Hi guys !!
I'm from France and I'll be in New Zealand all november.
A long time ago, a guy "called" Rainbow wizard" came in France and I meet with the local Voxan club. I found his profile here but without activity since 2006...

So I'm loocking for a contact with Kiwi who rides Voxan, I can bring them some parts if needed.
O f course I'll go and see the Britten at Te Papa but if there's an interesting event of classic bike of a specific race let me know it !!

In France I have a shop specialised in 90's triumph, 3 cylinder carbs. I do french road race, something like rally for cars (WRC), a lot of kilometers to do, by day and night with some closed roads to be the fastest !! I race since 10 years, the last one was with a side car, built with an KTM RC8R.

I know where the Rainbow Warrior is if that's any help.

Oh I didn't came back heren I thought I would emailed if any answer !!

thanks a lot for all your answers.
I remember that rainbow wizard was working in lift / elevator.

For the rainbow warrior and other nuclear stuff, it's the problem of democraty, when you loose election you have to follow the other... and when you have media you win the election... so in france nuclear, diesel are predominent.

2 voxans in NZ is ever a big number, there's not a lot outside france, even inside...

for the side car :
that's the who built it, before they hab an hayabusa and now they race in classic with a vincent engine, a friend of mine is a vincent specialist, so we work all together on it.

It is a pity you leave on the 27th Nov. The Southern Classic Festival follows the Burt Munro Challenge on the following weekend.

Great video, thanks for the link. "restore" yes that is the correct word, working on a BSA in this clip but riding a Meteor.

When you are in Wellington, visit the museum Te Papa - there is a Britten mounted on a stand in the coffee shop. You can sit as long as you like studying it.
