Rachel- if you have a furtherest travelled prize, I am riding down with my mate from the far north, hopefully we will both make it as the bikes will be some of the oldest there

Hiya, thanks for the Ferry tips - will post that info on our Facebook page as well...will talk to the committee re futherest travelled (we have COOL trophies for this year!!) I know we have been talking about old bike categories as well so you in with a shot! What do you have?

Sad that you can't make it - maybe we get you to come in 2013 - we are having tentative thoughts to have it Greymouth...

Nah, too hard to fit tassles to a Guzzi - and the heads make it tricky for lanky pricks to reach forward controls!

1970 Ambassador PD same as in the Clint Eastwood movie Magnum Force

Best motorcycle Vs car chase ever, hear the Guzzi roar!

I have watched the crash at the end in HD super slo-mo and think that it is real... stunning.
