Woodstock Rally 2007

[T.W.R]

I was at the table with T.W.R and Lemans, Lemans was talking some kinda “hsilgne” It has been a while since I have had cramp in me cheeks from smiling so hard, I still don’t know what shite come from his mouth, but bloody funny. All was explained when he was found under a tree not far from the pub (thats his finger not mine, you shall see), (vid clip to follow).

SLLLUUURRSTTTTAAATEMENTOOOFTTHHHHEEYYYEEAARR definate winner of classic KB quotes, that's if it could have been deciphered
would have been magic caught on video

It was the Whitebait patties that did it that got swooped on by the vultures mmm squadron leader Buell

It was the Whitebait patties that did it that got swooped on by the vultures mmm squadron leader Buell

I tried to stop them taking the whitebait, but after hunting around the grounds of the pub for LeMans, carrying his dinner of a delectable plate of whitebait pattie in my hand, I just couldn't hold them all off and had to try it myself as well ...damn nice feed at the pub!

Well as all the others have said it was a good trip, tho the trip home was not the best, going down porters was particularly bad, kept having to chop and change gears, 1st was too low and 2nd was just about too high, damn it. The wind did take me across the road a few times thru the deep shit, but made it down, somehow. Hmm, sometimes having a light bike is NOT the best thing.
Apart from that had a bloody fantastic trip. Lewis pass from Springs to reefton was just marvelous...I would have to say it is one of my fav peices of road this year. Last year we had 10kms of gravel, with a cop on our tail...50kms hour all the way. This year the road was superb! Sun shining thru the trees, nice smooth corners, and a good pace behind Dangerous, with I think Thunder behind me? I seemed to end up either following Thunder or him following me all the way, handy cos of the radar detector on board his bike. Interesting when we compared fuel comsumption; 11litre compared to 15 (chch to springs)...and NO the HD was NOT the big guzzler

The fireworks at the rally were excellant, the view from the beer tent was grand, nice to be able to see the incoming bikes... esp when waiting for 'special friends' to arrive...eh Chic'n'charge

ah well, roll on next weekend...off to auckland for the HOG rally for me and a adventure for Dangerous in the big wilds of the North Island. The rest of ya can go to the Vincent, I will get back to that rally one year! Its a good'un too!

[XF650]

Another great Rally & good to meet some of the KB members.
Does anyone know how many registrations? The organisers must have been rapt with the turn out.

[SDU]

After a late start on Saturday & the hills looking a bit dubious weather wise I rocked up towards Arthur's, passing Lemans & SDU on their new MGs leaving them to tinker along at their own pace.

Told ya I rode like a nana!

The roadworks were interesting, Porter's pass in heavy fog & fresh seal wasn't the fun in usually is. Arthur's to Otira wasn't much better.

What an understatement! Glad they had improved heaps for those that took that route home.

The site was awesome…the atmosphere was great, weather was just a bonus.
CONGRATS to the Sensible couple on 23yrs… and great to have that feed at the Woodstock to celebrate.

Ditto to all that!

Have a good trip north guys.

Well I survived my biggest ride yet. The weather was awesome most of the trip. A bit of fog on porters (on Sat) & a bit of light rain for a few km's halfway between Reefton & Springs Junction (we went through the Lewis home) other than that it was sunny & hot as. It was a good rally, even if I missed the tank as Lemans decided he had to take a nap under a tree next to the pub. Shit happens if ya drink lots on an empty stomach. We staggered weaved back to the site just on dark. I left him to guard the tent & went back to the party. Lemans showed up sometime after 1am. It was good to see ya all & meet those I haven't met before. I look forward to seeing ya all at the vincent

[miSTa]

Was a great rally with some great people. Lots and lots of stories but best left on the rally.

To those who joined Mrs S and I for a feed at the pub - thanks it was great having your company for our 23rd wedding anniversary. Now for the next 23.

TWR I'm a bit scared of you now - too many photos

I guess have to make a honourable mention to Jesus aka Lemans for his ressurection. Top marks.

The clown would have to be Ghost Bullet aka President Clinton - there's one in every bunch and guess who it was this time?

Roll on the next rally, oh bugger its next weekend.

[dangerous]

Ohh yeah, and how he kept a straight face like it was his name was funny as... the waitress bringing our food out was calling our names, hand goes up and ya get ya feed, our names were asked for when we ordered... when she came out and shouted President Clinton... GB put his hand up

[Silage]

1) Someone had to hold up the bar
2) The hot cage and tent city
3) Mmmm fireworks

My first time to a Woodstock also. Cal, Brent (first rally ever) and I cruised to Reefton Friday avo and stayed in the Old Nurses Hostel Accommodation. Excellent place to kip. Leasurely start on Saturday - coffee in Greymouth, lunch at Hoki and to the rally by about 2:30. Jantar showed us a good spot as the place was filling up.

Overall the rally was well organised with a live band much of the time and the tank etc and no Harley bozo decided to light up at 4am as seems mandatory at other rallies. Good to meet a number of new KB faces and it was a bit special to help the Sensibles celebrate

Have to say however that I didn't really enjoy some of the riding. The weather leaving Chch was wet but clear patches up to the Lewis and then all clear. But when the front wheel let go on a wet bit of smoothe tar near the Hanmer turn off I was definitely ungrooved and nana'd thru the Lewis. Glad the weather was dry on the way home!! The Arthurs roadworks didn't cause me any probs tho cos I took it quietly. Stuck to the 30kph limit down Porters (lowered the idle speed a spot) but it would have been quite a challenge to get up to the 70kph limit on the roadworks/scree above the viaduct.

Time for a new tyre I suspect.

Glad you enjoyed it... I haven't been to woodstock, it usually right when I am starting work and have a backlog to catch up on...

and running low on $$$ due me galopping around the conutry... hopefully I might try to go next year... will have to wait and see...

BTW nice snap of the Fireworks... ooohhhh... ahhhhh... pretty...

[laRIKin]

Well I did have a good weekend as well.

Nice sleep under a tree until all in sundry came looking for me.

A good ride home the long way around with very little rain and traffic.
And a road in better condition than Arthurs Pass, we did warn you it was bad.

There was a lot of bikes going home the same way to miss that crappie road.

SDU did well on her longest and furthest ride in a day so far.
She was not happy to ride over two more railway bridges though.

And for me it has been a long time since I have been in that part of the country and seen more than a few old places that brought back some old memories from when I use to stay there, every school holidays.

See you all at the Vincent and I'm eating before Bourbon this time.

Hey guys,

What a special rally, ride up there on the back of IDB's bike was fab, it was just breathtaking to get on the west coast and see the hills wearing their overcoats of ferns and trees, they just go up and up, had a few beers in the Fox thursday and then headed on up to the rally site, the weather was good, but not as stinking hot as last year, man that was a great temperature then

Friday night was fab with the bank rocking and managed to catch some guys and girls I met at Nelson there, who come from Westport, thank you craig for rugby tacling me, but again like the straw bail fight in Glenorchy, I tackled him right back to the ground, did a few rolls around and got my foot on his chest in triumph. Am going to have to stop this behaviour at rallies or else people will thing I am not the that I really am.

Saturday was groovy, rumbling arond the coastline on the ducatti, its jst so fab being a pillion sometimes, my head was spinning around like an owl and then was a surprise to catch up with the Christchuch KBers at that pub in ? Reefton, guys a special bond grows around us everytime we meet, think your all great, having said that though the more beer that gets drunk, then the sillyness and talking totally bollocks start which is always great fun.

Mark, the rocking and rolling was great, now have grass stains on my favourite jeans which havent come out in the wash

The meal at the pub for the sensibles wedding anniversary was grand, and what mad me laugh till I was nearly on my knees, was the cute little kitten with no tail that was the friendliest cat ever introduced itself to our crowd, and nearly got kittynapped, so look out for those pictures when I have located my camera, currently have activated my locate trace through the debris which is in my away bag, looks a ittle like Beirut on a bad day.

Anyway, the cat piccys will follow shortly, and you can see for yourself what a frigging laugh that was, and the frames will be suitably named.

We had the mightyest of rain falls on the way back home, so had to overnight in Fox again, but needed the rest, jumping around, singing shouting at the bike rally until the point of exhaustion always occurs on the ride home, so to hang the boots up again for an impromptu rest, was absolutely fantastic

Footnote.......

Ha Ha Ha, by the way, after the Satuday, when Jen Ian and I found we were the only KBers up (bunch of lightweights.) when I hit the sack there were some dudes I have met at previous rallies, who were giggling like a coupld of girls, so we all started sining, Kenny Rogers theGamblers even in our sleeping bags, and got told to shut the fuck up, so I shouted back "Oye, you harley rider, you bloody set off at 4am and wake us all up, so have some back, or words similar, and by fuck that felt good.

What is it with these dudes, and why do they always have to part at the back of the sight and warm their bikes up for hours, engage in the loudest conversation between themselves before the tear arse out of the sight.

God it felt good to vent a bit of singing at the top of my voice for a few morebars of dear Kenny, Ha Ha Ha

So off for some now, and catchya guys at the Vincent, cant wait, there on Wednesday to set up with my fellow Bronzers and leave the following Monday, Blissfulllllllllllllllllll....

I missed the titty show...was told it was nothing to write home about, however, getting to see pussy on pussy action was somthin'

Fun fun fun, Would loved to make the Vinny but will miss till next year and go the Hare...
Bloody gud readin the write ups, I did not realise I had forgotton so much already!!!!

[T.W.R]

TWR I'm a bit scared of you now - too many photos

Be scared old man it's video capable too, so wait till I know my way around it better

Told ya I rode like a nana!

What an understatement! Glad they had improved heaps for those that took that route home.

who said you rode like a nana? you did well punting a bike over Arthur's that your still coming to grips with and especially considering the condition of the road too

Porter's pass was definately more fun heading up on the way over than the return, it's much better to tackling that crap under power than on a trailing throttle

Check below for the vid clip.

Notice Lemans pointing at the westland airforce that can be heard in the background
