Always a great meeting. Will be interesting to see if the Britten does some laps.

This is just the Kiwi list, there will be overseas riders as well.

Copied from the NZCMRR website:

"Some of the kiwi riders expected to attend our festival meeting. (Some will be riding/racing or mingling for autograph hunters.):- Andrew Stroud, Bob Coleman, Bob Haldane, Brent Curtis, Chris & Richard Lawrance, Chris Haldane, Craig Sherriffs, Doug Fairbrother, Fred Cook, Gavin Dunlop, Graeme Dickson, Graeme Lacy, Harry Lowe, Hayden Fitzgerald, Hugh Anderson, Hugh Reynolds, Jason Easton, Jason McEwan, Jim Campbell, John Farnsworth, John Gabites, John Hepburn, Ken Dobson, Loren Poole, Mark Perry, Mike King, Nick Pedley, Nigel Bish, Nigel Healey, Noel McCutcheon, Paul McQuilkin, Paul Williams, Peter Leahy, Peter Pawson, Ray Breingan, Ray Laurent, Richard Scoular, Rob Coleman, Shaun Harris, Stev Clegg, Steve Bridge, Ross Graham, Paul Dobbs,Terry Fitzgerald, Terry Paviell, & Tom McLeary... More to be expected.
Total number of entrants for the races is around the 400 mark. Promises to be a great Festival weekend."

Several riders have more than one bike, so if there are 400 riders, then there could be close to 600 bikes! If anyone wanted a motorcycling history lesson, then this is it.

I'll be easy to spot. Surrounded by Benellis & Yamahas, old people and sporting black hair with piercings. Zang.

I dropped into Andy's last night to pick up my free tickets,he was having a BBQ and I was the only Kiwi there.He had just delivered some bikes for storage at McIntosh's,and he was having a Pommy barby.One had an Egli Vincent,one the John Player Norton,the others a Goldstar and a 7R....the Goldstar was in a van..Actualy it was a good evening.

My wife came home after shopping on tuesday night and said there was a Goldstar on a trailer parked outside the video shop...and she spent sometime telling me all about it.she didn't know if it was a DB32 or DB34 because it had no engine numbers...how come she said.It had some sort of Italian forks and a carb she didn't know,not a GP she said....she didn't have her reading glasses.She wanted to ask the guy some questions,but he went into the pizza shop and didn't come out.....the bike sparked some interest for her after all these years.I scored an extra ticket,and I think she might enjoy herself there this year.

Yep, but not sure whether I'll go Saturday or Sunday yet, can't really do both. Has anybody seen a schedule yet!?

**Ixion** · 1st February 2007, 17:30

I haven't and I have the same problem. I presume that the 2nd 9tomorrow ) is practice. But how are Saturday and Sunday split. I doubt I can manage a full day for both so i'd like to know what was on when
