Rally Napier 2015 Part 2




About 26 Bikes and 30 people attended the Napier rally. Perfect eather allowed for a very enjoyable rally located on the beach at Bayview just north of Napier. The run took in some of the best Hawkes Bay countryside including a visit to Fred Timmo's (Speedway) farm and bike collection situated well into the countryside. The collection there was ecletic ranging from unrestored 1920's Harley DAvidson through to Speedway bikes and even some kids ride-on motorbikes from past decades. Out thanks to Fred for dragging all the bikes out and putting them on display for us.. The evening meal went off well in the holiday park cafe where we filled them to capacity but they did extremely well with the meals for us.. The Hiliday Park is at the end of the coastal wolkway so plan to take lunch there if you are doing that wolk sometime.

A small swapmeet saw severl parts carried off before everyone packed up and went back to their respective homes.

Ariel Adventure in Italy 2014


Recently the Italian vintage car club re-created the ISDN race of 1914 which was approximately a 2300km race around Italy over 9 days. To participate in the re-creation riders were required to be riding a marque that took place in the original race 100 years ago. The original race was won by an Ariel ridden by an Italian rider.The recreation involved 55 bikes ranging from the 1920's through to the 1950's. Most were Ariels as the re-creation was in fact run by the Ariel club of Italy. The picture is the starting of the rally near Milano. There was one NZ Ariel club member (the president) in the mix on a 1956 Huntmaster. It was hot so one Huntmaster decided to cool off.
