Burt Munro Challenge

[GravelBen]

The Burt Munro challenge was on over the weekend down here, thought I'd go along and shoot some photos of 2-wheeled antics for a change. The whole challenge includes a bunch of events (hillclimb, moto-x, beach race, speedway, circuit and street races) but I only got to the street race. Good fun though, some photos for the secret power rangers among you:



This guy is a legend - one arm, one leg and still racing hard:





Apparently he prefers turning left for some reason...





















Apparently some bikes are more reliable than others:



The rest here if you haven't had enough yet:

Cheers guys Glad I managed to convey a sense of the occasion.

Interesting mix of machinery from 1940s (or earlier, I don't know much about old bikes!) right up to modern superbikes.

I always thought the name seemed slightly ironic.
