Quite possibly!

Had a fab time in wanaka and the rally catching up with folks, especially scummy, chrissiebimbo, idb, far queue, and a few other non kbers... Amazing the people you meet at these rallys so far from home!

And ofcourse no show 98tls one day you better make it a rally we make it to yahear!!


Working on getting a babysitter for march hare, fingers crossed! Be nice to get there, been a few years since i have made it thanks to chief and victorious

Vicky and i are definately going to the March so be good to catch up with the pair of ya (yep even the gobby one).Truth is the destination really was meant to be the rally but not having ridden much of late and enjoying it i simply thought bugger it and carried on.This time i did phone home and let her know what my intentions were.

wasn't far off the mark the destination started with a W

Oi gobby,arrived in Alex at around 4.15 had a feed and pint then thought fuck the rally and headed off and ended up staying the night in Winton.Really enjoyed myself.As for "slime riding poof" jesus mate coming from a ginga on a Guzzi thats kinda rough.

have to start calling you tumble weed....once moving liable to end up anywhere

Shouldn't laugh really as the last couple of rallies I've got to haven't always gone to plan, havin to deal with company that couldn't handle their turps
Still the Hare a few years ago was probably the most memorable...your dispatch of Dale into his tent classic!

Got a photo of him a few hours prior & he was already looking tainted got one of you too where gravity meant lying down was the safest option by the time the tent event happened I was beyond operating fangled electric gizmos...... though we were in fine voice to acknowledge the greetings we received at camp KB

Did a few miles at least,enjoyed it.Got lucky and managed to do it with no grief from the law so all good,to be honest thats why i dont bother to much anymore and why would ya with the ridiculous speed limit and the enforcement of it.I can quite happily sit in the ute a tad shy of 140 clicks and if i get unlucky then so be it but fucked if i want to spend to much time on the bike at anywhere near 100 clicks an hour its fucking ridiculous not to mention uncomfortable.I realise there just doing there job so no problem with the coppers.Someone needs to take those that make the rules for a ride methinks.

lol but you're more liable to get picked on on your lonesome on bike rather than in a group going somewhere giving the limit a nudge in a group, plod can't get everyone

All a blur to me.Mate you will love this...was talking to the old man during the week and he told me of just recently when a mate of his from up Blenheim that already owns a Vincent turned up at his place and got out of his station-wagon with a sheepish look on his face,realising something was up the old man said "righto cunt whatcha got" and the bloke lifts the back door on the wagon to reveal a Vincent minus forks and a few other bits that he had bought off a 73 year old bloke that had had it for years but never got to putting it back together,he paid $20,000 for it as is,forks are not a problem apparently as the blokes pretty clever and when asked replied "i will just make some".20k for fucks sake

That was fun. 5 days, 1885km, and 21 hours in the saddle. Love the Vincent Rally. Always great weather, and great riding to be had there, back, and around the area.
Wednesday - rode over Arthurs to Greymouth for the the night, and a few drinks. Wet from home to Arthurs and then dry and warm. About 240km.
Thursday - Greymouth to Cromwell for the night, and a few drinks. Perfect day for a ride down the coast - calm and blue all the way, and not much traffic. About 495km.
Friday - Cromwell to the rally for an early camp setup and then off for a ride. Alex, Beaumont, Lunch at Lawrence, on to Milton, Outram, Middlemarch, Ranfurly, and on to the site, and a few drinks. Another mint day for a ride. About 440km.
Saturday - Queenstown for lunch and return ... oh, and a few drinks. Yet another mint day for a ride. About 200km.
Sun - Home up through the middle. Wet off and on from around Fairlie to Rakaia Gorge. About 500km. No drinks today - I need to dry out!

hopefully it doesnt clash with hororata next year - they had a bigger turn out this year even tho the vincent was on the same weekend

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to T.W.R again.
damnit...
but yup totally agree, group riding of 3-4 is always pretty good for not getting stopped
