So, what else do you do on a boring, damp, dull winter’s day? You head off to the Classic bike show !
Telstra Pacific Events Centre in Auckland, interesting building but Pay and Display monitored parking?? Really, on Saturday, that’s an incentive.
But, what a blast... one of the (few) joys of aging is that you have more and more cool memories to reflect upon, right?

I saw my first real love here, (read bike!) in the shape of a purple Jawa from 1963, ok mine was black but it still sent a tingle up my spine! But, I’m getting ahead of myself a bit.

35th Annual Rally – Waihi Beach N.Z. 2012

Although I have been to this event as back – up a couple of years ago, now I had the chance to enter my 1956 Triumph Tiger 100 at last. All oils changed at 1000 miles since the completed restoration at Christmas and all would be well!
