Fees: Entry $65.00 (includes BADGE, SUNDAY MEAL, 1^st Beer.
FRIDAY ACCOM EXTRA $19.00 (includes Sat breakfast) YES/NO
SUNDAY ACCOM EXTRA $19.00 (includes Mon breakfast) YES/NO

The really expence is what it is going to cost you to get your bike up to scatch to do this Challange. Remember the bike must be deemed by the Scrutineers as being able to do another 1000Miles (1600Km) after finnishing. That's a total of 2000miles (3200Km) and that's not counting the Km's you do to get there.

Tothe dude who wants to know entrance fee it is $65 - accom on friday and sunday nights if required is 19 bucks extra a night and that includes a good breakfast.

TO the dude on the scooter. it has been done on a PX200 but they finished outside of time by 30 min, it was attemted by an Italjet - It broke, It was finally done by an Aprilia Leonardo 250 scooter - all three attempts were made by the same lady.
persistance pays off. The 500cc and up scooters have no probs.

To all others hope to see your there, I dont mean to sound like the heavy - but if you aint been before - be very aware we scrutineer all bikes HARD, we have to believe that it could start the run when it is over, dont turn up with tyres that are not gunna cut the distance, chains that are rooted, brakes that are spongy, and lights dont work.
The most common faults are with wheel bearings, steering head bearings, and brakes that need adjustment, leaking seals, - ALL these will see that you DONT start.
We have mechanics on site but they aint miriclae workers.

Behaviour counts for heaps - any arsehole behaviour at checkpoints will see the CP guys pull you out.

We dont give anyone any shit - we sure as hell dont take any shit, we aint in the shit business - if you ride with us you are privileged to ride with some of NZ finest riders,
newbees can learn heaps from them, just dont bring attitudes and bags of bullshit with you.

That said we would like you to have a go. The things you learn will surprise you, both about your bike and yourself.
Im sure those who have been will agree with me, we are really nice guys, we wont let one or two spoil it for others. And we have a reputation for safety that few clubs can match.

Collectively over 51 events we are approaching the 10 million Ks mark, with no serious injuries.

RideSafe

I'm going up on the 14th Smoggie - would be good to ride up with somebody. Maybe a couple of others going up on the same day?

*I'm about 20mins away from Pram.
