Was wondering about it, but I've already gone back to road tyres, so rather than do sealed rides, it might be more fun to do the others, but then again, if it's all public access stuff I could do it any time… hmmm
The Hot Rodders are coming to town as well so Ya better book Darryl unless Ya tenting.Got a Tourist flat/cabin at the camping ground .motels are up around the $150 p/n range.
Hi Richard and BrucieHave just booked into camp ground 5 of us .Brucie I don't own another brand, but I do have 3 x BMW GS so will still have to decide which one to ride I will also be riding with some non BMWs a vstrom,dr650 and a yamaha virago .
so intrepid OR members and GS enthusiasts, is anyone else keen to do this event?I'm planning on doing it - gravel and mild adventure elements - at least that's my intent as I don't plan on dropping my R1200GS too many timesBe great to have the company of some like minded GS enthusiasts within the RegisterI plan on tenting or back packing in Raglan - keen to share accommodationCheers Oaters aka Aslan
Can a mod merge with: http://bmwor.org.nz/forum/index.php?topic=3446.0Gotta see how my time goes, weekends have been super busy the whole year so far, and have to be in New Plymouth first weekend April now, so don't know if I can spare more weekends...
my bad – I didn't realise folks were commenting here already – Darryl / Gremlin I expect I'll be tenting unless someone else is willing to share a unit at the BackPackers – cheers
