Just pulled into Coromandel (in the car :cry2:) and stumbled on the NZ Indian Clubs weekend away.
Some nice Old Iron on display.

It's great to see old bikes out and about running, not in a museum.

Yes Mick very true, we followed them about half an hour later from Coromandel to Whitianga, no bikes were spotted stopped. Some had come from as far as the bottom of the South Island.

Mjgt, correct. when my dad was alive had choice of 1952 bsa gold star, ariel 500 red hunter or 1937 harley. not that long ago. why i didnt keep them, another life mistake. was unreal to get on one of them for a blast. so different. harley was complete with sidecar and reverse gear. we also had a 149cc velocette noddy bike. search them. hand start. shaft drive, water cooled.
