BBT is on in Auckland this weekend - I'm working out there - mainly on the Triumph stand, but I drift over to the Buell stand too - which is tre nice.





I found where we keep the nice metallic stickers. Same size and shape as the arai logo!.



I gave one to the girl too. Not much you can do to improve her V12, S600, without involving AMG, but this works.

D-D.
Nice to see Buell so well represented in NZ. With the 1125R on the floor as well. Is this the first time you've seen one in person?

(and a girl with a S600, dude.. you make the bucks!)

Cheers

Yep first time in the flesh. If you look real close you can see where I've been drooling on it.

the road show is H-D Aus's - i've been asking what body parts I have to sell to make them leave it here.

The girl runs the car. Bought, pays for, maintains.

I lost the right to complain when I bought my third motorcycle at the time.

She's amazing. Was a Cardiac Scrub sister when we met - 27 years ago - she moved into management not long after our two kids were born, put herself through 2 university degrees while working and mothering full time. Now Grandma runs 8 hospitals and Rest Homes as COO as well as the last of the V12 interceptors.

She drives it a lot faster than I do too.

Should add that reaction to the 1125 was favourable.
Folks that liked a Road King didn't generally relate, but the sports oriented types were very keen.

I did 20 hours over three days of the show for which Auckland Motorcycles squared my workshop account...for telling folks my opinion of motorcycles and why I happily recommend buying them off Akl Mc.

Unfortunately I only have 20-20 hindsight.
