Just a few pics,John Surtees and the MV,Sammy and the Gilera,and proof that sometimes Trigger can finish a few races on the um....well have a guess eh?

Motu: you've caught Hamish (my husband) in the photo of the MV: he's in the Akubra hat, you can just see his head behind the guy with the blue long shorts and the blue t-shirt and the cream hat, holding the coffee in the brown container.

I've just gotten back from the meeting. Too stuffed to write much, but we were there for a few hours Friday and all of Saturday.

Ride up Friday was good, left 5.45am and came up via Wanganui/Paraparas. Boy, it was freezing at National Park - I had to have two coffees and a pie to warm up. Then carried on via Otorohanga/Pirongia/Ngaruawahia. It was hot as shit at the track.

Saturday did some shopping at Motomail first thing then out to the track. Bumped into HEAPS of people I knew, and some I didn't (but do now). Including SpankMe!! (worth wearing your KB t-shirts guys, that's how I recognised Spank) Some amazing bikes both on and off the track. The MV sounded so so so different.

Rode back today from Morrinsville (sorry you missed me there on your ride FF) - it was fine to Te Kuiti then it pissed down. We came back via Taranaki as the sky looked slightly better that way. Mt Messenger was greasy as shit, it was real tippy-toe stuff. It was wet up to Inglewood. Then from Bulls onwards it was bumper-to-bumper cage traffic, there was some sort of armed offenders thing going on by the Brown Sugar Cafe at Otaki, cop cars with lights flashing for Africa, brought the traffic to a complete stop for ages.

Off to bed now to catch up on zzz's before work again tomorrow.

A great weekend.

What an awesome day ...damn shame I couldnt head back there for Sundays racing. Great memories to hang on to. Some poor begger lost his chain right on the green light.

Thanks Jackrat for catching up with me. I guess outside the cop shop was a good call huh

I am now pencilling in for next year as the racing was awesome and the crowd was much better in the afternoon. Shame I missed you Motu and Andrew.

Shall I post the dozen shots I have of legs and bums in front of the MV and Gilera to see who else you can pick out? like a swarm of flies they wuz.

And related to the Voxan thread - was that you I saw talking to the dude with the Voxan at the end of the day? he was stuffing his face and started the bike and reved it for you from the left side? If so,sorry I missed you - I don't go around introducing myself to people I don't know on the off chance it may be some i don't know.

It was a good day though I reckon.

Redstar: I'm so sorry, we left Wgtn at 5.45am on Friday so I didn't see your posting, or I would have left the tickets for you. You would have been welcome to have had them as freebies, as we'd had two days worth out of them! Once again, so sorry I didn't see the posting.

no worries I went on sunday and it pissed with rain on the way there about lunch time but I carried on and bugger if the sun did'nt come out and it dried up nicely. and it was only $15 to get in they have finally dicovered marketing as a concept. so out came the sun and the latter programe was awsome I was old john Surtees and sammy miller do the deed and the britten on full song ginger Malloy winning as usual on his bultacco it was great if I was a bit lonesum
