I know the feeling ... This one is of my Grandfather on his Henderson, along with two of his mates ... also with a Henderson each. Taken in Alexandra around 1925. I am told two of these machines are owned locally, but its not known if my Grandfathers bike is one of them. More questions to ask I guess.

Henderson's were an inline 4. (front to back) Note appropiate use of "safety" gear. Well for that period anyway.The Picket fence is where the Alex. BNZ Bank now stands today.

My Granfather is on the right.
