It is a nice place and I was thinking of staying a few days. But at the moment just a day trip.

Doesnt sound like the weather will be to good. But will have to take the chance I dont get to wet on the way up to Nelson.

Great racing. Guy on a Harley Softail was killing it out there. Did not come in last! Outran a couple Ducatis! Must have a monster motor, nobody passed him on a straight.

After 3 races the poor bike DNF'ed.

...that is Darren Heeman and that Softail or bits of it have been raced on most street circuits around the country for years and on quarter mile speedway tracks...bit of an eye opener to a lot of people...

Classic bike show in Stoke was nice. Someone had a sweet looking original BSA for sale. Late 60s twin Carb. Only $7K.
