I was the one that handed you some keys I found, lost by a BMer rider that was sitting beside me, videoing you, was that 'xgnr', small world undercover.

What a crap time I had,I really enjoyed the ride down although the 'Bacon' was rather prolific must have passed at least six of them including a camera and that was on the way there.
Friday nite really screwed it up for me as I drank like there was no tomorrow, boy did I pay for it thereafter! (makes a mental not to himself:next year remember ther'e two nites to contend with!)
Anyway I drank most of Saturday and hit the sack early, missed most of the activities that nite, but woke up with a very clear head.

The ride back was boring as we took Desert road and from Tirau we cut off across to Ngatea, where we stopped off for a beer with a mate of mine, from there we went to Kaiaua for fish n chips and ended it off with a good blast through the twistys back home.

P.S. I did bump into Tide and 007XX at the burnouts.

Till next year!

Had a great time at my first ColdKiwi.
Interesting to see how quickly you can fall off a Harley in the mud, certainly made some of those tuff guys slow down when riding the steel horse through the village.
I was just wrapped that I got my little bike all the way to the road without any slipages on Sunday, that drive got pretty muddy.

I had a go at doing my first burnout ever in the burnout competition. The owner of last years RAT bike competition (GSX750) asked if I'd like to have a go at burning out a tyre, so thought why not.
He was trying to beat the bikes record from last year by burning out 14 tyres.
What a buzz highly recommend having a go at burning out a tyre, esp on someone elses bike.
Was surprised to see the Harley that was first up won the competition He only had it in 1st gear, but I guess it did take the longest to pop at 2mins and those pipes where red hot. Some of the others got their bikes nearly over 14,000 revs and through the gears.

I was the only girl to enter the burnout competition this year and it has given me burnout fever. Now going to look at maybe building my own RAT bike to take to next years ColdKiwi and pop somemore tyres

PS: If any of you out there have got any pics of the burnout comp would love to see them.

ah so that was you. The bloke on the CBR250 (think his name was chris) who came second i think and did the hill climb as well, he got his into top gear, off the spedo and of the rev counter (redline is at 19k)

Gah! How can you torture bikes like that?

I got the security to drag one guy into a tent, outside which he was comatose, about 2:00am Sat morn, a guy went off the road coming down the Gentil Annie hill on Napier Taihape Rd, went off the road, gassed it on the grass, lost it on regripping the tarseal, another behind him had to lay his MC down to avoid him, 2 bikes down. Two guys giving a verbal exchange in the wee hours of Sat morning, then a sharp crack noise, (wonder what?) then blissful silence the rest of the night, so you didn't do too bad after all.

Awesome Weekend. Ours was mega.

With the rally on friday/saturday and a trackday on sunday it was always going to be a mission and a half.

Pic 1: The cold kiwi in a netshell: Drink some piss, dig a trench. Take a slash.
Pic 2:The RVF at the track.
Pic 3: The ZXR at the track.

Cheers for everyone who was there.

Did anyone get a pic of our $30-warehouse-gezebo-tent-thing?
