Classic bike gathering

**Voltaire** · 28th January 2009, 08:02

I know us old bike owners are spread all over the country but I was wondering if any of the Auckland members might like to drag out their old ones and meet up somewhere for a coffee/beer and swap stories?
Maybe something like the Karaka side of the Papakura off ramp....nice ride down the backroads thru Puke and an ice cream/beer/coffee at Pokeno?
Open to suggestions....
( I have a recovery vehicle available

)

Yeah, I''ll be in. Just need to pick a date that doesn't confilict with anything else.....

**Ixion** · 28th January 2009, 12:33

I'm a starter , subject to dates.

**The Pastor** · 28th January 2009, 14:06

dose a '92 count as classic?

**Motu** · 28th January 2009, 17:38

Of course everyone is going to the Classic meeting?????

Tell me where you will all park - and I will park somewhere else.

**Ixion** · 28th January 2009, 21:45

Sh. They don't want anyone to know it's on.

**Motu** · 28th January 2009, 22:23

I always got a poster to hang up in my shop....and free tickets.I am going to have to pay to get in this year.I have to go...it's one of the few times in the year that certain people I know will all be in one place.

Any cutoff would by quite fuzzy, and not strictly enforced anyway....mid-late '80s would be a very rough guide, but anyone with a later bike who has an interest in classics would be made welcome (after we tease you about your "modern"!).

Your Guzzi looks very nice BTW...

I saw a good solution to the 'cutoff' issue once.

Any bike welcome, but anyone on a newer than 19xx model had to buy a beer/coffee for any rider on a older than 19xx model who arrived at the destination after he did. So, newish bikes welcome, but they need either to have deep pockets or make sure they stay behind the scrap iron.

That would be me fucked if the A was dragged out!!

So - when and where. This weekend ? may be too soon for some.

Next weekend is the classic races, that's out we all need to go to Puke, track down Mr Motu and point at him.

Weekend after that ?
