Welcome to CDMTCI

[Busted]

Central District Motorcycle Touring Club aka CDMTCI aka CD's

CD's was formed in 1982 by a group of riders with a common interest in road touring, to this day that remains the common focus of the club and its members. We became an incorported society in 2003 and currently have over 40 members. The club is based in Palmerston North with the majority of members in the Manawatu and Horewhenua. We also have members as far away as Christchurch and Hastings.

The club keeps members up to date of coming events with monthly meetings and a monthly newsletter 'The Motorcyclist'.

Regular club rides are held, including economy runs, midnight and mystery rides, breakfast and cafe rides, along with other rides with no purpose other than that of riding a motorcycle. Club members also attend rallies and events throughout the year and all over the country. Part of our regular calender of events includes an Annual Toy Run and a Public Open Day at Manfeild.

Also being a touring club we are known to disapear for days on end and pop up in obscure parts of the country side for no apparent reason.

Monthly meetings are held on the first Monday of the month at the Awapuni Tavern, and rides depart from BP Metro.

I will use this forum to keep you up to date of our events and rides. Our rides are always open to any and all motorcyclists. Feel free to attend any rides I list here or to come along to our monthly meeting.

Cheers

Hi Busted. Your January fun days are always popular with our Wellington lads and ladesses.

Hey Lynda. The open days are proving popular with people all over the country, but yes have always been well supported from welly.

Its just a pity we lost our annual date of 2 January to a "Scout Jamboree"! So were having it on Jan 15 this year.

I just sent all the flyers off to the welly shops today.

Just a note to let people know that the club has a new venue for our club nights - the front bar at the Forest Elbow, Featherston Street, Palmerston North (opposite PN Boys High School). Start time 7.30pm.

AGM was earlier this month - club president is now Andrew Pugh, which allows Busted to have a life now!

We also have our own website now, so check it out - http://www.cdmtc.org.nz/

As an aside that night is also Palmy speedways driver sign up night as well at 7.30pm.

Sign up night for drivers? Doubt it would have affected our riders then! By all accounts we had the typical turn out - or was this being held at the same venue - I heard there was another meeting there but wasn't there that night.

Cheers for the heads up, it worked out fine being a one off you kind of make exceptions and our good man Gravel made sure that we were sorted and interupption was kept to a minimum,

There is one this monday , be good to see you (Mowgli) and the better half if you can get kids sorted. As always lots of fun stuff waiting in the wings.

We went to Wimbeldon and played tennis on the 20th, not easy to be a ball girl in leathers thats for sure Jed bought his spare balls and left them for the kids to play with and Richard and Sharon provided some interesting racquets.

Couldn't get the tough adventure rider to break out a sweat and the president decided to wait for us at the pub (he had the right idea).

Met a couple of Harley riders about to go off road in Electra glides,brave and obviously slightly made men.

It was good to see that we are turning the Motorcycle and Touring club into a Motorcycle and Triumph club

I was apparently voted as a Williams lookalike, maybe a 'soundalike' when I get the rest of the group in one room but thats a story best saved for the meeting.
