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 branch of the VJMC decided on a run to make the most of the continuing great autumn weather. Dions used this as a test run for his T500 and as the video shows the oil pump needs serious adjusting! Found some great new roads out the back of Hunterville with one road seeming to suggest a town none of us had heard of. Worth investigating. It proved to be a phantom town but the road to get to it had some great corners and scenery. Our stop off in Hunterville at our favourite cafe was greeted with the usual good quality food and great to see they had the fire on as the temperatures are definetly dropping as we get closer to the shortest day of the year. Dion rejoined us after turning around in Feilding with a T500 needing more fettling but as usual his replacement bike, the KR250 was still suffering from starting issues. Bruce didn't have to go to the gymn that day as he pushed Dion up the road to get him started!
