Praps we should plan a ride to Phillip Island.
Or Pukekohe kickaamoocow.
Two spare rooms here if any one wants a hoiday by the sea.
Plenty of bears in the frudge.
Possum, bring me back a Fast back and a 650ss.
Thanks AC.
 
Oooh, did Phlip Island last year, never been so wet and cold! Brisbane is just right this time of year, although California sounds pretty good.
 
really wanted to do Phillip island Gp but wifeey couldn't get time off.

ah the kiwi accent ! i remember back in the start of the 80´s when living in oz ringing up and applying for a welding job .the bloke who answered the phone asked and i quote " fuckin kiwi are ya ?" and hung up on me !!! such is life ! that was also back in the days of jokes like ,what do you call a kiwi in a suit ? the defendent !

say no more :roll: 8)
 
Yeah well I'm married to one, bloody amazing, when Australia wins the Netball she's Australian, when New Zealand wins she's a Kiwi.
I never win.
I do like going over though, love to do it on a bike.
My first two Commandos were Fastbacks. 69 and 71. Now I want a 72 or a Proddy racer. And the 650ss.
Greedy bastard, want want want.
AC.
 
So far you not found one event in SoCal but you do have your next holiday lined up. :mrgreen:
 
whereabouts in California specifically?? could help with stuff in the northern part
 
Possm, It looks like to have to consult your Norton mate in Hong Kong for any information! There are a lot of classic car related events going on in and around the Monterey Peninsula during this period, including the well known Pebble Beach Concourse D'Elegance. This event now has a good vintage motorcycle section of about 30 or 40 bikes, as well as bikes on display in various of the vendors tents dotted around the general area within walking distance of the main event - last year there was a whole marquee of classic bikes for sale and half a dozen Broughs on display in another area. There is a Hot Rod night every Thursday at The Baja Cantina in Valley Greens Drive, Carmel Valley. They often get a few custom bikes there as well as the usual hotrods. It starts at about 5.30 and it's all over by about 8.00, although food and music go on at the cantina until late. Great food and a good friendly atmosphere. I should be there myself as of next week - the last one there's a sissy!

California Trip for the Kiwi

I don't know if you are flying back out of SF or leaving from LA. Either way this trip works.

Holiday


This takes from from SF to Yosemite, down to Death Valley, Las Vegas, Zion, North side of Grand Canyon, South side of Grand Canyon and back into LA. It's a good day trip up to Solvang (be sure to call ahead to the museum, especially if it's not a weekend!!!).

Be aware that this is around 1500 miles. Which is farther than it is from Sydney to Christchurch (if you could drive that without getting wet). Get a big car. And stay right.

Bloody shame some guy from Oregon has to suggest this route with all the f'n Californians on the forum. :roll:
 
Don't miss Monument Valley, Arches national park, Bryce canyon and the ride from LA to SF by the coast.

Bryce is nice but I didn't know how much time he had. And I didn't know if he was flying back out from SF.
