Well, well, sly old dog you Ed, nice work and hard work to boot, always looks good from the outside but you are up for some serious coin, TK, do/did have a rep for not coming up with the goods.
Otherwise, Way to go and good luck, I mean that, if it works your company will do well and bikers will enjoy a bloody good event.
Pleased for you mate.
Every day above ground is a good day!:
ThThanks mate! In talking to Duncan it sounds like he has the right people to organise it. As the newbie I will be getting all the advice and help I can in order to do it justice. Between him and me anyway, we know and agree on many of the names we want involved. I know the other members have a lot of experience in getting it done, so I will be interested in meeting them shortly.

The Event
The Shorai Batteries International Motorcycle Classic is NZ's biggest race meeting and it's blowing up...in a good way. It's getting bigger.
Nearly 300 riders will launch themselves down the
track at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park at Labour Weekend.
And this year it's spreading its wings and morphing into an international event.
Formerly called the Barry Sheene Classic, it's now the Shorai Batteries International with riders coming from around the globe to compete.
The International is the feature race each day with the 10 fastest riders
from NZ, Australia, UK and the Rest of the World forming up to do
battle.
The 40 riders will be decked out in their country colours and national pride
will be on the line as they race their raw, high-octane machines at speeds of
more than 250 km/ph.
No traction control, anti-wheelie, launch control or other electronic trickery.
These machines are the muscle cars of the bike world.
Full grids is the mantra with race classes for pre-war bikes right through
to 1989.
This year we not only have the classic sidecars racing but also the first
round of the NZ National Championship for modern sidecars.
Isle of Man TT kiwis will be back to chase the title at Hampton Downs.
It sounds like thunder and it's modern Bears (British, European, American) racing bikes coming to the event for the first time. Ducati Panagales, RSV4 Aprilias, BMW S1000s, Triumph Daytonas, Buells.
The Oceania Challenge, an annual points race between Australia and NZ, will
be incorporated as usual in the meeting. The ozzies won it for the first
time last year. The kiwis are out for revenge.
Legends Graeme Crosby and Robbie Phillis will be on stage Sunday night
in the dinner/entertainment feature. The Great Debate is the feature with
a team of flightless kiwis taking on some bouncy ozzies to prove which country
is the quickest.
Harley Davidson's coming to play at the Shorai International. Bruce Anstey and
Robert Holden were just two of the great kiwi riders to compete on Harley's.
We will be featuring Harley dragbikes, hotrods and some eccentric builds in
the pavilion. There will also be a track ride at lunchtime for those lucky enough to own a Harley and this will be a chance to clear the carbon without a copper up your butt.

Extremely happy for you Ed.
