I just had a look at your profile picture. That looks like a real deal 85. What a gem to have. Must catch up so I can drool on your bike. You gota love em and there are very few 85 models left. Most of them have 86 bits but that looks mint. Well done that man.

It is open to all makes of bikes and the guys are all good, and the pace is your own pace, but its not nana pace, as its modern Triumphs.
Maybe some of you want to come on that if Saturday is out?

I like the sound of this. Should we try and do both?

So you make sure Mum and Dad give you heaps of stuff and shower you with big gifts that make lots of loud sounds that make you buzz along at great speed.

Well thanking you most kindly!

Truth be told, digital cameras are wonderful at hiding imperfections, of which my bike has many.
However to give my bike credit where it's due, with a little investment in time and money, it is slowly getting closer to being the gem you describe.

Your bike also looks fantastic (the more gixxer riders the better as far as I'm concerned

), and I look forward to meeting more of the Hawke's Bay crew.
