GREETINGS FROM NZ
« on: January 04, 2011, 08:36:36 am »
I ride a Kawasaki KT 250 in twinshock trials and co-ordinate events for the lower North Island. Ran my first classic trial on Hutt River in 1991 and first Pre 75 scramble fun day. Ride a BSA 1971 Lightning 650 in classic road rally events. Have a 1971 B25MX in the shed my son ride for a few years, plus Jeff Smith on his 2008 visit to NZ. Bought a new BSA B50SS street scrambler on Dec 22nd 1972 and have been active in NZBSA Club since 1975. During 1973 became very interested in BSA B50MX and CCM machines and am running a twinshock meeting featuring many of these machine at Upper Hutt in Feb 26-27th. Am expecting over 40 British bikes on the track including 5-6 CCM machines, plus a pile of twinshock machines from around NZ. Former Works CCM rider will be on one. Mick Andrews former AJS-Matchless works rider will be on Works matchless 600 plus Rickman Metisse 600 (1968 motor one of the last 3 made at the factory). And arranging Mick Andrews 5 week NZ Tour. So pretty passionate about old off road bikes as you can see.

About time you showed up on here, Robert. Have you got Reg Dixon teed up for a gallop ?
