MOTORCYCLE REPORT
The sun is now in the southern hemisphere, and the spring equinox has passed. Daylight saving is upon us; looking good for a great summer of motorcycling!! Past Events 8th September – Motorcycle Noggin. This was straight after the committee meeting at 6.30 pm, so a very good turnout in The Barn. Cool night, so the blazing fire was welcoming. 19th September – Reliability Trial Event. This was held in conjunction with the OCBC coffee morning, and it turned out to be a resounding success. The Classic Trials Club of Canterbury came out as well, and they put on some display of REALLY CONTROLLED trials riding over logs, heaps of pallets etc. The reliability trial had about 30 entries, including a wee lad of 5 years old who was on an electric trials bike. Boy could he handle it too!! Two courses, two runs each, the trick was to on your second run emulate the time you took for the first… Not as easy as it sounds… 25th September – Fish & Chip Run This was supposed to be a run to the Hororata Swap Meet, but as this was postponed (Covid again!!) was just a normal event. About 5 turned up, I heard… 26th September – Working Bee @ Motorcycle Corner. A good turnout, about 8 or 10, I heard. Stacked wood, water blasted the back window, cleaned out the spouting, checked and plugged holes in the roof. Good job, well done. 19
