Taupo to Napier to Palmerston North - Conquest Tour

[LaughingGnome]

The CatWalk Trust has been given the opportunity to import and promote a Martin Conquest motorcylce from the UK. The Conquest is a 3 wheeler motorcyle designed for users in wheelchairs. It is doing a national tour, Auckland to Southland, late October and early November. I would like to see how many kiwiriders are keen to join the various legs of tour.

Do you provide trainer wheels for the participants? Most of us can't ride that slow for fear of falling over....
