a huge day yesterday, the bike was booked in for certification for a new vin tag and registration! I’m pleased to say that after six years(i bought this project several months before my wife died), the road rocket is registered and has its warrent of fitness, so back on the road (last registered in 1963) and 70 years after its manufacture 🥳 still some fettling and shake down, but lovely to see it come back to life

So it’s going to the Waimate National rally in March?  (unfortunately, I cannot go)

Well done mate.  After all that's happened, it's good to hear.

yes am planning to ride it from auckland to Waimate in mid march, the route down planned is around 1700km, so a round trip around 3000km. so far have interest from two super rockets, two oif thunderbolts and a goldie in riding with my road rocket over two weeks, nothing ventured nothing gained! will be an adventure 😁
