I'm really hanging out to get to a rally at the moment.

I've the weekend off then, plan on being there.

Is this a new one? Says it is organised by the Whitestone Motorcycle Touring Club.
Oldrider do you have anything to do with this one?
I'll post the details if anyone wants them.

hmmmmm... if i had a tent and sleeping bag... new rear tyre... i'd go

In all honesty I'm jealous but I do kind of wish they would stop trying to make political statements and just play their music.

No arguments there

This rally is the same date as all the BRONZ charity toy runs around the country as well. BRONZ Otago has its Xmas do on the Sat night too. I am expecting to do the toy run but not the other - anyone else doing the Dunedin Toy run?

Yep, should be there. Watch for two short-arses on a Virago......

What time does the Toy Run start/finish?
And is there enough time for a person to do it AND go to the Long Drop?

**Ruralman** · 27th November 2006, 21:25

The toy run is advertised to start at 1:30 from Carey's Bay - apparently Dunedin riders have often done both, even going up to the rally on Friday, back for the toy run on Sat and then back to the rally. There are a couple of alternative routes you can take to add interest.
Still seems a bit silly BRONZ Otago organizing their Xmas do for the Sat night though.

**scumdog** · 29th November 2006, 20:06

So who's going????

And yeah Ruralman, shame about the BRONZ Xmas do on the same night - after the Winchester/Burt Munro rally clash I'm hoping it's not starting a trend.

I'm meeting a mate who owns the south end of Milton 4 square (ie not the one by the kink in the road at the North end) just after 12 noon on Sat outside his shop and will ride through to the careys bay get together from there.
Its meant to finish around 3- 3:30 in the Octagon so there'll be plenty of time to ride up to Duntroon. Sat looks like the weather will be good as well.
Hadn't decided what to do for lunch - maybe a steak at the Westside cafe' in Milton before leaving?
Talked to W'Bee last night - she's going to the toy run and will either meet up with us en route or catch up at Carey's Bay.
Does this suit SD? and is there anyone else coming from down South or central?
(I presume Jantar will be racing around the Sth Isalnd somewhere on the Chatto Creek 1000 miler)
