NZ BSA Rally '24

[mikeb]

a few pics below from March as it took a while to get them off the camera (phone?).
6 of use made the whole trip from auckland to waimate via the west coast and 3 came back over the rainbow pass (inc river crossings). i rode over 2300 miles on the a10 plus riding the actual ralley on the GB400 in the pic that i borrowed off my son. my b33 was a backup bike that someone else made good use of. both my BSA's performed (almost) faultlessly - very pleased

Impressive mileage Mike, how long did it take you?

Worty it took the rest of our group 10 days to do 400 miles less than that total (ie 1700 miles plus the rally) whereas I extended the trip by looping back to christchurch to see my kids and do some hiking in the Arthurs pass region - so a total of 16 days. one of the many highlights was the rally day on the small honda which is a recently recommissioned 'shed find' - surprisingly fun.
by the time i got home could attest to BSA meaning bl**dy sore a*se.

Brilliant, I take it you were camping??

It's a good acronym for our bikes, usually anything over 130m leaves me with no feeling from the waist down   Recently, I acquired an Alpinestar biker jacket from my brother-in-law.  It was full of rubber protective things and foam rubber with holes in it.  Whipped all of those out and put the back protector foamy thing down my jeans - no soreness after 220m
