Rusty Nuts?

[KoroJ]

BODY parts actually .....

I just had my right hip joint replaced. By December I should be ride fit. And the bike legal again ...

Shouldn't be a problem. I had my left hip done at the end of August last year and did the Capital 1000
km Cruise at the beginning of November.

I only decided to get it done when they pulled the pin on last year's GC...so that decision wasn't all bad on the part of the Rustys.

The first 1000 km's is the easy bit. For the last 600 km's ... it gets harder.

We have wondered the same,as there seemed to be alot of avoidance on the topic when it was rasied iin Bluff.
I do fail too see where our rego cost went,considering they indicated they had 90 bikes registered,and $150/rider plus $90/pillon sure adds up..

However we did enjoy the event,but if they can't afford the badges they should just say so..as its not the first time where people haven't recieved badges when they have been told they would recieve a badge.

When you look at the income from entry fees, the actual cost of running such an event, and if you know the true cost of providing badges, then you are drawn to only one conclusion as to why they might not be provided...


Like other the posters on this thread, I too enjoyed the Rally, but the sour taste from Bluff lingers.

I didn't go to the after function @ Eagle Tavern but met a few riders in Invercargill grabing a bite & rumours apparently where already surfacing at the tavern as to why Lee didn't attend the function, seems a big waste after reading the last trumpet advising all that issues had been fixed from 2012

anything yet ??? still no replies from email's sent....

[Racing Dave]

Mine, and others that I know of, have yet to have any replies to emails. The less than subtle comments in BRM have triggered no response.

My article in July Kiwi Rider (on the racks in a couple of days) has a couple of gentle barbs, too.

An explanation from Lee is due - anyone know how to prod some action?

[nadroj]

For some reason I don't think barbs will work with Lee.
Several rusty members have been aware of the situation for a while and have voiced their concerns with some suggesting alternatives.

Good luck with that, I suspect any explanation will be a long time coming. Lee always organised these runs because he enjoyed it. If he has to give everyone explanations for everything then the enjoyment has gone, that's part of the reason he never wanted sponsorship or to become more commercial.
Living up to others expectations can be a pain in the arse because in many instances the expectations are totally unrealistic. I don't know the in's & out's of all this but I have known Lee for 30 years

Hope it all works out for him, good bugger when all is said & done.

[Racing Dave]

I don't think my expectations are too high - all I want is a reply to an email, and the fulfilment of the terms for entering the Southern Cross. Simple courtesy, I reckon.

Has anyone actually picked up the phone for a one-on-one? I've always found Lee a decent bloke in a 1:1 situation in the past although circumstances might have changed.

"the fulfilment of the terms for entering the Southern Cross".

thats all I'm looking for...... otherwise what did my entry fee get me ?

On the Rusty website, the only contact details are a PO Box address and email details, neither of which have proved effective.

You supply a phone number, I'll be happy to make the call.

Cheers

Why don't you contact the media.....no, wait......

Sorry Dave Lee was still in Auckland last time I spoke to him

[*caution*]

Anyone know if its happening this year?

I heard a rumor it was, but haven't heard anything since, nothing on their website.
