Mike,

Thought that looked like your bike at the service station at Palmerston but the guy standing by it did not look like you, couldn't see you about so rode on through Trotters Gorge to visit Danny.

Couldn't see any sign of life at your place then so rode on home.

John.

Home tonight after four awesome days of riding heaps of gravel & fantastic roads, all in great company.
Highlights were the Myers & Dansey's Passes, the Old Dunstan Trail, Ruralman's & the Princess's hospitality @ Lawerence and of course the PP Rally itself.
Late yesterday I found a neat "dry weather only" track in the hills near Gimmerburn & took some pics of a couple of old abandoned farm buildings, well hidden from general view.
I extended my trip to today, to include "work" calls @ Omakau, Alexandra, Cromwell, Tarras, Otamatata (incl coffee with Mr & Mrs Oldrider), Kurow & Waimate.
Will try to load some pics but the quality is dissapointing (I'll blame the camera).

Dansey Pass Pub where we met up with Jantar & Oldrider in the rain.

Timg on his Trannie & Jantar on his VStrom in the Dunstan Trail.
Prior to this point it was very slippery & Jantar showed great skills to keep the big bike upright, especially considering his tyres are quite 'mild'.
It's a desolate place & a long walk out if things go wrong. However can't wait to go back, in the other direction when it's actually 'officially open' & hopefully a bit dryer.

Shrek's fixation with food - even a pile of magpies on the southern side of the Dunstan trail weren't safe.
The 2nd pic just seems appropiate........

**XF650** · 17th September 2007, 23:45

Next morning Ruralman led the adventure bikes the "long way round" via some great gravel from Lawerence to the PP.

Some Maniototo pics, on my way home from the Pissed Penguin:
1) looking back from Gimmerburn accross the Maniototo Plain to Dansey's Pass in those far hills
2) Derelict cottage on exposed ridge, now home to an old ewe that missed the muster. The gateway strainer posts will last forever.
3) These abandoned stables still have tack gear & harnesses for draught horses etc, hanging in the stalls.

I think it was Scumdog who directed me here, thank you. In the article I have written I have put this: "A bikers’ website had very favourable comments about the Penguin Rally. One said, “Kaka Point continues to be a very favourite place of mine in NZ, the coast to greet my weary eyes this morning was stunning, once I was able to focus.!! All in all, a fab fun time was had, the contained lit area with the fires are always a great way to keep everyone sociable. So thanks to the organisers, a wonderful job was done, guys and girls.” Even more enthusiastically another said, “Awesome weather, Awesome Southern hospitality Awesome people, Awesome ride ... yeah my weekend was OK Best weekend I've had in ages, I look forward to a repeat next year."

I will send this soon, but if the people writing those comments object, please let me know before tomorrow (Wed) lunchtime and I will get it taken out.

Cheers and thanks muchly, Caro.
