    This guy has about 60 or so bikes but the other chap I will be speaking to has over 100 Honda's so the are lot's of photo's to take

    Will post more when I get a chance

    Cheers

    Great shots, had one of those 250 watercooled TZR's amazing 130mph!! The big boys didn' t like my little wasp on our back roads heh heh heh

    Get to the Craven museum near York if yer have not been, great bikes mainly old, and the ambience (dusty stuff hung up all over) is great and keep filling yer coffee mug as yer go round. The guy still sprints his 2 Vincents! and real easy to chat with, some bikes and bits for sale as well.

    Great Pics. But knowing New Zealand those bikes were all probably in everyday use until a few years ago and stuff from the '90s are probably classed as modern rides now.

    Not really anymore as I have seen a load of 800 Tiger XC's and Multistrada's on the road over here as well as the ever present Harley, America's Speedmaster's and Thunderbirds also seen very popular
