That looks like a great time will be had. Beach racing on classic bikes should be interesting - I did that at Sellicks Beach here in South Oz with a single cylinder Norton ES2 back in the 80s or so.

Suitably warm here today - around 42C so no problems with the cold Very Happy

Hi Darryl- sounds like a fun trip.

Say hi to Helen for us from up in New Hampshire.

Ice and snow here and temperatures below 0Â° C. Springtime should be here in 2-3 months.

We will get down to NZ some day. Retirement for me is less than 2 years. Hopefully then...

Safe trip.

John

Hi Daryl...
That sounds like a super trip... I think both John and I, plus many others, are really stoked at just the thought of such an adventure! Iâ€™ve been a Burt Monro fan since I first learned of him when I was in college now some 50+ years ago, and the village, town, or city of Invercargill has always held a fascination for me. Did you happen to take any pictures youâ€™d care to share while there ?

Best to you, and continue to Ride Safe...../ Ernie in NH

Hi Darryl. I hope you guys didn't get stuck somewhere. Things are going crazy and pretty much everywhere is shut down.
