Eric Bone on the H2, he's got to be almost 70 years old ? Anybody ?

Good on ya Eric.

Not sure of his age but I do know he's raced at every Paeroa meeting there ever was. I was in their pit when Erics son Rick spoke about getting onto racing but Mum quickly put the kybosh on that idea.

Went to Paeroa and loved it. Even though I had to go home 3/4 through the day. As for the program, I bought a tee shirt, that got me a free program.
I too would like to race Paeroa, in 2015. But the missus who is very supportive of my track racing, was less impressed with the idea of doing Paeroa.
Went to HD for the Classic too. but spent much of the time drooling on the bikes in the pits instead of watching the racing.
So I guess the fact that I was able to go to both meetings (as a spectator) makes me "super ritch"! Yahoo, now if only I could find where I put all my wealth, then I too could rebuild my race engine. Until then I'll just do what I can and keep on enjoying it. I wont bother bitching about it.

Eric is the man for sure. Funny how those bikes look so slim and tiny now, but when I was young we thought they were so big and mean.

He's changed his leathers after 40 yrs!

I see there is a video of Eric up on Youtube - love the old rattly engine sound of the two stroke. Some nice passing under brakes there too Eric:
