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 .
The Manawatu / VJMC Club managed to fit in another run during the holiday season. The big issue was precipitation and the best way to avoid it. After much poring over a map the decision was made to head north west and see what the weather was like at Cheltenham and see if the Apiti loop was dry. It looked a bit dodgy so we headed to Hunterville via Stormy Point, Vinegar Hill and return. The Hunterville second hand shop is always worth a look and sure enough two vehicles got our attention. Two two stroke cars were on the lot with the DKW Junior registered and warranted whilst the Suzuki Fronte needed a little more work to get it on the road. We had great food and coffee at the cafe next to the motel. Highly recommended. A great mornings ride for the lads. Bikes on the run were Paul Delatour on his Suzuki GT750, Don on a Yamaha RZ350, myself on the Yamaha XJ750, Kim Delatour on his Kawasaki Mach4, Dion on his Kawasaki KR250, Paul Whiting on the Kawasaki KH250 and Alan on the Kawasaki A7 Avenger.
