210 bikes, trade stalls, don't miss it, waldegrave st palmerston north
weathers looking perfect for it too

[F5 Dave]

We are most likely heading up tomorrow as weather for riding is pretty average. En mass our number could be as high as 3.

[Laava]

You might get a police escort!

I am hoping to have my lil project ready for octobers national bike show.

[F5 Dave]

It was quite good really. I didn't take many pics but. .

Only harley worth owning? For comedy reasons.

But gave birth to Cagiva. Which kinda saved Ducati.

[F5 Dave]

An Historically important bike when you think of it

...which makes it all the more blasphemous that my daydreaming plans for decades has been to fit one with ape hangers and forward pegs so you can turn up to HOG rides.

In the wind Righteous Bros [Big handful, Ring a Ding Ding Ding].:banana:
Don't worry, they couldn't catch you.

[F5 Dave]

Yes. The leftover of the un-marriage to Hardly was i believe sold to the Castiglonis. As they say. Bada-bing, bada-boosh.

they wouldn't eve notice, i was out on my 1918 henderson in palmy one day, national hog rally at pub, hundreds of bikes there, i rode up and parked in over an hour two guys got on one or both knees to look at the bike, plenty looked but had no real understanding to even bother to look closer, there's a chain drive on one side and a large sprocket type thing on the other, that clearly mates into another sprocket, enters a drive cable that goes up to the speedo, all add ons, i get tired of the relentless question, what is the big sprocket for, so many people just cannot follow the system to the speedo,
they aren't motorcyclists really, it's just an excuse to wear a black t shirt

[F5 Dave]

A mate has one in his lounge , pipes FZR wheels forks, but and a 3MA frame (reverse cylinder TZR) for it to go into as next stage. He doesn't know that he's storing it for me. But he is.

Harleys most sucessfiul race bike was the XR750, But if you look close at the head it owes quite a bit to the 350 Machi.
