    Question Slow Race, Weaner Grab, Hill climb

    Im hosting part of a 40th Birthday bash for the owner of Harley Tours New Zealand next weekend and Im going to let his harley mates loose on my dirtbikes for an hour or two. I need some bike based humour for these guys

    he wants some element of competition to the whole weekend - but I dont know much about the 'rally scene' What other skill events can you guys think of?
    Retired- just some guy with a few bikes......

    Fill em up on booze, and they'll make their own fun on your bikes.
    ie, chicken, how many times will the trail bike back flip, how far can you ride it into the river, donuts, which one burns the fastest.
    Those crazy boys.

    Stadium Trials.

    Make with the hay bales and logs and let 'em loose.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    THAT is a good idea! Harley riders have never climbed over old car bodies or cable drums!- But I think Ill tone it down and make it an 'Obsticle course'

    Heres an idea, but you will need to set up for it a bit, so dunno if you have time ;

    A line of balls like soccer balls perched on pedestals (about the height of the middle of a car door) about 4 meters apart and the idea is to ride along at speed and boot as many of them as far as possible.

    Next, a similar thing, but a line of something to hit the the underside about the boot, (about cage mirror height), and the idea is to kick forward as many as they can in a row.

    Speeds must be kept up so a minimum time should be employed.

    The twist is, the "exercise" teaches valuable real-world skills.

    "Wow, Great advise there DB."

    Most of these guys are bikers so they will love it! Thanks Steve - I will wire a series of old car doors to the fence and they can ride down the row kickin mirrors off

    Haha, yeah bro that will be classic. This would be a good thing to be able to set up easily, as it could be taken anywhere and laid out and "competitions" run with it.

    Youtube it.
