Well like I said I'd do I went up to Wanganui to see the legends of dirt and the "big three" former world champs there were Jeff Smith (76 years old), High Anderson (72) and Shayne King (only 37).
Anderson could still ride bloody quick on his Rickman Metisse and Smith was no slouch either. This was all on a nice easy flat track at the Wanganui Jockey Club racecourse.
Here's some photos for you - Motu and others that rode bikes from Pomgolia would love those bikes but there were also quite a few classic Jap and European bikes racing.
First up, on the way Levin was spotted under a cover of hot air balloons.
Then the bikes - starting with a parade of riders, then the racing - Hugh Anderson #73, Jeff Smith #56, Shayne King started on a Matchless #74.
The guy with the braces and peaked pudding basin looked a real period piece with his hardtail bike.
