Sara took a shit load of pics. As soon as I can get to a home computer I'll load them up. Great meeting eceryone so far and thanks guys for all the help. Next time it has to be a one dayer with bands and no stock Thruxtons and store bought choppers. Who invited them??

Did you say store built Choppers???
Looks like a great show anywho, Irish pat yourself on the back great job Brother.

Here's a little quote for ya's, From Tom Fugle.

I love to build and ride choppers, as it is an expression of my art. I guess that's because
I've always been artistic. I feel that those who ride stock bikes must be autistic. So what I'm trying to say is; "Ride choppers or FUCK OFF"

Jesus lucky I didnt show up on me japa sports bike......narrow minded knuckle head neanderthals springs to mind... maybe I'll catch the bus...is that kosher if I wear my harley tshirt

haha! nice..


well Im off to auckland tomorrow, got somewhere to stay in te awamutu so I'll take a look around the show tomorrow when I get up there. Maybe see you guys around

Woops looks like I've upset the Bag Lady.

Have a good trip Wilco, Hey and don't forget to take your camera.

nah...it just amuses me. Ride past the same dude on the harley and he waves out..go past on me ninja and he scowls.....really WTF....

Whats wrong wif my bags?.....now that is getting close to the bone

Not another gay conversation about makes of bike please. I have spent a very pleasant evening drinking beers with people with all sorts of bikes. I ride a Harley most of the time and people with new barleys refuse to wave back. Nothing to do with bikes. They're just boring people. Lots of cool old home built bikes there tonight but one of the nicest bikes was a young guy on a very tastefully done brand new Sportster with less than 1000 km on it. Good people are good people. All bikes are cool in some way. At least they are bikes. Had a great conversation with a guy on a Big Bear chopper. He loves his bike and is building another long bike. Arlington Doug is now officially a rock star in Auckland and Jody deserves his own tv show.
Irish out.

We'll be there tomorrow with the vintage bikes. Look forward to catching up.

I think when you jump to the quick 3-4 insult lines thats when cunts get fucking pissed.
Anyways i reckon we owe jon some cred for putting grinderfest on.
Its got some good vibes there.

As you said jon who invited the store bought chops hahahaha, na its cool.


Went to apply some stickers to my bike today while they were takin photos of the bikes wheeling them round, which is nice, hopefully we'll be getting some photos of them at the end. That'd be nice.
Was nice to see them drop someones bike and act like nothing happened though. Whoops

So now i cant stop thinking about how easy my bike tips over haha

Was it one of mine

oh dear.... winding handle back in tool box...relax it ll all be ok
