We have 13 members traveling to Invercargill to this exciting club event from New Plymouth, Tauranga and Auckland.
A huge thank you to Scott O’Donnell – club member and Director of Richardson Transport World for making this a memorable experience for members with guided tours with him through Bike Mecca, Transport World, and the Race Workshop.
Keep your eye out, we will post photos during the weekend.
RSOC members might be interested in this place and what they offer, basically DIY your own maintenance. There is a mechanic on hand to assist if you need help – they have 5 x 2-post hoists and lots of tools.
For Sunday 28 July I have pre-booked another two bays = 3 bays reserved for RSOC NZ from 12-13 for a social catch up.

An update of the website has commenced.
Under the direction of the Committee a few changes have already been made. More changes are on foot. The intent is to make the site more useful and up-to-date.
Changes include the addition of Gallery and RS Cars pages, the movement of historic posts to a new News Archive page. Work on the RS Cars information will take some time to complete.
If you notice any errors or omissions or have a suggestion for the improvement of the site, please advise the Committee.
Cheers,
Arthur
