Nice :-) I was gonna go on Sunday but was a bit washed out after my party and needed to gather some energy for two days of planning meetings in Wellington.
Found out an interesting fact today...these antibiotics I am on are the same ones they give you if you inhale Anthrax!
I thought they were a bit strong!

Some seriously good bikes there Kees. Nice one!
There used to be quite a few of the old Henderson and Ace four cylinders in the local vintage bike club when I was a kid, regularly ridden on club rallies etc. But havent seen one in decades. Maybe this is where they all went?

The headlamp nacelle, seat and rear fender combo, front hub, rear wheel, and swingarm are all magnesium alloy castings, the 1200cc engine was adapted from an NSU car. Quite an engineering triumph. A Kawasaki lime green one turned up regularly at the Isle of Man TT Races for many years.
