    This year I didn't take a bike to ride, just my two Kawasaki 175 trail bikes to show, and after two days driving to get there I could hardly walk so riding was out anyway.
    The show was again at the National Museum but with only 180 bikes on display (and nearly as many in the car parks) made for plenty of room. Most of the trophy's were won by big bikes (750cc+) with my two the only ones on display from Tamworth. Sadly no trophy's came home with us (only fair to give some others a go), but we plan to fix that next year when the Nat rally will be held in Tamworth on first weekend of March 2017. (Close enough for some of the Qld'ers to attend.

    I used to own this model 500/4. It was a far better bike than the 750/4 I traded it for.
