2023 Kickstart Motorbike Rally

Our inaugural Kickstart Rally is done and dusted. It was held on Saturday 21st January 2023. The rally had 36 entries with 35 participants on the day. The oldest bike being a 1924 Harley Davidson from Oamaru. The furthest travelled was an entrant from Kaikoura and he rode his Triumph Trident bike down to Waimate. The rally started with a get together, registration and morning tea at the club rooms. The first ride got underway around 10.30am with the long ride - a 100km ride through to Otaio via Hunter then off the main highway to Old Ferry Rd then on back roads to the Waihao Forks Hotel for lunch.

After lunch it was the short run of 60 kms ride to the club rooms for afternoon tea and certificate presentation. The king of the rally was Russell Dale from Timaru with his 1927 Indian and the Forks Hotel publicans choice award went to Bruce Watt from Oamaru on his 1952 Mac Vello.

The rally was well received with lots of great feedback about both rides and lunch.

Looking forward to next year, on Saturday, 20th January 2024.

Cheers
