Collection of bikes in nz worth a look.
« on: February 04, 2013, 09:10:42 pm »
type in "Ron Hebberd" nz, & see his collection of all sorts of bikes in Blenheim or Seddon down south in nz. Used to have a rural m/cycle shop & service station, one of the nicest jovial older guys you could meet. I recall reading a 'Beaded Wheels magazine" [nz vintage mag]not so long ago & Ron was organsing the vintage car club rally or [trial it should have been] & the pics of where they went--with Ron leading no doubt] was TY250 territory & here's these 1920's cars tackling the back country stuff--all seemed to come out smiling too--or towed out.

Be very careful searching that name as cause Ron Hubbard will appear in the search window it could suck into scientology and hopefully spit you out.
