Went down to Pukekohe today to watch the NZ Classic Motorcycle Racing. Great seeing the classic racing bikes on the track. I love the cafe racer style bike, it's why I brought the SV650s. :)

I must get a digital camera so I can post images of these events here.

We had a great time racing. I got two races out of three. I withdrew from the last race because of the rain. The last lap of the last race was my fastest ever at Pukekohe. :D I had a fantastic race on my Pantah against a TZ350 Yamaha. I was in front of him for 2 laps. He overtook me on the 3rd. I over took him on the 4th and he finished a bike length ahead of me on the 5th. I was a bit dissapointed not to finish ahead, but getting my fastest lap made up for it. :)

My next race is the NZ TT in December.

Is that Eric Bone next to you on the grid? - still wearing the same leathers and riding the same bikes as in the mid 70's. Hes a biof a time warp merchant that guy.

Sure is. Eric is on 500 Kawasaki two stroke tripple. Also a regular at these events is Ginger Malloy. He finished 2nd in the 500cc World Championship (on a Kwack. tripple) to Agostini on a MV Agusta in the 60's/'70s. Hugh Anderson also makes the odd appearence. He won the 125 World Championship for Suzuki in 1963 and 1965. He laps about 5s a lap quicker on a 500cc Manx Norton than I do on my Pantah! ........ and I don't hang about ;)

Gees is Ginger still around great stuff, last time I saw him was on a trial ride in the Waikato where he delivered a KTM 250 to me mate then jump on his own and road off into the bush that was about 8 years ago

:cool:

Been some great classic bike racing in the UK, went to a meet last weekend Cadwell Park, great blast, even saw someone riding around on a CB360 twin which brought back memories as It was the first bike I owned

Seriously. Do you have wet weather gear or do you just not ride in the rain.

I'm surprised that didn't drive you to drink long before now!

What a disappointment it was after the previous round had such awesome coverage.

...same to you Merv...I actually have a fucking good imagination, so between black screens and no screens and frozen screens and no times and then last weeks times and having lived all that shit for years, I just sat back, chilled and laughed and yelled at myself all day...still dont really know much about the day...I know that Dan McKenzie and Guy Martin had a good battle by the looks of it in the Robert Holden Memorial race...not bad for a tired old CBR1000...
