Welcome

THE PLAN so far:

We're picking up a magnificent Honda Goldwing from Hampton Honda (20 Carmen Road Christchurch Ph 03-3498968) on Tuesday and heading South for the annual Burt Munro Challenge in Invercargill.

This year the Challenge kicks off with the NZ Longtrack Grand Prix on Wednesday afternoon at Ascot Park. Followed by the Hill Climb on Thursday, Beach Racing on Friday, Circuit Races on Saturday at Teretonga Park Raceway with a Speedway meeting at Oreti Park immediately afterwards. The racing is rounded off with Street Racing in Wyndham on Sunday.

The Magnificent Goldwing. Co-pilot 'doesn't like to admit it'
but she's 'looking forward to the luxury.'

It's now the biggest event in Southland and on the Bike calendar with thousands of motorcyclists coming from all over the globe to celebrate the Life and Times of Munro, B.

We'll be following up with a Photo Tour of Southland, Southern and Central Otago, before heading back to Christchurch.

This year we have invested in better broadcasting equipment, better audio and publishing hardware. We have our Nikon D90, a Go Pro Hero for onboard images, and a full 1080 HD camcorder packed to capture all the action. We'll post mainly photos and web res video every opportunity we get and file daily results reports where possible.

We'll upload the HD footage soon after we return to base.

We can't wait to get under way. Here's our test from KIWIRIDER on our last 'Wing opportunity.

Leave us a message on the blog if you'd like a look or a run-down on the bike. They are quite spectacular machines.

Here's a library of shots from our coverage from previous events:



See you on the road!
