Tour and old thumpers
02/09/25 at 09:51:23
 
Just got back from a 2500 maybe 2700 km tour of NZ's Manawatu and East Coast of the North Island. Went to Vintage Car Club of NZ'S National Motorcycle Rally. Couldn't use Jawa so had to take S40. Took a few photos of old thumpers which I may post later. Saw some classic bike racing and lots of very twisty roads.

My favorite is the 1913 BSA 500cc ( moped ? )
It would look so good in the dining room.    Cool

    Why do people call them thumpers Roll Eyes

CLAUDE RYE LTD.  THE MOTORCYCLE PEOPLE.
FULLHAM ROAD LONDON S.W.6  Grin


I had one of these 52 years ago, now I have another.  It's my dream come true.





The fiberglass panels were not a commercial success, most people threw them away, this one as can be seen still has them.  I used to hate them too, but now I think they look cool, certainly unique.

This one is a 350cc Viper. It has a top speed of about 90 mph and should cruise all day at 60-70 mph. Both the 500cc Venom and the viper look identical, they share the same frame and the bottom end of the engine is the same.
