CB&Me are considering it, we've just received the Deep South HOG travel itinary, looks like an easy cruise so will have to check the work roster. (& dollars - to buy more tassles and chrome blingy stuff with!)

So what are their plans? We are starting up that way the weekend before and having a cruise around the Nth island with a couple of others, via the coromandel to that place

thats cos they r hot!

well that would be ONE way of looking at it I guess!

Only worries I have involve traffic lights, round-ma-bouts and sharing the same 1/2 km section of road with more than 5 cages, - oh, and crossing that big-arsed ditch en route.




And Dangerous being in the vicinity, now that IS a worry!!!

You DO know that if the South Auckland bosses know you're up here, they'll press gang you into working in that shit hole. They'll have you doing traffic and tell the Pollies they're cracking down on crime.
You've been warned.

sorry mate but theres a minimum cc rating I'm afraid, at least a Blast level, but preferable have to have a minimum of 883....

what don't they let those 2 strokes from the 70's in or any of the 45's?

hog club really do have their heads up their own £$$%

[Motu]

Very selective about the image aren't they?

Bite number two!!

they don't like shovels and they probably list evo's as antiques

best thing about hog is all the disgarded bikes they get rid of after about 2-3 years which makes them more affordable for the rest of us

Bite number two!!

I don't see it as a bite,you should know I'm not anti HD - but they have a huge history,and made a lot of bikes that weren't V twins.There was the Aremachi connection (my wife had a 350 Sprint SX) and they even made their own DKW clone 2 strokes.Selective memories for the HD image.Guzzi riders do the same,to them it's only the V twins....but at least the Ducati owners recognise the singles.

MotoGuzzi made a 250 four cylinder road bike at one stage (actually a Benelli clone).....

Where I stayed in Melbourne we had one sitting on the hearth,a nice little bike.

As per my PM, I haven't seen any restriction on bike size or age on the entry form and I for one have no problem with an Aermacchi turning up and have not heard anybody else having the 'nothing less than 883' attitude - and if HOG did have such a problem I would do a Grouch Marx on their HOG membership.

Shovels are now kool and are much admired - they have their own 'group' of admirers.
