We are an informal group with a quarterly newsletter, annual national rally alternating between the north and south islands and local area members having both organised and casual rides. In 2019 we will be a major part of Napier’s Art Deco festival and 2020 sees everyone heading down to join in the spectacle that is the Burt Munro Challenge.
