Mods and Rockers Ride -28 August 2010
 
 
 
This ride was organized by local the Triumph shop “Street and Sport”. The idea was for it to be open to all British Bikes Pre 1980 but including all new Bonneville machines from 2001 onwards (including America and Speedmaster) and open to all scooters except Japanese automatics.
The short notice meant the turn out wasn’t going to be as big as last year but a nice warm spring Saturday afternoon saw a bunch of us riding out to the Tai Tapu pub, then onto the Wheatsheaf Pub, around the harbour, thru Sumner and on to Brighton Beach for a Photo shoot.

Thanks to Toby and his flash iphone app for the images

 
Mad As a March Hare - West Coast ride: 5 - 7 March 2010
 
 
 
The three day trip stuck this year’s fine days down the West Coast (great planning Toby!) apart from a brief spell of rain from Jacksons to Hokitika it was fine, dry corners all the way around that brilliant southern loop through some of the best scenery in the world. Nice to have a few out of towners to join us as well.
If you weren’t there you missed a good one, enjoy the photos and make sure you are there for the next ride.

Fun and Games were had in the alley behind the shop with the Mods winning the shield, we then led a ride through town, out to New Brighton and then back to Poplar Lane for a well earned ale or two. Big thanks to all those who organized, ran, and participated in this new highlight to the Christchurch Two Wheeled calendar.

Summit Rd out to Diamond Harbour: September 08
     
 
Another great Canterbury spring day saw a good turn out. There was still a bit of grit on the summit road, but the weather and the views more than made up for it. We went down Gebes pass and around the bays to Godley House for a beer in the sun. Then a great run back around to Lyttleton for a fine cuppa coffee to finish off the afternoon.
