Hi guys and gals,

New Zealand is hosting the World Association of Triumph Owners Group Rally an hour and a half from home.

Meet from left to right Phar2slo @Mikethepie for the first time. @Tal @sleeves. Was good to catch up with sleeves. Then later in the day a Rocket trike arrived

My Tal's and Mikes bike in the Triple section of the bike show but no prizes for us.
 
@sonny all up must have been at least 11 Rockets at the event.

We even got to go meet a few owners from the UK but due to cost of shipping did not bring them over but other Triumphs to ride around NZ.
 
A few more pics, site was missing 2 R3's as we were running our old Bonnies down (mainly as some form of bizarre punishment), good to catch up with you guys @phar2slo @Tal @Mikethepie . Didnt see you guys head off but was pretty distracted with things going on.

A guy from the UK with a Bonneville T140D he's owned from new he brought over said it was the best rally he'd ever been to and we are really lucky to have places like this (he then mentioned Skegness...)


S'all right Chris I didn't get a prize for this minter either and guy in top pic was the judge....
 
R3T at start of post is owned by my good friend of 20 years, Al, whose only got one leg, he lost his leg a few years back on his first R3 when a car T-boned him while he was on the footpath outside a friends house, severed his leg and threw the R3 through the back window of a Mk3 Zephyr. Now back on an R3 after his Thunderbird was written off from another T bone accident by a red light runner, luckily the "same" leg was severed.

He now needs the R3T for the heal toe shifter.
