Dunedin rides

[hayd3n]

A beautiful day to ride South to greet fellow riders from around Southland & Otago. I estimate 80-100 bikes turned out for comraderie, pork spit sammies, and the occasional beer. A nice badge was minted for the occasion too. The Publican gave prizes for best bikes etc and then proceeded to wander around the bikes handing out beanies to anyone in his way. Good on ya mate!
Forgot my camera BUT the best bike was a 1975 Suzuki RES, a water cooled rotary owned by a female invercargil rider & Bladerider97. (Take note Jantar!)
KB'ers on site were Tjwatt, Silvergrin (& Michelle), Xaria, Nighthawk, Scummy & Chrissiebimbo, & Phaedrus that I remember. Others??? !!!

Ah, it's an RE5 Chris - and owned by a lady from Balclutha - and Jantar knows the bike well!!

But great to catch up with you and the other KBers - especially Phaedrus who was on his first big ride since his 'oops' almost a year ago.

Well we went down to Balclutha this morning to have a look at the new Farmers Market - I gave a great big wave to the bikes leaving Scummy's place just as we went past - AND NOT ONE of you waved back ( maybe it had something to do with the big diesel burning beast with trainer wheels I was driving??)

Sounds like you had a good day - it was a great afternoon for dirt biking as well and at least we managed some of that

Great to see Phaedrus getting out and about

any one have plans for the long weekend???????????
maybe a ride or 2

I sure do. Its the very first RE5 I ever owned. I have worked on that bike many times over the years, and know its complete history. Mechanically, its probably the best RE5 in the country. Although it is a 1975M model, it has the 1976 rotor housing and seals.

The Mini TT in the Club calendar is a mistake as it was postponed (Got that from Kevin G), so don't put yer knobblies on head to Teretonga instead.

You must have done a good job, cause she is running great. I think I may also have solved the plug fouling problem. Thanks Jantar & Lew for keeping her in great nick over the years.
