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.
