Cliffhanger Hillclimb 15 & 16 March 2008 Aussies coming

[Dave Milligan]

Hi Guys,

If I bring any Duty Free it will be for me...and it will be Rum - fark orf!

Secondly, I'm not an Aussie. I'm a Kiwi (formerly of Chch) and I've been living in Melbourne for 11 years.

I co-own and run a business called Get Routed. The prime function of Get Routed is shipping Aussie owned bikes to NZ so they can tour NZ over the Summer months at a much cheaper rate than using a hire bike.
We ship out of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne and all shipments go into and out of Christchurch.

Wanna know more about what we do, go to www.getrouted.com.au - it's home made.

I first heard of the Cliffhanger Hillclimb in AMCN in November 2007 when Editor Mick Matheson ran a great story about the 2007 event. I was so impressed with the story I rang Mick and offered free shipping to NZ for any competing bike whose owner wanted to compete in the 2008 Cliffhanger event.

I have always been a big fan of hillclimbs and wanted to run one myself 20 years ago. I will be there as a spectator, but am too old, fat & slow to compete. That and the lack of talent has kept me from racing for 60 years....but I still like to ride and will be bringing a bike up from Chch for the event. Hoping to arrive on the Friday arvo.

So far I have 4 confirmed bikes and there's still time for more bookings.

My goal is to gain publicity for my business - we are planning a shipment of Kiwi bikes to Australia in September, 2008. The shipment will arrive in Brisbane on Monday 15 September, 2008 and be loaded in Melbourne for the return shipment on Tuesday 14 October, 2008.

The idea being that the Kiwi contingent (as individuals or in small groups) can tour the East Coast of Aussie for 4 weeks on their own bikes and take in the Aussie MotoGP at Phillip Island on 3 - 5 October.

If this all works out successfully I will put some serious dollars into sponsoring the 2009 Cliffhanger Hillclimb and hopefully then we will get a big contingent of Aussie competitors wanting to come over - free shipping will still be offered in 2009, but only to bikes which are competing in the event.

Hey, lissssen guys. It doesn't matter who wins (Aussie or Kiwi) as long as it's a successful event it WILL BE GOOD FOR MOTORCYCLING.

Now go and tell all your non-internet mates about it and see if we can attract the biggest crowd ever to the 2008 Cliffhanger Hillclimb.

Kind regards
Dave Milligan
