but soon as i do they will be on.
hopefully this year would be nice.

We are still waiting for your pic's buddy, their must be more than one PC up there in JAFFA land to use, come on mate lift your game.

I'm in rally mode and want to do it again, even went out and got a slightly bigger tent, so we do not have to sleep under some of our gear.
And smacking each other around when we are trying to get dressed.
But smacking good right?

For the CH.CH lot, Fairydown are having a half price sell out at Dress-Smart Hornby Mall.
Tent's good one's alpine grade for under $300 and clothing for the next Brass Monkey Rally.
I think that there is one more 3 man tent, but there are a lot of 2 mans tent still left.

It was all so great to hear that you Northerners had a great time down here at the rally.
See you lot next year?

T.I.E ? are you talking about this fella Lemans?

Good heads-up on the Camping equipment too, there's bound to be a few takers on getting new/extra gear.

I do not know him well enough to recognise the feet T.W.R.
You say it T.I.E, I'll believe you, the poor tired young chap.

And were silly enough and went back to look again and come away with more stuff.
O well it's good gear and it is cheap.

Well sad news guys, T.I.E is no longer a JAFFA. He's moved up north of Whangarei to run a cafe.

Guess he will be needing the extra thermals next year as will be from the winter less north.

Well, the bike got a clean this arvo, 3 hours!!!! There was this black sticky stuff stuck to the cans that only WD40 would remove. The cow shite was caked all over everything. There was even a suspicious layer of green stuff on the speedo!

Of all of rides I've done over the years that would have to be the dirtiest.

T.I.E took his wax chain lube with him and was very generous, the fling was all over the rear.

On the bad news front the clutch slave is leaking fluid. I'm seriously considerring a fully faired shaft drive for next year!

Glad everyone had great trips & enjoyed the rally.
Bet we are all glad we aren't there now! Naseby had a foot of snow early this morning I wonder how our tents would have held up if that fell on site Sat nite.

Hell it's still snowing here in ChCh now.

TWR are you snowed in yet?
Love seeing the pics everyone & look forward to seeing T.I.E's too & anyone else who have some to add.
The ones off the Passes look tempting (mud is good) I might have to look into going that way next year.

Hey T.I.E good luck for your venture.

PS Thanks for the reps people!

My first Monkey! YEY! Got frozen on the way up thru Middlemarch on Saturday, but thankfully no ice etc..on the roads, as i am not that experienced with riding yet. By the time we got to Ranfurly the weather turned to be beautiful. Loved it, and lots of sun at the rally site too. Nite was pretty warm, so i was more than happy.

Coming back to Dunnas was cold again, but got back just before it started pissing down with the rain, and snowing later on Sunday nite.
