Cold Kiwi 2007 hype thread

[Waylander]

Dont know where you guys got no BYO food from. The fires are provided so there's really no need to light them anywhere else. I'm guessing you two must be CK virgins.
Waylander, if it's too cold and there's too many rules for you, you could always go on the Girls Warm Kiwi at Awakeri Hotsprings instead.

Been on bigger rallies so this one wont bother me if I miss it.

Yeah, exactly...In the last 4 years, I'm still waiting for a really cold one...and I ain't talking about a beer.

I don't drink Bourbon or beer...It'd be interesting to know whether they think they might be allowed to do body search

Hmm... newbie question here: I get REALLY cold hands even in Taupo, so I'm expecting it will be worse at Waiuoru, any one have any suggestions on gloves that will keep them really warm? Is wool or thermal gloves better?

Have you got Hot grips fitted to your MC, if not, you are not doing yourself any favours.

Sorry, do mean gloves to wear at the rally, I wear themal type, cheap as chips at any outdoor store, beware ,they melt in excessive heat, as per open fire.

A good trick or two: Go to Kathmandu and you can get mini (palm size) gel pockets that when you bend them, there is a chemical reaction and they get very warm for about 2 hours...

Another one is to have a pair of possum gloves inside your normal gloves...not very efficient for when you're riding, but great while standing around the fire.

And let's not forget the heaven sent hot water bottle

Last but not least, get massively drunk on DB

Id like to go this year, but think im going to run out of time to get sorted.

So maybe next year.

Oy...who is going to take responsibility for that, anyway at $20 a doz oversweetened DB that may not be possible.

Doesn't appeal, huh? Oh well, we can always siphon off tree sap, and see if its any good?

Wasn't that what they gave as a commemorative bottle for the 30th Cold Kiwi??
Still haven't opened mine...I'm curious to see what will happen in 10 years and about 5 house moves...

Im sure its for sale there most years.

I even saw it for sale in the local New World earlier this year!!
I found it alot easier just to take a 1.75 of Beam!
Let just say my bag was much lighter on the way home

Can make anything high octane using super-yeast.

A couple of us have a tradition of a few(lots) Jamieson's Irish whiskeys at the Kiwi.. I bet they won't be selling that there.. so as usual we'll take our own..guess there's gonna be a long queue as every bag/pannier/trailer is searched..yeah right!!!
