    Bruce Anstey to parade Kiwi superbike at Classic TT

    The TT is coming closer, May 25.
    I'm sure our Kwis know something about this bike:

    This is a site Johnny Drummond turned me onto, last 2 years:

    Oh, man! This would be incredibly cool to see!

    I really, really want to go see the IOM TT one of these years.

      It would be great to see and hear a Britten on person.

            Kevin Grant is pretty generous with that bike. Antspee will probably enjoy it at parade speed.

            KiwiCanuck - hmm, I thought I knew all the Britten riders, could that be really good photoshop work.....Body looks like Jason MacEwen....

            Last I heard the one in Te Papa probably isn't a runner. It may have been when they got it - although put together from used bits - but it's doubtful now.

                Yeah, That's the $10.00 photo shop job right from Te Papa, that picture was from about 2000 or 2001. I couldn't resist.

                  Next time I run into Jason, I'll tell him he's being used...and probably others too I'd imagine.

                  Knowing Jason he'll probably have a go at TePapa for royalties....

                  I've never been in and looked at the display - Wellington is a place to pass through these days.
