[Subike]

only about oh 50 from Christchurch, and thats a conservative number indeed.
If you do a search you may find several thread with info on who and when
also Facebook had an event for this ,,,,,about 8 riding together on the Friday to a motel they have booked.

[paturoa]

I haven't been for a few years and have sufficient domestic credits to attend this year!

[Mr. Blonde]

I have read up on past theads, to get info on the gear to take & best time to get there Etc.
Im heading of fri - to spend the nite in Timaru, at a rellies place.
Then head off Sat morning ,so I dont have rush to the site.
Been looking foward to it.

[Flip]

I will be there.

[pete376403]

Departing Wgtn Wednesday morning, slow meandering trip down the west coast, Wanaka friday night. Sunday/monday back up the centre by as many back gravel roads as we can find.
#18 for me

[Flip]

I will make the offer.....

If you are coming through Oamaru and you would like a bed for the night, give me a call.

Your bike will have to share the garage with my Harley and Oamaru on fire is Friday night. I will be shooting the 25 pounder there.

[Erelyes]

Hoping to leave DDN for it.. perhaps staying in Naseby, depending on leave

[surveyorsteve]

Is there anyone heading down from Auckland or there abouts that wants to ride together? Thinking about leaving Thursday returning Tuesday. Might check our Oamaru on Fire Friday night as inlaws live there. Then up via west coast to Nelson. #5 for me

See you at the Ferry Peter. Think it's #5 or 6 for me, But haven't been to one since the Eighties.

Found this on Utube (1988 Rally) brought back a few memories of the gear and bikes used then.

Cheers for the video,awesome.I remember the welcoming sight of a 44 gallon drums complete with fire the last time i went many years ago,no sun just snow and rain.Great times though.Should go this year but like every other year of late

[Jantar]

I think I'll miss it this year, but maybe I'll do a ride to somewhere warmer, like the coro loop.

Yep but it was a good trip. Think my tent didn't even have a one piece floor in it back then.

[kiwi cowboy]

I will be there but wont be on the bike as will be serving you pissed cunts in the canteen probably so no cheek please.

Just a heads up if anyone has trouble at the site or there about's I have tools and may be able to help with witty suggestions as to what may be wrong while you fix it.
