A perfect boxing day

Well for those who don't know in New Zealand Christmas dinner is often a BBQ on the beach.

Boxing Day is however reserved for the Wanganui Street Races. (http://www.cemeterycircuit.co.nz/)

So as always I set off in the gloom and rain (This time on my Triumph Trophy) for Wanganui.

The weather cleared and there were only a couple of light showers during the days racing.

Highlight for me was seeing Guy Martin out there having fun on an old Manx Norton (500 single)

Not being a photographic genius most of my photo's seem to include my finger...

Managed to get one good shot of a very tidy old Kawasaki KH500 triple sitting in the Pits.

How many of you remember it's big brother? The widowmaker, the H2 750 Triple.

And in the UK where Boxing Day has included
Fog, Rain, Hi winds, and Floods,
we are not at all jealous !    

Seasons Greetings !

Well the weather came right 10 miles north of home.

Oh, I am so green with envy.

I spent today raking snow off my roofs so the garage will not collapse on the Trophy...

Oh to live in a civilized country that celebrates boxing day
