MOTORCYCLE REPORT

Autumn – As I write this (ANZAC eve..) it is predicted that the first frost for the year will be tonight…

Wrap up warm!! Winter is really on its way!

Past Events

12th April – Motorcycle Noggin. About 7 or 8 turned up to listen to a presentation by the station officer on the daily goings-on at the fire station. Thanks to the Fire Officer and to Royce for organising.

13th April – Old Codger’s Run. A rather wet and unfriendly day for riding. Only two riders made the trip, they got wet; they had a feed and rode straight back.

15th April – Scooter and Under 250cc Motorcycle Run. Sounds like there was about 18 VCC members plus a couple or so outsiders! Good run from PMH. A good run out into the Selwyn District for the day. See elsewhere for a full report from the organiser.

22nd April – Ride Forever Course. Not too sure if this went head; a week ago there wasn’t enough riders for the course to proceed.

29th April – Fish and Chip Run. The drop dead date for the next Hub is before this event so will be reported on next month.
