Enjoy Kiwi, funny how thats now an amazing collection, it is. 50 yrs ago they were just bikes that came around home. I looked thru them, have ridden example of each. If i could choose one, too hard. Enjoy your day Mate.

Been at the Wanganui Boxing Day Street Races.
Good ride both ways 700km round trip. Stayed in a motel not too far from the track. Quite a few bikers staying there, always enjoy gasbagging with other riders. Met two other 1400 owners and told them about this place. One of the bikes was a mint Final Edition it was lovely. Both owners were very happy and spoke highly of their choice of bike. The other was a black with those popular twin headlight fairings and belly pan combo. He said he'd written his first one off and replaced it with an identical bike.
The Wanganui track is referred to as the Cemetery Circuit.
On the way home, Mt Ruapehu in the background.
Last two photos were taken from the same spot I just turned slightly. Beautiful.
Bike got a pat on the tank when we got home.
Great few days    :boogie2:
