Cold Kiwi 2007 hype thread

[Holy Roller]

My understanding of the accident last year was mechanical failure of the steering of the trike. Alcohol played its part in that a decission was made to head off home in the early hours of the morning. Would the outcome have been different if alcohol was not a factor?

Those around where I camp usually get on the turps Friday night and use the rest of the time to recover before heading off homeAfter what some would have called "having a great time".

Currently considering this one again...(would be my first North Island rally) will sort my mind out in the next few weeks...

I went with a mate 9 years ago..he said it was fun so I thought "what the hey" .. now been to every one since, took my girlfriend 4 years ago..now she's my wife and she's riding her own VTR250 this year.. look forward to 'the Kiwi' every year.. hope you decide to come..

Got my ticket in the mail last week so I'm commited. I'm going with an open mind regarding the no BYO. Dont make a fuss about it and we should be ok.

One week to go!

My ticket's safely in my wallet and the bike is undergoing a few mods to improve its load-carrying ability.

Enjoyed the CK last year, intend to do so again and catch up with a few more KBers

[NUTBAR]

Does the kb crew all camp together?
if so where?

Fot the last few years a bunch of us have set up camp down the "road" on the right , first or second campsite on the left, not too close to the portaloos

Excellent directions, all male's will understand . Probably loose Goblin with instructions that simple. Women need the GPS coords. And don't forget the weather forecast, so they know what to wear.

FYI: Goblin managed to find us last year at that location. She didn't want to camp near us, tho', can't think why...


And on a Cold Kiwi related note: big ups to Roj who fashioned up a couple of bits of metal into pannier supports for my bike to keep the pannier bags off the hot exhaust.

I've got to put some rubber beading around the edge to protect the pannier straps and get some bungee cords to secure them but the worked fine when I tested them on the way back from his place this afternoon.

It was Roj who modified up an old tail rack so it'd fit on my bike, too, so my bike's now fitted out to carry my gear to the Cold Kiwi properly (rather than a pack bungeed to the seat and rear fender like last year).

Looks really good.

What you talkin 'bout Willis? Calling me loose!

There's a good reason I didn't camp there and it wasn't you guys. Was too close to the Sulphur City tent and Todd/Stan likes to do some late night plowing on his tractor. I need all the beauty sleep I can get.

Anyone from New Plymouth way going to this? Ill be heading down to Wanganui & up the Parapara's (woot, haven't been on them in ages). Keen to hook up with some southern North Island riders if possible?

Drop me a PM with ya number and or details



ps: who gives a toss bout the BYO restrictions, were bikers, were meant to break the rules aren't we

[Roj]

My good lady was going to be a pillion with me this year but has decided to take her car instead.

edit:

We now have a passenger

cheeky, but not entirely untrue...for most of us. Although I'm sure we biker chicks are mostly exceptions to that rule...

Gawd, it feels like I'm going to be spending my weekend ferreting out all the Kbers...
Trying to think of some really obvious item of clothing i could wear so you all know who I am and come introduce yourselves!

*and no, I will not go half starkers...*

Sweetness, when one is a Cold Kiwi virgin such as yourself, one should be very careful about being cheeky!

You never know what can happen there! retribution can be a bitch...
