Whats in your shed?

It's always fascinating to see what others have in their sheds. Russell Wishnowsky certainly is a man of many interests, judging by what he has on display in his shed. The Manawatu Classic Motorcycle Clubs August club run popped into Russells shed to have a look at not only his motorcycles, but a huge range of New Zealand memorabilia from the past 100 years. Many a story flowed as people made there way through the collection reminiscing about family and friends and the many occasions that make up an interesting life. The run to get to there had taken us via Colyton and Cheltenham with a delayed start due to our fearless ride leaders bike refusing to fire up. Being an older bike it proved to be an electrical problem; the kill switch! At least Al and Ian got there exercise for the day pushing Mike and his bike up the road. Definitely a memorable start to the ride!
The next stop after Russells shed was off to Murphy's in Feilding for some lunch. A great little feed for ten bucks and a nice range of ales. All to soon it was time to head home and attend to some domestic chores but Als Kawasaki F9 Bighorn decided it didn't want to go home and started misbehaving just after Taonui. After changing plugs things were no better so Ian headed off to the metropolis of Bunnythorpe to find Graham and his van. Graham soon turned up and after loading the bike into Grahams van its delivery to town was organised for the following day. Sir Al jumped on the back of the XJ and we headed off to his place. It's been awhile since either of us have been in such a situation so it was an interesting experience riding two up on the XJ. There was a noticeable difference with the power and handling but we managed to get to Als place in one piece and celebrated with a good brew.
Another interesting Sunday with a few more stories to add to the motorcycle diary for 2019. Having a shed with a few treasures in it certainly ensures that there is always something to tinker with and you can then share it with others. A big thank you to Russell for sharing his shed.
