I can definitely go to one, but which?

If I go to the Pissed Penguin i'll just end up getting pissed, but then those Canterbury guys don't know what drinking is so I'd still be sober for ride home.

The Pissed Penguin Malcolm - we ned more KBers of the right calibre there!!

No need to drink - I'll do THAT for you!!!!

Sounds like a plan.

Too late, I've decided on the Little River Rally. Stromfrau and I are going to the blossum Festival musical here in Alex tomorrow night, and next weekend I 'll be using the round trip to Little River as a practice ride for the 1000 miler.

But SD you can still get pissed for me tomorrow night. Only an idiot would get pissed in or near Alex this weekend.

was open a week ago... didn't see any sign saying they were going to be shut.
You aren't thinking back to last year when they were closed are you? They have been doing a great trade since change of ownership, we stop in there most weekends.

I was talking to the manager about a two months ago and he said it would be closed within a week, Then I saw him the other day driving a truck for Northern Southland

See ya there Stu

So it looks like Smokin, NC, Mr Sensible, Sniper, hairy stu and myself. Any others?

It'll be be my first time at this rally, so any hints on where to camp, where to meet etc?

**dangerous** · 28th September 2006, 20:37

na, but keen to meet up at the hilltop for a beer...???

**Jantar** · 28th September 2006, 20:45

Sounds good Dangerous, but I'm not sure what time I'd arrive. I intend to leave Alex around 9:00 am, but this will be my first long trip on the Strom with lowered gearing (down 12%), so I'm not sure what my cruising speed will be. I should reach the rally site between 2:00 and 3:00 pm. If its closer to 2:00 then I'll carry on up to the Hilltop, but if its after 3:00 I'll just stop at the rally site.

I think Jwalkers coming along as well, he is going to meet us along the way as we are cruising over. vote for pedro is coming as well.
Last year we went straight through the gate to the far end so we could get a little bit of distance from the stage, Im on a red/white/blue 04 Blade and pedros on a green RF900.

Yeah Dangerous, I'll have an ale with ya.

Sorry Jantar, as much as I want to, I'm not going to be able to make it. Looks like I'm not going to be able to get at all, bugger.
