    NZ HotRod mags from the early eighties?

    I'm looking for someone who has, or may know someone who has, a collection of early 1980's New Zealand Hot Rod mags.
    Before you tell me to go away I'm looking for an article on a chopper that I'm pretty sure featured in one of the mags from those days.

    I joined the NZ hotrod forum but can't seem to post anything so going with what I know, KiwiBiker.

    Kinda off topic but at the annual book fair here in nelson there were bundles of hotrod mags from the 60s & 70s for about $5 a bundle. They were very cool.

    from late 1981 to late 1982
    The bike was called the Warlord, I always enjoy a hunt through old mags, takes way longer than it should usually

    I think it is only $5 or $6 to order back issues from NZ Hotrod.com.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Is this the bike. I seem to recall that you own it now? The picture got reversed before it was labeled. This pic came from an article about Steve Roberts in an aussie (I think) mag a couple or three years back

    The only chopper I'd care to ride
