Burt Munro Challenge (B B B B M)

[Winston001]

Looking forward to meeting some of you at the Rally. We need a flag or agreed place to bump into each other and I'm not sure what to suggest. Any ideas?

I've got three mates coming down from various places and we are planning on visiting the Truck Museum on Friday afternoon. Despite living here, I've never seen it. Details on the Venture Southland website.

JARED LOVE READY FOR BURT MUNRO CHALLENGE

Street Champion, Jared Love is all set to light up the streets of Invercargill on the big Ducati 996R this weekend. With a bag fill of wins and a new BEARS lap record set at Phillip Island, Australia in August, this is the combination to watch for as Jared streaks down the streets of Wyndham at speeds in excess of 250km per hour.

This weekend is the first time the Burt Munro Challenge has been held and its all in the name of Burt Munro, the man who holds the land-speed record on a Indian Scout. His feat was so great it has made the big screens with the block buster The World's Fastest Indian. This weekend is a tribute to the great Kiwi from Invercargill, NZ.

Invercargill have put together "one hell of a weekend" with the Burt Munro Challenge Rally, Beach Race, Memorial Endurance Race, Speedway Spectacular and Wyndham Street Race. It will be the place to be however if you can't make it, SKY TV have confirmed they will be filming a two hour special.

LOVE will race the Fast by Marcus Ducati at the Endurance Race Saturday 24th November at Teretonga Raceway and the Wyndham Street Race on Sunday the 25th November in both Formula 1 and BEARS classes. With competition coming from as far as the UK and US, the racing should be fast paced and exciting, but with 6 wins from 6 starts at the Greymouth Street races fresh in his mind from four weeks ago, Jared is very confident.

We hope to see you all in Invercargill.

Lots & lots of bikes heading past my place on the way to the Burt Munro.

Wind is REALLY going for it and I would say a wet ride from Clinton to Invercargill (about 100km of travel)for those going.

Me? I'm heading north, wind will be behind me and so (with a bit of luck) will the rain.

[Winston001]

Yeah the wind is getting up a bit but it'll blow out. Might make for an interesting night in the tent!
