Hi. Welcome to the Rusty site. We will be updating often as we are a very actice group. All our events are open to all riders - we welcome new and young riders.

Our events are not easy but the large numbers of riders who return year after year show they are worthwhile. We would love to see you on a ride soon.

Thanks for dropping by. RideSafe.

The Rusty's

The Rusty Nuts Motorcycle Club bring you some of the best known events in the New Zealand motorcycle calandar.

We run "The Grand Challenge" a 1000 mile (1609km) 24 hour event every October. The 20th of these was held in 2006.

Also the "Southern Cross Road Rally" - a six or seven day event travelling to the four extremities of New Zealand accessable by road.

We also organise other tour type events, the common thread through all the events is the "challenging" aspect. They all provide something more difficult than other rallies, either the distance, the accessability, or the time factors allowed.

From time to time we also do "Specials" such as the "Wild One Rally", a one off event held at the Bridge to Nowhere before the "Non-existent road" was closed and the area was absorbed into the Whanganui National Park in 1992.
