So last weekend was the Magnetos Scooter Club annual Ride.
It was great, 60 + Scooters went for a cruise through the streets of Auckland, ending up with a BBQ at the beach.

Wow, Tells you how much I know. Very modern looking city. I even spotted a Burger King! When I think of New Zealand I keep thinking sheep and Hobbits. I need to travel more. NZ should be my first stop. Got anymore pics?

Sheep & Hobbits
You're quite right about NZ but it turns out that sheep and Hobbits just LOVE their Burger King.

Oh, we have a lot of sheep too. and even one or two more BKs and assorted other crappy food outlets.

Did you know that the first McDonalds in the world to close down due to lack of sales was in Auckland NZ. Also the 2nd ever I beleive.

Ever since we got electricty things have been just great here, really helps for cooking those sheeps..

I'm looking out the window at the dark, cold and wet night. The weather forecast has just said that there's snow on the way this weekend and you're talking about rideouts and beach barbecue's. You would be correct in thinking that I'm jealous.
Looks like a good day out. Thanks for posting the pics.

Plenty of sunlight to share today! The red bike is a DMW Deemster. early '60s English 250. Very rare and in very good condition.
