I also heard that the wallibie community is wishing to be extradited back to Aussie, they can not deal with such trauma from a man such as him.

And so terrorism sows its deadly seed,i admire that wallibie and the sacrifice it made,look out Australia i guess.Ali Ak Baaaaa.(Muslim sheep?)

The ride home through Fairlie and Geraldine was a first for me too.. what a weekend

Would just like to say thanks for your guys support attending the rally. Final count was 3250 give or take 10 or so. Minor issue with the booze bus but we are attempting to sort it out. Have had nuerous comments from the public about the low fail rate. Good to see no incidents and everyone home safely.
We are purchasing breath testing machines for anyone wishing to use them for next year.
Well we are already on the move starting to organise the 25th next year. Keep an eye on the website for updates and ifo. Its going to be huge with everything biger and better.

Ahhhh....you neglected to mention one important "incident", the Waimate Fire Brigade showing up at 3:15am to put out the fire caused by a few drunken munters. I think there may be a connection with the breath testing of every single rider leaving the campsite and the delays it caused, ya think? The Fire Service guys were getting abused and cheeky abuse hurled in their direction....bare in mind these guys were woken from their slumber and I bet they were pissed about that!!! Ya think maybe they may have a few cops as mates??? I guarantee they do! Consider this my fellow bikeoids, I wonder if there will be ramifications for next years Rally.
Ok, rant aside (and I have been known to be a "loose cunt") excellent Rally and I managed to slip out early...5am, so I missed all the action but FUCK it was cold and foggy to Timaru!

**_Shrek_** · 9th March 2010, 20:47

in the system

we left home straight after the kids went to school 1130ish

in the rain, by the time we got to millers flat it was a drizzal & by the time we were half way to lake onslow it had stopped, but the mist was at ground level & a little bit slippy under foot

: by the time we got to the lake the cloud had lifted & made got time, stopped at ranfurly for coffee then on to danseys pass for a bite & pint then off over the pass & waimate.
set up in the same spot as last year as i needed to hang my bed some where as there was no room for the hat stand as i had Mrs Shrek's gear as well, then off to see who was already here & what do i find but solly house trained & in public

"well done Kay"

Not sure about that, the logic is sound but the cop car that passed us just before Tinwald with the same copper that asked me to talk to the machine in the passanger seat and two others in the back that looked far to relaxed for a transfer on naughty people, then was observed head out of Ashburton towards Christchurch would possably place that in doubt.

Left the rally site about 11:30 when the queue to talk to the

machine had died down a bit. Headed off to Otamatata to visit the "old riders" but they were not home.... again. Continued on to Omarama, stopped for an ice cream and caught up with xknuts, then off over the Omarama Saddle. Beaut ride and views. Met people even! Went out via St. Bathans, Becks then home to dry out (even though it had not rained all weekend)

1: St Bathans
2: Shrek and bike taking a wee nap
3: Shrek cooling off
4: View at the top of the Omarama Saddle
