RAGLAN DAZE
An epic hard event in its day the Raglan Enduro was akin to the heroics of the modern Romaniacs. Despite the effort required to finish riders would party hard on occasions right through to dawn. Happy daze indeed.
NORTH SHORE DAZEShane Kelly shared this great bunch of vintage dirt riding pics with us. Shane was bred on Auckland's North Shore where dirt bikes were a popular way to get around and weekend fun. The photos give a great flavour of the times including some of the basic transport modes used in those simpler and far less plentiful days.
VINDURO FOR NZ Vinduro has finally made it to NZ with the Waitemata MCC's celebration of the Virgin Swamps Enduro at Riverhead Forest on December 6th. The VSE is celebrates forty years of enduros held in the forest west of Auckland city. The special VSE Vinduro celebration will include a trail ride and scaled down version of the famous VSE enduro.
In the photo: The joy of riding a vintage enduro bike in great Kiwi terrain. It's 1984 and Glen Tasker is full bore in Riverhead Forest in this great pic by Geoff Osborne. So good was this photo that it was chosen as the cover photo in Kiwi Rider's first issue. For more info on Vinduro go to the vinduronz.com site TRIUMPH TR5 TROPHY
