For those people who enjoy motorcycles from the past, and in particular the 60s, 70s and 80s. This saw the rise and demise of the large 2 strokes that many of us enjoyed in our youth. This blog celebrates this time in particular but also motorcycling in general .
For Wellington Anniversary day Kim, Dion, Alan and myself decided to use part of the day for a VJMC/Blue Haze run. The weekend had been intermittently punctuated with fine spells, but mostly rain so we were hanging out for a ride. After a few hiccups in the morning with H2 fuel taps we set off for the Pohangina Valley and the Pilgrims Rest cafe. What a great ride with the only hassle being a bit of gravel in a few places. Had a great ride on Dions KR. What a huge jump from my KH. The difference in power and handling is like night and day. The Totara Reserve section is a treat with the bush on either side of you. The cafe is recommended with an excellent $7.50 Ploughmans lunch with coffee and even an old Velocette sitting inside the cafe to look at. After a few stops for some video on the way back we finally got home for afternoon tea.
