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 .

New Zealand VJMC National Rally, Kaiapoi, Christchurch
The Manawatu VJMC Blue Haze club had a strong delegation attend the annual VJMC national rally at Kaiapoi near Christchurch in New Zealand. This included Kim on his H2, Paul De Latour on his GT750 Suzuki, Bruce on his fill in for his RT1, his BMW, Paul Whiting on his recently restored GPz 750r, Tim on his R1, Don on the mighty GT500 Suzuki, Dione on his Kr1 and Alan on his A7 Avenger. The trip over on the ferry was pleasant but riding between Blenheim and Kaikoura everyone encountered a horrendous storm with huge winds and hail with Dione suffering the most. Some had to pull over and wait for the storm to pass as it became very dangerous with bikes being blown across the road.
Some great bikes were seen at the rally with a highlight being a local with an extraordinary collection of Yamaha twins. Another highlight for the team was Alan winning the peoples choice award with his A7. The trip back was far more pleasant with sunshine and a stopover in Nelson. An excellent trip with everyone looking forward to next years rally and a big thank you to Ross and Judy for making it all happen.
