Fat Bikers Motorcycle Club - Waiheke TT Memorial Run - 30th October 2011

[Fatt Max]

So anyway……

In 1931 the first New Zealand TT race was run on an unsealed road on Waiheke Island. The race was won by Sid Moses, who, among other things, introduced decimal currency to New Zealand.

The race started in Ostend. The route was along Belgium St, Ostend Rd, Onetangi Rd and then around the Seaview Rd loop. Each lap was 6 3/4 miles. 1931's race was 20 laps but in 1932 this was increased to 25 laps giving a total distance o...f 168 miles.

Throughout the 1930’s the Waiheke TT Race became a more popular event, notable even for the 1932 Rudge motorcycle that won an incredible four TT races.

A notable winner of the race was the late Len Perry who won eight races in all earning him the nickname the ‘King of Waiheke’.

But enough of the Wikigoogle stuff.......

lets get our gear on and head across the water for a day of fun and frolics on Waiheke Island.

Yes indeed folks, the FBMC will be heading orf across the water to fabulous Waiheke Island to take in the great scenery, ride a few laps of the famous TT circuit and have a great big feed at some point.

When: Sunday 30th October 2011

Where: Half Moon Bay ferry terminal

Time: 9.30am to catch the 10.00am ferry over, returning on the 3.00pm ferry back (or sooner if the place runs out of pies)

Why: Why not, stupid f*****g question

FBMC have negociated fare discounts for the ferry, details to be confirmed soon.

Also, special FBMC Waiheke TT Run T Shirts will be available and the orders will be taken in the next couple of weeks

This will be a charity event as per usual and will involve the usual FBMC mix of riding, eating and fecking around.

See you there, don’t rock the boat eh….

Wouldnt say it was off the ground mate, all these fat bastards in one place might end up sinking the fecking ferry.....good to hear from you big man

[NinjaNanna]

Are these roads still gravel or are they now sealled?

[nosebleed]

Bugger me, learnt something offof KB, who'd a thunk it?

Grew up on Waiheke and never heard a thing about this.
Done that circuit on my BMX though, makes me feel a part of history.

[mrmeal]

looking at the Google satelite views the circuit seems to be fully sealed now. GSXR friendly Haven't street viewed it though to be more accurate for you.

[nodrog:Me]

Do you think its a wise idea to have all you fat cunts on such a small land mass at the same time?

[Fatt Max]

No, it's a crap idea but fuck me how funny would it be if we sunk the island.....be like that TV programme Lost...minter....

[Fatt Max]

Well, this run is certainly generating a bit of interest which is all good.

Now then, a couple of bits of information to go with this one so put down yer doughnut and pay attention:

Ahem......
