      Mmm, lamborific. Are bikes and cars in the fast group unleashed on the track at the same time?

      I reckon if this had appeared somewhere in the 'general bike ravings' forum it would have received way more attention. 3 teams sounds a bit short.

      So apart from the 4 guys in the team that's gonna win, rain or not, and walk away with thousands of $$$ worth of free sponsors products - how many bikes are signed up from KB? And in total, if the OP is still checking this thread??

      Pretty sure I met them. That's if they were the sensible ones who piled into one car rather than ride four bikes in the pissing rain.

      In case anyone is interested, there were 11 bikes entered, 7 riders turned up, of which 4 were in a car so a total of 3 bikes (all of which were CBRs) and somewhere close to 250 cars and 600 people from memory. Sadly bikes weren't allowed on the track at HD as they decided it was too dangerous (as had 2 out of 3 riders).

      Fun day though, even in the nasty weather. Really impressed with how well it was organised and how extremely well behaved everyone was (referring only to the driving on public roads part). I'll be back next year for sure and hope to see a lot more bikes.

      Hmmmmmmmm
      So this cannonball run is nothing like the US one then?

      For such rubbish weather it was pretty darn fun. Being saturated wasn't that great, but funny when recalling it. I reckon it would be epic next year in good weather.

      Yeah the others had wisely decided the track was too dodgy in the wet. I had to get told so by the organiser which is prob just as well. Had been looking forward to it too long, and prob would have gone out on it if it was two feet underwater.

      Probably to some degree, but if there was driving craziness going down we didn't see much of it really.

      Yeah that was us. At first I felt bad about not taking the bike but as the day got worse and worse I was happy to have made that decision.

      It was a load of fun even in the car. I have to say we didnt witness any overtly "stupid" driving but lets say there was some over zealous stopping when items were spotted (at speed). In the wet on the bike would have been a challenge. I would probably do it again but not too sure about on the bike as following the instructions was difficult enough in the car.

      yeah probably even on a nice day i would still do it in a car,also dont take heavy drinkers,my 3 passengers all started drinking when we left home at 6.30am and about an hour in to the start none of them could really even read the instructions to me anymore!
      felt sorry for the two in the ariel atom,they were drenched and shivering when we stopped at kaiaua for a pee stop,i think they would have gladly swapped thier eye magnet for our shitbox 86 mirage by then
