Great, great line up.

I must admit I can sit in my pre-cast concrete garage of an evening sipping a scotch and looking about me at some of the fleet, and reflect that never mind some of the rubbish aspects of modern life - my 17 year old self would be pleased as punch to see them, and all in my name.

I'm flying out to Morocco this afternoon for a week of off road riding - on Yamahas I think, if only I'd had the money to do that when I was younger. If only ...

I've waded past authentication statements, a declaration witnessed by a JP and now have all the paperwork with NZTA which is likely to consume November  *doh*.
The bike has definitely not been ridden round the block a number of times nor called in at the petrol station to refuel as that would be very naughty  *whistle*
Legal for December is the plan  *pull hair out*

Lets hope so  :P
Also hoping to start moving my stuff to the new shed from this weekend.
There was a big mix up somehow the new house ended up being bigger than the shed which is only 69m2  *sad2*.

Hi Tim,

if you are not in a hurry I can help you *smile*

Sorry, we are missing the Rods of Burren and coming up to Warkworth around 10. Dez to pick up the Beemer.
So the actual plans I get from Sonya yesterday.

cheers Klaus

The beemers waiting for you  ;) , its not getting much use, so might need to take it for a run.
The pre Christmas weathers been all over the place so count on needing wet weather gear at some point.
Will be good to meet you and Sonya. A bit chaotic here with a house move planned prior to Christmas

well its good to have enough space in the house to pull down one of the A10s in the living room. that shed looks way too small for your fleet

The lounge and dining ranch sliders are flush mounted on the floor so I have certainly considered having something in the house.
One day I plan to do a glass topped side table a bit like the top gear v8 porsche coffee table, but with an A10 engine shell, I have enough spares to mock a '55 thin flange flash motor (swing arm type) .

Have just received one of those cush drive tools from a citroen for the BSA which I posted about else where on the forum, looks good. I'll bring it along to the club night tomorrow
Have also just bought a '57 transitional crank from the US as a spare. I do really like those pre 58 big journal cranks, they are soooo solid. Really smooth.

Yes the garage problem is an infestation of mini's  ;)

Thats sounds great  *smile*
My skin is waterproof, so no chance for the wet weather gear, by carry all the other stuff half around the world.

Let me know, if you need two strong arms by moving bikes to the sheed *grins*

Klaus,
 thanks for the offer  *wink2*, a very good mate who used to race a vincent sidecar (until a very serious race accident that almost killed him ) is lending me his small truck and I'll start shifting stuff fairly soon.

My NZTA paperwork has come back from Wellington, not too shabby given they've recently had a fair bit of damage from the Earthquake, so I'm finally in a position to look at booking it in for its new VIN plate  *woo*

Very close! it got carted down to the big city for its VIN plate and WOF, now just needs registration  *roll*

I'm just checking with NZTA to see if I can possibly retain the old black number plate, but hope to have it fully road legal by the weekend - If NZTA don't get back to me promptly I'll just get a fresh plate rather than wait further.

nearly there... *smile*
have you read this bit 'Re-issuing black and silver ordinary plates' from here: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/licensing-rego/number-plates/
once you've got white ones there's no going back, and the black ones are way cooler
