Classic bike gathering

[Voltaire]

Whaddaya mean some one has to follow me? Am I the test dummy for scouting ahead for maritime disasters or summit?:

Yeah....lloyds had to ring the Lutine bell on yer last outing.
I water blasted the Duke today in prep for Pukekohe and .....gasp it still started after having water near it
Looking forward to seeing Max in full Barvarian attire....mit steins.:

Whats happin'n with the 'classic gathering" are we following Ixion with a compass into the wilderness of Hunua..... ning a ning ning ning....

[Voltaire]

[QUOTE=Voltaire;1915618]I propose to make the route simple so as there are no need for 'pointing' or maps and the like.
Arrive 10:00...depart 10:30
How about meet at the Mackers/BP at the top of Bombay Hills, Ararimu, Hunua, Clevedon, Orere, Kaiaua for lunch at the chip shop/pub, Miranda, SH2 and finishing at Pokeno for an ice cream.

Ixion could you update your calendar entry to reflect the above route and time.
The bike age cutoff for this event is 1980.

***** Pre 1976 classic racing says summit like.....the bike must have been in production prior to 1976.....so thats why you see 78 Guzzis and Nortons in the pre 76 class......so under this * your bevel qualifies....up to the 86 model.
As for the Yamaha ...might have to do a combined rider/bike.

eg: me and Duke = 78 yrs

Ah well, the first Yamaha four cylinder shaft drive was 1978. All the rest is just bigger holes and more plastic. So the FJ qualifies I reckon. Providing at least two of that ridiculous number of cylinders are disabled

Hey, does once having owned a '67 Triumph Trophy help get place in the line. I'm happy to stay at the back and would be riding the Guzzi. I'm keen to get involved with something like that again when the bank balance permits.

Well done sir.

Gents, it appears we have a volunteer willing to shout the ice creams....

Bugger. Another ruddy recruit to the Axis forces. I'm going to be seriously outnumbered, aren't I. Never mind, muddling through, losing every battle but the last, Mr Brown goes off to town and all that. Thin red line, stiff upper lip, and send the damnable Boche and their spagetti eating allies back across the Siegfried line, eh.

Just get the Yanks and the Russians to bail you out again.
Some pre Evo Harleys and some Cossacks....
Mr Brown caught the 8:51...

The Italians only joined up with ze Germans because they thought the uniform looked more snazzy (if not a little kinky) than the itchy kaki drab worn by le Britishers.
I mean, come on, a tank with more reverse gears than forward???
Huge sniper magnet feathers in high ranking officers hats???
Wine with breakfast??
Cease fires during the afternoons so they could take a nap??

The Italian men supported the war effort because they thought they could impregnate more women if they were in a smart uniform. Which actually worked, Italy had a lot of war babies.

So THAT'S why Italian bikes often stop running after a lunch break......

Well done sir.

Raspberry thick shakes at Pokeno, 6 scoops of ice cream beaten to a pulp and no milk added. It's bloody good for the waistline too. Gonna need more than 30hp to haul that fat ass around.

Sounds like a good ride, pity that for me and the qualifying steed this weekend is a putting the bits back together hopefully in the right order weekend.

[Paul in NZ]

When is this again?

[Ixion]

This Sunday. 15th. If any of us remember.

I think we should prohibit electric starters. Kick start only. Or push. That will keep the modern rabble away.
