Passion pays off with two more national titles Ask 25-year classic motorcycle race veteran Colin Tate how much coin he's invested in his passion over the years and he sheepishly says he never counted.
But the rewards are certainly there as the Wanganui rider collected two more national titles at
Manfeild over the weekend.
Tate, who has cared for his beloved British Norton motorcycles since the age of 17, rode his Dominator 750cc to pick up his tenth Open Modified Class series championship for pre-1963 bikes.
On his Norton Manx 500cc, Tate brought home his third 500cc title to add to the kitty.
"To get them both together, I suppose, is pretty good," Tate said in his shed yesterday, beside the original Norton road bike he bought straight out of school.
