Who's in?

It should be a fab weekend!
I'll be booking my ticket and meals soon methinks.

And we should organise a ride down.
Last year the guys I went with did something like this.

Any questions, ask away!

It's a weekend long rally. We all head there, pitch a tent and proceed to do stupid shit and get drunk. There are massive bonfires at night, and there's also a marquee with the bar and bands (at night) it in. There are food trailers which are ok if you want to live on hot chips and burgers for the weekend, otherwise you can prebook the main meals, or take your own. There's competitions during the day on Saturday, such as a wheelie competition, slow race, weenie snatch, hill climb, hill run and so on...

Hope that helps

Oh, and it's cold! Last year it snowed for a wee bit on Fri night, but there is boiling water for hot water bottles, and it's not so cold if you have someone to cuddle at night.

Be my guest. I prefer to get there with enough time to set the tent up and have a wander before it gets dark, without having to leave at 6 in the morning.

I rode down with some of the South Auck crew last year, we left Autobahn at 9am, and got there around 3-4, incl an hourish lunch break and a few petrol stops. You can lead the extended one if you want, I'll be taking a more direct route

That's actually perfect timing. There's a good chance I'll be there, as I planned to ride down to Wellington on the 4th anyway for my 21st on the 11th.

Would start the journey with you guys, anyway. Realise you'll be long gone by Bombay though.
