NZ Indian Motorcycle Launch

The New Zealand Indian motorcycle launch
Thursday 29th May 2014
Waterfront Bar, Viaduct Basin, Auckland.

I was real stoked to get a VIP invite to this special launch, (thanks Sam!)  pre press, Fantastic night!

Press see it today, which is a run (Friday 30th) from Sky City.

There were celebrity's there, some relevant, some not?

Any way, lets let the pics do the talking, sorry about the quality, food to drink ratio was un-balanced :)

                                 

A good old chat with Tim Shadbolt, renowned Mayor and played in the movie World's Fastest Indian.

Tim Shadbolt is mayor of Invercargill and former mayor of Waitakere City – where he famously towed his concrete mixer behind the mayoral car.

Burt Monroe's son, John (Guest speaker)  

Burt Monroe's Grandson

V8 Supercar racer, Greg Murphy & Superbike rider Andrew Stroud  

Booty, Score 

You may notice from previous blogs i went to the Indian dealership in KL, Malaysia, it will be interesting if the Barrys point road outlet will have the same look and feel, no doubt and hopefully soon.

More Retail

Chicks obviously dig motorcycles

Broken

Sportster smoking out breather, looked into front cyl and somethings been bouncing around and made the piston sad... get it out and have a look, suppose its time for a birthday Aye o'l ironhead...

Separated

Retail Poster

found another one using bikes...

Dirt Project?

Hmmmm just had a thought, buy one or build one?

not many Harley dirt bikes about! looked up on interweb, heaps of uglies, too long, rear shocks vertical not laid down, too low, the list goes on, then i found this guy who built a Harley Sportster for the Baja 1000

i really like it, a bit of me, now this is just a thought.. at the moment!

This is a more recent build using similar ideas on suspension mounting etc

i haven't seen any others on the web that do it for me...

Less Room in the Shed

One of my boys just bought a YZ250F, been out getting it dirty.. having way too much fun...

 its got me thinking about days of old... do i need one!

Son in law came over with his SRAD, we did the chain and sprockets.. 

took ages to find i had a chain rivit tool?!

A Tricycle

Found out side work the other day..

Northland again

Took a few days off work, 2 nights away around northland with Mrs and friends, good weather concidering this time of the year, a nice break. Hmm now planning another South Island Raid!

Birthday for the car

Thought i'd give the car a birthday, lower shocks, 20"wheels, re-covered the front seats in leather (old seats foam & covers stuffed) and a new near legal exhaust 2 1/2 & 3" pipe with flowmaster mufflers..
