September Classic Club Run to The Post Office

It was great to get out with the Manawatu Classic Motorcycle Club for their monthly ride. The car park at the Bunnythorpe Community Centre was filled with bikes ranging from the 1940s all the way up to a brand-new 2024 model. As the photos show, there was a wide variety of brands, covering a range of engine capacities.

After the meeting and a cup of tea, we set off. The ride was divided into two groups, with a shorter run for the kickstart riders. Our destination was the Post Office Hotel in Pahiatua, which took us over the Saddle Road and around the back of Woodville through Hopelands, covering about 67 km. The weather was warm, with intermittent showers along the way.

Ralph led the charge at the front, while Kiran, on his brand-new Triumph 400, brought up the rear. We arrived at the Post Office Hotel in good time. It was great catching up with the crew over a drink and some food—although while the food was fine, the service was a bit slow!
