Welcome to the Rusty Nuts

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

It is with much sadness that the Rusty Nuts M/c record the passing of a 22 year member Vince Rusty. Vince passed away 26 2 2010.

 Vince had been one of the longest serving members and was known to hundreds of riders who took part in events that started in Turangi. He was a resident of the Holiday Park.

Besides being a Rusty, Vince was well known and respected as a long serving members of the Search and Rescue in the Turanngi area. In his later years working the coordinators switch board for those in the field. He was in involved in many activites in the town and through these he was known to just about everyone who lives in the town and surrounding area.

He will be sorely missed by the thousands of people he came into contact with, Turangi, and the clubs and organisations was involved with all lost a great bloke. We are all a lot poorer for his passing, but richer for his time with us. RIP.

The Rusty's.

Vinces family are planning a celebration of his life at the camp in April, more details as the are announced, will be posted here.

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 21th of these has just be completed. 

We produced a DVD of the 20th Annivesary event to give an insight into the event.

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.
