Classic Japanese Bike Show - NZ

[MikeH1A]

Thought I'd post a few pics from the show that my classic bike group has just held. Despite the recent 7.1 earthquake, we decided to go ahead and it went off succesfully. We set up the bikes on Friday night and went home pleased with ourselves - only to have a 4.6 aftershock rumble through at 10.30pm The first thoughts were of a huge domino effect of bike knocking bike etc. Luckily they withstood the shake and nothing moved at all (Where does the manual on bike shows talk about bloody earthquakes ?

The show was small by UK standards, with 85 bikes entered. However, we were impressed with quality and range of bikes we attracted. This was the second show we have organised and it seemed to strike a positive chord with bikers from all walks of life. The proceeds are going to the local ambulance service - we are hoping that will ensure priority service for our members if ever needed The final 6 shots are of the category winners, with the Z1 taking Best In Show.

Great show Steve. Your group is to be commended. It is always gratifying to me when I see these shows from all over the globe, that so many models of our beloved Suzies, are considered iconic bikes, and share a higher percentage of floor space than the size of the manufacturer would suggest. Fourth out of four, and still consistantly on the forefront of developement of the day. It says something about the decision that all of us on this board has made at some point in our lives. Thanks for the great show, Steve. Cheers.
