Pissed Penguin 19 Sept - which Adv Riders are going?

[Monstaman]

I could forgive the red hair darling

... you seem like a nice guy and all but ... without soundin funny ... well you know

You sound like toddy, he is a hobbit and rides a 950 super enduro!

[Ruralman]

well you got the bald & the orange thing you ride right so it's no surprise that you fancy guys younger than you

cya down there monstaman

Ssshhhhh - you're ruining the surprise - have enough trouble keeping up with the Princess and she's the same age!! lol

Yeah I've met the Toddy - I don't think that 950 gets shown any mercy either!!
If you're doing a sealed trip then talk to the Shrek's - think they're going via Bluff with a couple of the ChCh rabble.
Sounds like the official opening of that newly sealed road will be a happening so I need to be there for that, but will probably head down the coast and meet up at the whistling frog as soon as we can get away.

I'm seriously wondering about going down on Friday night and setting up the tent then so we can play all Sat without worrying about having to claim a tent site

[Monstaman]

Yeah well normally we come down Saturday but I might look at doing the same on Friday night, come through Beamont, Clydevale etc.

Just found out we have a do to go to on Sunday lunch in Wanaka as well which I promised to be at ... me and my big mouth, didn't realize till today it is the same weekend .

Opening/housewarming and birthday party for a client, just finished a complete fire re-build, as far as we are aware the single biggest residential fire claim in NZ $$ wise.

Anyway, can have my cake and eat it to, just gonna have ta hightail from the site early to accomplish all.

[Ruralman]

Well I got an email today which I will paste here:

"The date has now been set for the official opening of the new seal for the Ahuriri Flat/Karoro Creek Roads which connect the Owaka Highway to Willsher Bay near Kaka Point.

The date is SATURDAY 19 SEPTEMBER at 1.00 pm to coincide with the motor cycle Penguin Rally. The ribbon will be cut on the road by the Willsher Bay Domain after which there will be a mass drive through of the motor bikes taking part in the rally. The proceedings will then move to the Kaka Point Hall for afternoon tea."


The guts of this is that I certainly want to be there for this opening - but we'll bugger off as soon as its done (which won't take long) and I reckon we'll get to the Whistling Frog about 2pm.
We can do a gravel ride to the site in the morning for those staying here, get the tents up then the road opening......
Hopefully there'll be a few KBrs who fancy a trip down through the Catlins and back rather than the rally ride out which is just a 3 pub pub crawl usually.

Sounds like a plan your highness

Protecting the princess from the paparazzi does not make me a "your highness" Ok !!
Anyway I suppose its the start of some kind of plan - so are you travelling solo or duo ?

Hi all - the Pissed Penguin at Wilsher Bay is coming up on Sept 19th. Who of the adventure riding persuasion is intending to go?
As in past events I can cope with a few bodies here on the Friday night and then plan some sort of devious route to the rally site on Sat morning.

I'm going and i'm very adventuous

One has just pulled out so I think I only have one extra here on Friday - my plans are still to ride to the site in the morning, set up the tent, do the road opening thing and then head down the Catlins to the Whistling frog for coffee and then back again to the rally
What are your plans now?

The bike rallies should be just your thing

Sounds like that bug is doing the rounds down here as well - fell like shit for a week, then suddenly feel great again, followed by sudden relapse 5-7days later - I'm glad you kept your bugs at home. Catch up another time
