If you choose you can stay on an extra few days in Invercargill for the iconic Burt Munro event. We have organized a venue that will allow riders to bunk down camping style. The venue has bedding and bathroom facilities. There must be a minimum of 30 riders committed for this to go ahead.
A bit about the event...Starting with the Bluff Hill Climb, tensions are high. The smell of the exhaust, the scream of the engines, the heat of the machines as they rush past. Spectators cheer riders on as they wrench and weave their way to the summit. Most make it. Later on that day, marvel at the sight of twilight drag racers streaking down the Teretonga Park straight at speeds in excess of 250kph.
Stepping on to Oreti Beach’s long emptiness, where Burt once opened the throttle, is a raw and awe inspiring experience. There’s something otherworldly watching dirt bikes tear up and down the mile-long circuit from your sand-dune grandstand possie, as oystercatchers split open tuatua shells on the low-tide mark.
And for some, it's the rally which is the highlight of their trip south. With live music Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, the Burt Munro Challenge is as much about people as it is about bikes!
You’ll never feel closer to a legend. The Burt Munro Challenge is calling you.
