Rally In the Deep South 2016

It was with some trepidation that we ran the 2016 Rally In Dunedin, fearing it might be just a bit too far for the attendance to be worthwhile.. We need not have worried. Whilst the numbers at 26 riders were lower than might be expected in place like Palmerston Nth or Christchurch, we still had a dedicated band and we enjoyed a very well organised and, for us North Islanders, a fabulous day of riding in the golden hills of Central Otago. Thanks must go to the great work from the organising committee (Brian Walker Dave Hastings assisted by Bill Veitch and others). If you ever want to visit an eclectic collection of stuff, pop in and see Phil Ford In Middlemarch - more unusual machines than you can think about hiding in his shed. Phil made us very welcome. The only down side if you can call it that was that the heat of the day enticed most of us on our way fairly quickly, eager to cool off in the breeze!

Once again the Register was able to mount a stand at the motorcycle show in Auckland. We even managed a second prise for best restoration on Ann Nitschke's VG 500, see picture. The stand was made possible thanks to Daryl Nitschke volunteering to set it up and man it over the two days.


 
 
 

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.
