10 bikes from Wanganui going (that I know of). Maybe KB members could meet at the site somewhere and tip a few??

I am on if the gout and arthritis don't play up too much - and if it looks like reasonable weather. Last one I was at was in 1990 when the GB was but a youth.

Would be rude not to, living in Queenstown, now if someone would post the date I can organise time off work. Vespa's welcome these days??

I'll be there. Going with a few locals (SV1000, VTR1000, Pegaso 650, BMW F650, K75, and a XT660 from Auckland) Leaving on Wednesday, down the West Coast. Stopping in at Milford then back up to rally, Geraldine Sunday night. Should be good.

"Should be good".......... 'will be cold'.... Sounds like a big effort there Pete, does that mean you will be passing through Chch on Monday? if so and ya need a Coffee, drop in to Belfast.

Haven't been yet and can't make it this year as I've not clocked enough long distance riding experience to even think about attempting it. Saw it on telly recently - looks lovely.

Maybe in a year or five. An extra cylinder might help - won't get numb hands from all the vibrations of a single doing 8500 rpm - unless I'm holding on wrong?

I'm sure my neighbour across the road will be going. Only see his big black Kwa couple times a year and the Brass Monkey is one of his outings.

Enjoy the ride!

Yeah, I'll be there (unless too much black ice or the snow gets too deep) probably just for the Saturday, most likely solo (Chrissy-Bimbo don't like the cold that much).
May come up with a mate.

Got no KB i.d.

so I'll take pot-luck at meeting other KBers there.
