    I'm going to the VCR as well, so be great to catch up Sels. I'm the same as Shrek I can't do both

    I think I am much the same, am going to do one,and though I enjoyed this one last year. The woodstock will win this year.
    The Vincent is a good biggish rally.

    Are you not over the trauma of last years experience yet?
    The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?

    That be great if you can come along. I traveled last year with Sels1 to the Woodstock from Murchison. The next day up to Denniston, what a magic ride that was. Be good to see you both there.

    Sure was. And then you went and brought a Tiger....
    Look forward to catching up again. Hopefully can get everything organised in time work wise - might even try to get a few extra days to take the long way home....

    Sounds like a good route but we will probably take a rain check on that - my riding partner is on a road bike and theres prolly too much gravel on that route. Besides we want to experience some of the main roads first - Burkes, Lindis etc - every time I drive those roads (in a work vehicle) I have been hanging out for the time when I can get the bike down there.

    S'all Good!!

    We will most likely go to the VCR via middlemarch and Ranfurly will see if we can get the same spot as last year...

    I will go to the Vincent via 2010!!! damn it, I know there is no doubt this is/was a good rally, last year was a hoot... sorta.
    Looking forward to seeing the pictures and hearing the stories of 2009.

    Bring on the Woodstock though.
