KBers @ Burt Munro Challenge?

[FJRider]

Yeeaahh.....it is a tad windy at the moment.

It's been gusting 80-100 km/hr in central Otago for most of the day. It's turned into a southerly ... so anybody heading south take care. Forecast for tomorrow is no better ...

Bring your Stihl up here ... plenty of "firewood" lying about ...

Winds 100kmh+ in Gore.Awesome riding weather Take it easy.

Excellent. Its probably all willow which is fine but burns like snow before the sun. The nice thing about Queens Park is the occasional elm or other hardwood falls over and that burns very hot.

Raining here now too but the lads and lasses will be in a good mood I'm sure.

Well, CB and I headed down Thursday afternoon, a dry-but-wind-blasted trip I can tell you, mostly head-wind and at a guess between 70 -80km.

Set up the tent OK - and marvelled at the poor choice of some regarding their chosen camping spot!!
Most moved to a better place the next day.

Even our spot was getting a tickle-up from the wind, we had a steady rain of pine-needles and the constant roar as the wind went through the pine-trees made it hard to sleep for CB.

Beach race was cancelled due to the wind but we watched at Teretonga as they guess battled the wind - some unorthodox looking lines/angles on soem of the bends.

Met one or two KBers plus other familiar faces I seem to see only at the BM.

CB had a gutsfull of the wind by late Saturday arvo so we buggered-off home and then rode down to Wyndham today for the street-races - a magic bit of entertaining, a must for any motorbike racing type to watch.

Home now, bikes washed (it seems it wasn't just pine needles that landed on them - evidence of a copious coating of salt-laden moisture was noticed on sensitive metal parts) and put away.

So yours wasnt one of the bikes being taken away by the local constabulary then? Thought it may be something to do with being in the wrong PATCH.

Did the Middlemarch to Outrum on Tuesday,came into Gore on Waimumu road and turing off at Miller road...great roads down there I will be back.....As for Gore I did have my dark visor on

[Quasievil]

I was there the whole week looking after the Britten, shame as I only meet one two Kbrs, Not Scumdog whom I would have liked to have met !

we could only show the bike at the wednesday night speedway and teretonga as t turned out, I wasnt going to risk taking the truck up to bluff for the hill climb and there wasnt room for the truck at todays street race, however heaps of people did get the chance to see it and the truck, we got the GTR R35 out and the 996 RSR Porsche out to which was a hit with the bikers.
Wind sucked

The best thing was the incredible genuine southern hospitality ive got lots of good examples of it, pity us northerners have lost the plot

Bummer dude - I was at Teretonga and looked at the Britten and commented to C.B. that I had met Mr Britten himself a long time ago - little did I know you were right there.....
