Classic motorbike buffs farewell Pukekohe

The New Zealand Classic Motorcycle Racing Register (NZCMRR) farewelled "Puke" last weekend at their 43rd Classic Festival. The whole New Zealand motorsport community is sad to see this piece of its history go and while Supercars said their goodbyes last year, it was now time for the classic motorbike community. Despite the circumstances, every racer and every spectator was in great spirits. The Waikato Herald went along and captured the vibe.
