    yeah it was a bit of chaos at the gate - we almost got in for free. filled out the form and got told to move forward - sat there for a while with my girlfried on the back waving the money around. was almost about to give up when one of the crew finally come up and asked if we had paid yet.....

    was the first rally i had been to where you couldnt drink your own alcohol (unless you stayed over the bridge by the bikes) but i guess that what happens when you have a pub running the rally insead of a club

    weather was a bit strange hot as on saturday then woke up to rain in the morning. heard it pissed down on the friday as well

    No wonder you are 'tired' GB, that bottle in the first pic in the second lot looks big enough to tip anybody up let alone you.

    Good write Q

    lols I see the Ed & Mary (publicans of the Horo pub) are still good at organising nothing lols had to put up with them for a few years at Chertsey

    Agree with MyGSXF about the name of the rally & the original site Hororata HogOut & The paddocks that back onto the pub site were the originals 93 & 94. A mate won a Leather Jacket at the 94 rally for best European bike in show

    i was told that harley inc made the hog club change the name from hororata hogout to the hororata bikefest because they own the "hog" name

    I'm not saying that you are wrong and you could be 100% right.

    But I was told they changed the name to get more bikes there.

    As because it was called a HOG Rally, most non HD riders thought that they could not attend as it was a Hog only Rally.
    Could of been just spin, but that was what I was told by someone that was one of the organisers at the time of the name change.
    Feel the fear and do it anyway

    Don't confuse education with intelligence.
    There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.
