    You turn up pay $55 and you are at the rally, easy as that. See http://www.burtmunrochallenge.com/in...id=6&Itemid=21 that link for details.

    Its a great weekend, cant see anywhere if the toy run is on this year anyone local know?
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    For those going or returning via the East Coast, I recconmend the Trotters Gorge diversion - doesn't add much time, very scenic & heaps of sweet corners.

    Oh crap. Mate pre-booked a bunch of us on the ferries while I was overseas. Now I see the Ferry special $146 return for a bike & rider. We paid heaps more. Them the breaks.

    Question about motel availability.
    Some of our group have booked motels. Me, I want to leave my arrival and departure dates open. Take the roads that appeal to me on the way down, detour when and where I please,. Arrive when I feel like it...find a bed..buy a beer. The relaxed unorganised approach to bike trips.

    So what are the chances of finding a motel somewhere in the greater vincinity on the day! I don't do tents or cave living. Nothing flash, so long as it has full room service, in room bar and spa. Just the basics for life support.

    Hmm Who Know! surely you should be able to find something....but there is a hell of a lot of people down and they don't all stay at the site....you might just have to wing it and hope ya get lucky, if you don't want to book.

    Anyone got a car travelling from Christchurch to the rally that could take our tent for us?

    I know the story about taking everything with you on the bike but would like to try and lighten the load for the rest of the south island trip, we will fit to the bike for the trip back to Christchurch, or alternately a car from the Magpie heading to Invercargill would work.

    I can give you a loan of a 2 man tent if you like. I won't be using it that weekend.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    Wooohooo. Cant wait. Got my time off from Wednesday so the plan will be to head down the East coast to Queenstown on Wednesday. Thursday night will be spent in Te Anau (after ariving in Te Anau early on Thursday I'll head on down to Milford Sound). Then Friday will be a straight run down to Invercargill.

    Its gonna be awesome.

    Be the first time I've been home in a while...
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
