I was a bit let down with the motorbike aspect when i went, a wander around Nth Shore bike shops is as good and there is no entry fee.
Crusty demon type stuff is always a buzz to watch.
Couple of years ago i was impressed with a wall climbing display thing, horizontal roof about 3 metres up and these rock climbing dudes were seeing who could get the furterest out, just hanging on with there fingers to small pieces of stuff, supporting there full weight on there fingers and arms.
Totally impressed I was,made my arm ache watching them.
It is a bit of fun, but mostly not about bikes. They don't really have as strong a presence as I would wish! Then again, if I was organising it, it would be the Big Boys & Girls Bike Show...![]()
It has some nice machinery on display though...especially if you like noisy engines!![]()
Wouldn't that be a trip "up to" Auckland?
this year be the 08 bking & 08 busa should be there none the less.
usual have all the new models, but not full of bikes, but tons of other stuff to have a look at, if ya not been always to go to every other year or so.
cool thanks well i hope its worth it.its only $18 so as long as i get to see two wheels of some sort ill be happy and it gives me an excuse to go look around the bike shops UP in Auckland.bking/busa's very weird bikes in my opinion...super bike performance and people ride them on a daily commute...![]()
jason deeming from asphault assult`s doing some stunt riding, he`s going to open sum eyes he`s riding sick as now
plugs-for-lugs will be there too, you can get some fancy custom moulded ear plugs.
"And, look, the luscious and fecund fronds of the Silver Fern has given brilliant birth to a stupendous fruit! A red Hondaberry, desposited by a lesser known species of Plonker Gittus Maximus Idiotus."
tis not bad
DUCATI ALL THE WAY!!!
I actually loved it , been there three years in a row. last year they had the world champion of free style riding from germany , man he was ausum. We have all probably seen stunt videos of some sort but this guy was sooo amazing. trully spectacular. and the crusty demons always make their way there so its cool to watch them , aldou they had one girl that was kinda new , and didnt do tricks just jumps , but its more than i can manage so , god bless the limit pushers. I'm telling you , you will like it. and as you said 18bux aint expensive at all , plus there are alot of ladies, with big boys toys on them, lol. you'll like it.
Don't go! I went in 2002 and ended up buying a BMW F650CS so it was a bloody expensive weekend!
Nice cars but not as many bikes as I would have liked. Don't know if that has changed in the years since then.
And it's not just boys who like toys!![]()
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
