centre in Pukekura (not far south of Ross) on the south island west coast. Is a mossie they captured and stuffed. Then hung it out to dry. It now doubles as an "open" sign. If you see it... they're open. "Repellants" are measured in caliber... not content.

Pictured is the one I'm talking about.


The 'Puke pub is just across the road. Not a bad stop.

[Subike]

to get to the pub,
you get out of your sleeping bag, head to the biggest building on the site.
Say a few nice words to the barmaid
and get your poison.
There is a licenced pub on site run by the Black Powder Gun Club.

The last few k's to the site are a hard packed shingle road, but dont let that worry you, as even harleys can survive it with no worries.

There will be no need to fight over beds either, as there are plenty of cabins, and at least three dorm houses that sleep 10 each.

Cooking is no prob either, a full sized kitchen at our disposal.

And we can have a big camp fire as there is a place for that tooo.
As long as we dont see self made pizza appearing at the fire side,
And D , keep you pants ON this time!!

[dangerous]

hey so a tecie type question, can ya google earth this place you know zoom down from outer space to see the area?
Ill down load the google earth thing and have a look if ya can?





... ok did it anyway, ummmmm... theres nothing there LOL, with out looking back through the posts, is there a shop and pub?

There is a target shooting range across the road from the Village
I am sure that it would not take much effort, maybee a few $ and we could get the gunpowder club to come out Sat afternoon for us all to have a supervised play with their long rifles, blunderbusses and flintlocks

Don't you mean "Flinchlock". Sorry I'm into more reliable forms of ignition. Bangin a hunk of quartz on the side of ya gun seems so primitive to me.

Good idea tho, to introduce something different. Some of them may stay sober a bit longer this time.

Ahhh shit, ment to post this a month ago... a work mate is in a band that DONT play covers, but only there own heavy rock called N.E.D now they played last Friday night at the Dux De Lux, I ment to get it posted befor then incase anyone wanted to scout em out.
Any ways, whats ya feelings of having them play at the 09er rally?

All respect to them for playing their own stuff, however...

Going by rally and KB-do experiences so far I'd be willing to wager a sizeable amount that people won't be so much in "music appreciation" mode as in "get wasted and rock out to the well known tunes (done well mind)" mode.

That said, if they came and played their own stuff - but weren't afraid to mix in the odd cover it could be quite good. I'm just thinking about the number of times I've been to music festivals where upcoming bands, so busy playing only their own original stuff, absolutely fail to get the crowd going besides the one or two well known hits they might have...
