Looking for info on my 49 BSA.

I should have done this years ago but never got around to it,

Anyway back in ealy 2003 I purchased the bike from Classic Cycles in Upper Hut, 1949 BSA B31 with 400cc kitted motor, he was selling it on behalf. One day at the top of the Rimutaka hill a guy pulled up in an 60s Valiant or Holden witch was all in primer and I think his name was Terry, he sed it was his bike and he had all the photos and info of the restoration and stuff, I got his number but I lost it. I understand he was from Palmerston north, the rego papers just say (persons unknown unconfirmed) and palmerston north. I would very much like to get in contact.


I talked to a cople other bikers in upper hutt who knew of the bike and sed it was round stokes valley for a very long time, and some racer guy called Graham Stott had something to do with it, I think the engine was used in a race bike and had a goldstar top end at some stage.


The people who could give me names straight off are no longer around

Looking for info on my 49 BSA.

The child in me wont grow up? I blame the bike.

99% of the time I consider myself an intelligent, sensible, responsible and now (unfortunately, thank you bloody Father Time) a mature person. But there lurks a real Chekyll and Hyde aspect to motorcycling. Motorcycles continue to bring out the irresponsible child in me that came out to play way back in 19 bloody seventy something. He refuses to go away. I just can't outgrow him with age? He wont fuck off and grow up. I have asked him too.

I went for a blat this afternoon. It involved riding in a manner likely to annoy certain poofta type people. I did make sure those sorts of people were out of harms way.

Here's the question for today. At my age I should know better. I should be a responsible boring member of society too scared to breach the 19th century speed limit imposed upon us, fully aware that to do so could destroy the very fabric of the universe as we know it. Yet still I love speed. My front wheel refuses to stay on the road, lofting poetically and may I say gracefully, floating through the air like a symphony celebrating euphoria. Today I had evil thoughts of how to disable the ABS as well so I can pull stoppies - so immature. I hear wimps fart off on how wrong it is to get your knee down on public roads. Yet it is such an awesome feeling. Like saying sex is bad, yeah right that holier than thou preaching caught on. I know ever corner I can caress with my knee, feeling it's way through a bend on my favourite roads- it genuinely feels safer! By the way any tips on disabling the ABS on a MT09 welcome. If you know you are a reckless wanker, rot in hell - but first please send a private message on how. Thanks

Seriously though, I am struggling to reconcile why such riding enjoyment can be wrong. Oh yeah, hurt someone and I totally see the point. Time and place is the absolute rule. Never cross the centreline is rule number 2 for me.

Am I alone? At what age do we lose the urge for silly behaviour. Disclaimer time- I have never in 42 years on the road crashed a car, never injured another person, just me and my bike .. lets not count the times. Like my age it's just a number. Alone in a car or bike I speed. Add a passenger, a pedestrian, a horse rider, populated area, anybody in the near vicinity and it's Captain Sensible rocks.

There are people out there that deliberately hurt other people. Intentionally do horrible things to other people. But are we motorcyclists that enjoy the excesses of our machines and appreciate what they can do really that bad. And before you say 'take it to the track' Been there. Done that. Fuck off, I like to enjoy every ride.

Ultimately my excuse is bike manufacturers keep making such kick arse machines I feel it would be rude to ignore their efforts.

The child in me wont grow up? I blame the bike.

North Island Motorcycle Rallies

I have just relocated to Wellington and have been trying to find some motorcycle rallies to attend this year. Google has been remarkably unhelpful! Can someone please give me a website or three that lists North Island rallies. Many thanks in advance.

Hampton Downs storage

I'm thinking of renting a garage at Hampton Downs to store my bike in. But, being poor I can't justify the whole cost of a garage for just one bike.
Solution, buy 5 more bikes to fill it up or find some friends who also want to store bikes at Hampton and split the cost.
Quick call to Hampton tells me a garage is about $400 per month, so if we pop four bikes in there then it's about $100 per bike per month.

Any takers ?
