is not for lack of wanting that I don't take two weeks either side, however ...

life means there are few other things to juggle

but thanks for the advice

Hi mate, long time ... it would be nice to ride with you. I'll try to see if can get closer to your 2-3 days, can possible put 2 before and 1-2 after and may be try to catch up somewhere on the way and then leave somewhere on the way back.

Hey fellow dirt lovers,

I have just listed my Honda XR650R adventure bike on trademe...

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...129402&ed=true

If you or one of your mates are interested in doing the Dusty Butt but don't have a suitable bike look no further.
The bike is in Christchurch and if you are in the North Island I would be happy to store it for you until then (if you don't want it before hand).
Bike is all set up, serviced and ready to go
I used this bike on last years Dusty Butt and have done four other prior Dusty Butts on a previous XR which is near prefect for the event
Happy to discuss a buy back option if you are overseas
Don't be shy..021551969

Rgds Matt

Link is here for anyone from the NI or upper South wanting to do 2-3 days riding on the way to the DB1K.

It doesn't have to be Matt I guess, there are enough locals that have done it before, all it would take is a list of property owners and a bit of a briefing from Matt...

Bugger, could have done with a bit more warning - I came through ChCh tonight.

I've never done the DB1K, as it always clashed with the Britton Safari rides so moving to March should be awesome.

Just had the screws removed from the knee and going hard at the gym, so I think by then I'll be ready. I'd be keen to ride there and back from Welly.

Like some of the others, I dont think I will have much extra time other than get there and back.

I'll check family commitments before I register...does anyone know what the total registrations are so far???

I'm in!!

I have also booked the Britton Ride in the Far North...but Festy needs shoulder surgery so he's rooted, other mates have gone soft and my knee would probably benefit from a bit more time healing...so I'll likely not attend and save myself for the DB1K

I'll need to read up a bit more on the event, as I understand we are more self sufficient ie food and accomodation...compared to the sulubrious accomodation and organised food that Britton runs.

So Book ferry
Find accomodation
Carry food/perhaps fuel
Don't break down.

get down to CHCH some one will let you camp at their place,

Fairlie see if there are any spare beds at top10 or in one of motels as some pull out for different reasons etc....

Alex the same or you can drag your arse to Roxburgh & camp here for the night

then back to Farlie for the night etc...
