Can anyone tell me when the classics are on this year? I had pencilled in for 7th of Feb which is next weekend but damned if I can find out much more detail.

Thanks SPman...bit of a worry when it takes an effort for bikers to find when the events are on. See you all there?

It was advertized in BRM but I couldn't find it anywhere else.
John Surtees and Sammy Miller are both going to be there.
Only nine sleeps to go.
I can smell the oil on cast iron now

Last year I decided not to go this year, but now it is this year I've had a re-think. Hope it's fine - if so I will take my '83 CB1100 (just to prove it still goes...)

Cool what? and Jackrat. I will look out for you dont be scared I am not really mad just a looney.
So start time is usually 10am? - SPmans link doesnt seem to work

I think it is taken as read as its always the first weekend in Feb? it gets more attended every year I,ve been to the last three. heaps to see and do I was a bit pissed off last year that on top of the $20 entry there was $5 to cross the bridge to the pits and the Pit side was less interesting than the year before. I reckon it would be better to build it into the entry and i recon if you go on sunday it should be cheaper again. but I'll go anyway. :

Redstar if you heading out on the 7th do ya wanna hook up and ride down together? You virtually my neighbour .. poor thing

You know a pink ballet tutu would make you a lot easier to find

**MadDuck** · 30th January 2004, 22:04

It's my big day out too,I've been going with many missed out since the first one,we used to camp out the whole weekend back then.I don't know which day I'll go,but seeing as it's on the friday as well I might go then.Dunno if I'll take bike or car - I just hate carrying all that gear around on a hot summer day.Maybe I'll ride down in shorts T shirt and jandals,that'd be cool.Now,what bike - XLV,XT or XS1....the old dog by default I reckon.

My brother will miss it by a couple of days,he comes out from Canada on wednesday,he'll miss not seeing the bikes and Sammy and Surtees.But he'll come to Paeroa anyway,so he'll still see some bike racing.Did he send you a message from 650garage Jack? we will be based in Waiuku.

If you see a nobody who doesn't warrant a second glance...look again,that's me.

**Jackrat** · 3rd February 2004, 15:00

Yeah I did get a message from over there.
An then stuffed up the reply an spat the dummy.
Look forward to meeting both of you though.
I'm only going on the saturday and will do Paeroa as well.
