Ive been to two and ummm kinda missed the last one as I was in bed by 10pm.....no one told me bout the chocolate cake! Im thinking about going to this one too but I will be traveling from Auckland. I have a place and bike security in CHCH but I dunno how to tie down on the ferry and.............would like some company. Is anyone going down for this?

ANSWER = ID RATHER BE RIDING!------------------------------------------------------
This is always a GREAT rally! I've been going since 1994, and I've never been disappointed. Anyone who's never been? Rattle yer dags and get on down there this time! We just sent off the pre-rego this morning, so we'll be there with the usual bells on! Look out for the crazy, long-backed Canty-coloured jester's hat (with the bells on, no less) and come and say Hi. For those of you who saw it while it was actually vertical at the Burt Munro, that was me under there!
We're in Nelson, and will be happy to hook in with ya and ride down to Waimate, if you're still by yourself, or even if not and you still fancy joining in with someone else. You can either come thru to Nelli and we can go in thru Springs and on down thru Culverden, or we can meet you in Picton and drop down the SH1. Might want to consider hauling in at Christchurch for the night, as its a bit of a mission from Piccy to Waimate in one hit. Do-able, certainly, but you'll be knackered when you get there. We came back in one swoop last year and after the first seven hours, with a monsta raving hangover, it was starting to feel like a looonnnggg day! I lost a battery cover on the stretch of road from Murchison to Brightwater, and was too tired by then to even notice.
As for tying down on the ferry, buy a set of tie-down strops from the Warehouse or Super Cheap Auto and the guys on the boat will help you secure the machine.
Put me on the list as one who is going....after meeting some of the rabble at the staging post I think it is only fair to catch up again...
...Anyone up for more country music???
Hope the "Stingy Ninja" is all legit by then...

Well this will be my first, every year my father says how good it is, so this year I am joining him. I'm flying from Brisbane to dunedin to meet with my father especially for it!
Can't wait and if it is half as good as you all rave, then it should be awesome.
Are there any good day trips or such organised for the Saturday, and what is the best route back to Dunedin on the Sunday?
Hope to see some of you there!
There is a group going up on Friday evening and probably more on saturday if your want to join the group and ride up
There isn't an organised ride organised ride as such, but there are usually smaller groups that go out for rides at various stages... as well as the organised events... and the normal blobbing out, drinking and talking shyte to each other
There will be probably a group of heading back to Dunedin on Sunday... depends what you call the best and or how much time you have.

Nooooooo, in all likelihood this is a going be a no-goer for me this year, bugger bugger, bugger.![]()
