Wandered out to the Auckland motorcycle club champs at Pukekohe yesterday.

Had no idea I would spot one of these:



It was doing all right too - ran away with (what looked like) Thunder class and podium-ed on the other races I watched.



So in between races I went and said g'day to Gordon and got the skinny on the bike - and a pic of me on board etc etc.

Then went and took the snaps I was mainly out there to get - my mate Brian on his 'Postie' Bike.





But there was trouble afoot.



Shook 3 screws out of the primary cover and was a non starter for the last 2 races. Every other machine and crew were all metric. no chance of a replacement....unless...



At first I wasn't sure about 'borrowing' them off the Press bike - not being mine and all that - but then my brain kicked in with a large DUUUUHHHHHH!

Of course that is what any Bueller would do. Should do.



And it went back out and kicked.





I've got some video of it too.

youtube it presently.

>>Like the Postie Kwak. <<

Full noise too - lightened crank, the business.

Something let go while he was leading on the 3rd lap unfortunately.

Price you pay for the full noise I guess.
Would have been a quiet drive home.
