Long-drop Rally - Duntroon - Dec1-3rd

[Ruralman]

I picked up a flyer for this rally at Dunedin bike shops today. I notice its not on the Chatto Creek website list of events - which is understandable given that it clashes with their 1000 miler!! (or were you trying to keep this one quiet Jantar?)
Is this a new one? Says it is organised by the Whitestone Motorcycle Touring Club.
Oldrider do you have anything to do with this one?
I'll post the details if anyone wants them.

The event is sponsored by Kawasaki - I rang the lady today to let her know that there wasn't any prices on the flyer - the kAWASAKI sponsor stuff had been put over the top of it before they printed!

Thats about it apart from the usual disclaimer stuff

Pity they weren't organised either side of the 1000 miler

I have never heard of this one before. I'll certainly add it to the Chatto Creek Programme.

Yep, I have been to a few but only on a day trip, have not camped over.

It is run by the North Otago clubs combined but under the Whitestone Motorcycle Touring Club control. (I think)

I have not been involved in the organisation of it myself but my late close friend used to be. I will find out at next months Ulysses club meeting.

There are so many events on these days it is hard to plan your way around them all, that's why I have asked about an annual listing for both islands.

I thought I had seen one on here but can't find it. Cheers John.

Hope to be up your way next weekend john so will call in for a brew if your going to be about.

This rally is pretty close time/place to the proposed KB Mt Cook rally, maybe KB could use it in lieu of the Mt Cook one for a get-together, thoughts?

Just contemplating a ride down to Oamaru tomorrow if all go's well, I will be calling in to your street so will say g'day. John

PS: will you be about or out riding?

Sounds like a reasonable option to me. John.

Want to watch my grandaughter play netball in the morning then go to Oamaru Honda then round to see how Danny got on at ten pin bowls, just after lunch.
Hope thats not too early, I was a shift worker for 28yrs, so I understand.
Hopefully I will see you tomorrow then. John.

Sounds like a fine idea to me.

Is anyone going to this?
I'm still trying to work out if I can go to either or both this and the KB run.

I'm really hanging out to get to a rally at the moment.
