The 2007 was my first rally ever and really enjoyed it. Including meeting some rather interesting KB people.

Just hope my first attendance at the Pissed Penguin in a few days does not spell the end of it

Dont be decieved people... there is a little politics here, I know through my sorces that the crowd running the Glen rally would only do it if they make money, and believe me they make lots of it.
The beer dosnt have to be as dear as it is, they just dont stand to make a lot of money anymore.

I'd go along with that. If they hadn't of got too greedy a few years then they would have turned so many off from returning in the following years.

yes... yes... yes... and yes... and I finally got her to ride her own ride

That's good to hear and to hear Xaria is riding.

And that's is what I was saying.
I went up to buy a dozen bourbon and coke cans and I think it was $5-6 a can (I can remember that it was over $50) and that was on their first or one of their first rallies and that was when every one else was changing about $2 a can, 8 years ago.
And that is why I would never go back or would my friends.

Overheads for these sort of events shouldnt be all that high, you need...
a mate with a field ($0)
a big tent (say $1000)
Booze (if you buy em bulk there about $1 per can... sell em for $2 and it pays for the entertainment)
porta-potties (no idea, but id say $1000 ish for a weekend)

so thats $2000, if your selling tickets at $25 its 80 people to break even...

im sure there are some costs there that im missing, but at the end of the day, people go where other people want to go... and there are a whole lot of KB'ers around.

That's why I never got drunk - even WITH my own tequila.

(And I bought some takeaways at the Glenorchy jar-shop too)

yeah you're right...

...we'd have to do that as your bike probably wouldn't make it all the way to Kaikoura

You forgot to go back to your post and edit out the hurtful bit.........!!!!

[idb]

At least I won't have some hoon on a red bike, don't remember the make and model sorry, come roaring past me and then stopping in front me every five minutes...

I think I spotted that tall mysterious stranger too.
Handsome devil as I recall.

For all sorts of reasons I'm not sure....but I really hope so.
I'll know better on Friday.

I'm in a shitty mood for the whole weekend if I miss out on a rally.
