Is anyone here going to this show in Auckland on 13/14 August?
I found accommodation in Howick so will be moving from Aus 1st Auhust.
Won't be bringing any of my bikes from Aus so looking for maybe a beach cruiser/scrambler style bike for laps around the place.
Would love to meet up with anyone there.

NZ Motorcycle Show?
Another case of Auckland arrogance. It's the Auckland Motorcycle Show.
Auckland doesn't own the country.

To be fair, Invercargill has the crown as the motorcycle place just now. Bill Richardsons Transport Museum and the Burt Munro nail it for me.

Went to bike show today, mix of Classic, Custom, Trade stands,club Stands, Wheel Stands and Motorcycle distributors.
Looking at the bikes parked up you would think Harleys are the most common/popular bike.
Probably the most variety of new bikes I've ever seen, three American bike companies, some cool Enfields,Ducati, Triumphs, BMW's Guzzi, and
the Big 4 from Japan.

Why would you run this in the middle of winter?
Does Auckland have a winter?

Because the bike sales are slow at this time of year and the trade wants a boost. Way I see it if I want to look at bikes I can go to bike shops for free.
And no we dont, I travelled to National Park to have my 2 days of winter this year.

Was out last Monday night and the car temp gauge said it was 4 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guy at work regaled us with how he had 'white stuff' on his windscreen one morning.
Well worth $20 as I no longer can be arsed going to bike shops as the traffic is so bad, anyway only have eyes for the Thruxton R at the moment....R9T a distant second.... Ducati
Scramber could be fun to commute on.
Traditional mystery meat batterer sausage on stick with chips is also a show thing, they are in a food time warp there :lol: ( other than charging $4 for a small drink)

Photos are pretty badass - uploaded them to my laptop but can't figure out how to resize them. KB tells me the file uploads that I tried failed, so I can only assume they need resizing. Gonna try and work this out as the goal is to put them in an album for viewing pleasure.

Its not generally so much the physical image size, as opposed to the file size of the image in MB
Try a lower quality resolution. I can't recall of the top of my head, but the kb image size limit is about 2.3MB
Or you could just upload them to say photobucket. Then link them.
For what its worth MY2c based on 10,000 odd images posted on KB.

I thought they might be selling these along with the " KB's Not Dying" T shirts.

Nah it will work out, KB will bounce back.

Although its a weighty issue, KB just needs a cleanout to get rid of the jerks, the quality of the snatches will then increase.

Picture 35 had me all nostalgic.
It was my second and third ever bike, (and second met orange third one met blue) back from '81 thru '84.
God I recall having some fun in younger days, and don't even miss the wallowing around corners.........and completely obliterating the Takanini straight, both sides, with smoke.
