So who is coming?
Down/up in Havlock near Picton on Sunday.

Or are you all Honda riders? :devil2:

Looks like I may be the only one to uphold the Kiwibiker honour.

My bike is a bit dented but survived a high speed cartwheel remarkably well.
Luckily I wasn't riding it at the time.

I raced a lot but was entered in pre 80, pre 86, smallbore, midbore, open 4st so there were plenty of races to go around.
There were over 60 bikes in one class! (pre 86 I think).
>30 in pre 80!

The top pic "X" is my beast :D
Here it is hunting down a Maico.

Those are awesome photos!

When you say `Luckily I wasn't riding it at the time', you really mean you were having a wee lie down whilst the bike went for a bit of rough and tumble by itself?

My brother was riding, I was photographering.
But as it happened on the furthest part of the track and I had my back turned, I didn't get any shots...

I did get one of him glaring though...
