He's probably referring to the 1000 mile run in Mid October. You basically end up riding for 20+ hours non-stop. Sounds like hell but it's actually a lot of fun.Originally Posted by Celtic_Sea_lily
Do tell me more about October though!

Yes Mathew is correct October is when a bunch of people meet in Turangi, decide on a 1000mile trip and then those who have paid the money ride non-stop until the trip is complete.
Check out the www.rustynuts.co.nz website or search the KB web site for RustyNuts.

Yeah Matthew sent me the link - sounds like a butt punishing ride!Might be just what the Doctor ordered as I'll have exams a few weeks later.
Another mate has also mentioned to me about the Guzzi Rally - open to all riders, not sure of any other details yet though.

Ha, ha. Amazing how time dulls the memory. Matthew and I finished pretty close together. You should have seen the glazed expressions/thousand yard stare.
It is an experience though, that's why it's called "The Grand Challenge". I've been doing them since 99. Two guys have done every one (17).
un sogno
Yes, I seem to recall lying down on the grass soon after the finish and sleeping for a few hours while the other bikes came in
I did manage to ride home later that day which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

In the riders seat
When I did it in 92 one Ducati F1 rider was towed the last 160 odd km by another nutter on a 1100 Katana at speeds of up to 180kmh just so he could finish as he had done every one up till then,him and his mate on a RZ500 seemed to consider it a race.
