I havent really forgiven Hog for cancelling the "Nationals". Outside the imediate area of a dealer it was the only reason I was remaining a member.

you going to hand back the harley underpants,aftershave,wallet on a chain ?

Excellent report. I'm going and registered which wasn't always done at HOG rallies I rode to. One item I noticed advertised that was good advice was pay for your drinks on the Fri. night venue by cash rather than by card. I hope you let sensible people buy more than 2 beers at a time after waiting in a queue if busy.
Choice venue with great riding there and a chance to catch up with many biker mates.

G'day Ratast,

Good point.

We will be meeting with hospitality providers early on both Friday and Saturday.

We will emphasise the need to provide multiple drink sales as best we can.

Licensed premises are under the gun to meet strict, "know your customer", rules in terms of intoxication.

But we will press home the point with the respective managers that in the early hours of the event there shouldn't be ANY problem with trying to provide a higher level of customer service in terms of multiple drink sales to reduce queueing.

Cheers!

G'day Ratusratus,

So glad you had a great time. I met ratast(who posted earlier in this thread) at registration. Great fella!

A lot of hard work by a lot of people made it possible(and some great luck with the weather).

First time that all NZ HD Dealers, their Teams, their HOG Chapters, HD/HOG, and other Harley riding volunteers worked together in collaboration for the event(many hands makes light work).

Everyone owns a piece of this success and it's continued success moving forward.

Sounds like you've nailed it.

Met heaps of guys n gals as we came back from the Rat run in ChCh/Hamner.
They booked out the return sailing we wanted, oh well, pulled up a table at Mikey's bar in Picton, and watched the black caps work their
magic on sth Africa.

(Riding through the Buller, with 1340's chasing is awesome)
