Hi All, am dead keen to attend the Cold Kiwi Rally 5-7 Sep 08. I'll be leaving Shell Westgate at 0900 Fri 5 Sep sharp, will breeze by the Autobahn approx 0930-0945 to meet other interested parties, then head down via hamilton, kihikihi, rotongata, mangakino, then round the mountains to Ohakune & then the Kiwi site for 2 days of motorcycle mayhem.

Should get a good camp site if we go friday, all interested turn up on the day

BRING WARM STUFF.

Id be more worried about getting caught in a storm and not being able to get out lol...

Id love to stick some nobblies on the dr and take that, but 3-400kms on it would be murder.

damn mile munching dr650's...

just a quick question guys, does the cold kiwi include any dirt roads?

**gunnyrob** · 11th July 2008, 20:18

No Gravel Roads. The cold kiwi is a "rally" in the sense that the ride is the ride there, then 2 days of having a big party near Waiouru talking bikes & drinking beer. There are competitions such as hill climbs & burn outs, but no actual car rally like stages or touring around. Check out the web site.

Cheeky went down. Too much beer, not enough water. Got dehydrated and ended up in ambulance. LMAO
