Petrol Costs



Due to price increases in New Zealand.
We can't afford to drive any vehicles on the road.
So we here have come up with a few ideas.
We have recycled everything to make transport.
From our North Island cousins who invented a new type of scooter.
This Village way out in the sticks North Auckland, said that the run down to the Supermarket was really quick.
But coming home with the groceries was really, really bad.
They are now working on their next project for the 2008 model which has a vine attached to some pieces of wood for brakes, but are looking for a village idiot to test them.

Then we have the Nike bike, these pump style of shoes fitted give you the best ride.
Bike can be taken anywhere, even on those New Zealand all famous bush walks.
These bikes are even made for children as well.
For kids we have a size 5-7
For Adults we have a size 8-12

The Bad Butcher's Favourite Bikes At The Show











The Bad Butcher took his camera to the Show and had taken his own pictures.
I didn't want his dribble all over my camera.
The Butcher has eyes for the Ducati's and had to keep him locked up in his cage.
He might have hot wired one and never be seen again, but no worry just follow the road of dribble.
Most Motorcycle dealers don't take $10 deposits and decided to just give him some pictures to calm him down.
Butcher if you ask Santa nicely he might send you one for Christmas.
Then again might be back to the scooter idea.

Masterton Street Racing Gallery















In the old days of the Box Brownie camera, was when these photo's were taken.
Had to tell the riders to stay still while I drew the pictures in with colour pencil's.
When I use to live there was the best.
Sitting outside of my mates flat and watching the racing from his front door step.
One of the bikes is a well know Masterton rider and one of New Zealand's best.
Aaron Slight on the Yamaha FZR with his special 111 race plate.
The days of old when big boys didn't cry if they fell off, grazed their knuckles or knees.
Plus, mummy didn't come out and tell them to stop the racing her little boy had taken a tumble.
When the cops couldn't give you a ticket for speeding.
The days of old was that you could wear a peanut on your head and nobody would notice.

2007 Nelson Motorcycle Rally






2007 November 2,3,4.
The local New Zealand loonies came out and played, parents lock up your daughters.
Good fun was what it was about with Live Bands, Bike show, Tattoo Show, Wet T-shirt and yes can't forget the Strippers.
Bikers from all walks of life are getting more and more into the Rally's.
Nelson put on a good show,But some poor mother had this child and wished to return him to the wild.
The best part was getting woken up by the sound of the Motorcycle alarm clock at early hours of the morning, with the roar of Harley engines and odd ping in the background of the 2 smoke.
Hundreds of bikes soon make the ground shake.
Nelson Road Touring Club put on a great event.
Join in the fun on the next one:
2008 Nelson Motorcycle Touring Club, 5th Anniversary.Maitai Valley Motor Camp-October 31-November 2 2008.
Please Bikes only.
Might go if I know how to pick my home detention bracelet off.
