Some of what has been going on in this forum recently has really upset me and consequently I haven't been responding to some of the posts when perhaps I should have. Recent talks with one or two of the AMCA fathers has convinced me to ignore the comments that upset me and to just enjoy the good things the club has to offer.
When the seven of us came to America in 2003 and rode vintage Harleys from Vancouver to Milwaukee we extended an invitation to U.S. members to ride along with us for a day or two but no one chose to join us so maybe after all the grizzling thats been going on with regard to collectors locking away bikes and you guys having no events to ride in some of you may consider the offer I am making here.
February 2007 Christchurch, New Zealand.
The National Veteran and Vintage Motorcycle Rally.
For this event I am prepared to supply 1 Veteran Harley and 3 Vintage Harleys for American AMCA members to ride to and from and in the event. You would need about 3 weeks in N.Z. and would ride about 2500 miles in both the North and South Islands.
Two of the bikes are outfits so are suitable for couples. We would run a back-up van for luggage etc. and I would personally guide the tour. I'll supply the bikes free of charge but if you wreck them you pay the cost of repairs. Please be honest about your riding ability on these type of machines as you will also have to cope with riding on the left hand side of the road as well.
I need some serious commitment before February 2006 so I have enough time to put a package together with regard to costs for accommodation, insurance,rally entry, etc, etc.
I'm prepared to do the donkey work on this side of the ditch so it's now up to you out there to respond and I'll guarantee us Kiwis will give you some riding you'll never forget. No trailering bikes to meets here in N.Z. RIDE EM DON'T HIDE EM.
Those seriously interested please e-mail me at;

A Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all.
Regards, Tommo.
