NZ Speedway Championship?
Please can someone tell me where it is to be held this year & when?
I see Larry Ross at 53 years old has made a comeback?
He used to be favourite of mine at Belle Vue & Halifax in UK!

Dot250
Thanks Dodger if the date is 23or 24 march i will be back home in UK.Dates in NZ are 24 Jan to 11 March.Any big meetings in between these dates would be interesting.
I still have my square barrel Dot trials 250 1964 which won 6 years Yorkshire Classic 2 stroke championship & 5 years Red Rose classic championship.I ride it on the road now with close ratio box & scrambles head & barrel.I had it MOT'd (road certificated )yesterday for a further 12 months pleasure.
We also won the 2stroke class in the 1986 7 Nations trophy the only people to beat me were a Chap called Sammy Miller & julian Wigg,brother of Simon Wigg(speedway rider).

Mine was a 1954 Scrambler , cost 20 quid and was ridden almost to destruction .
Dave Bickers was one of my heros and I fitted the widest bars I could find , just like Dave's .
I must have looked a right pillock .
Wish I'd kept it .
I remember going on a pilgrimage to Sammy Millers shop down south to buy fibreglass and alloy bits for my Bultaco , the great man wasn't home !

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
