Close to 5000 people got their motorbike fix at the Whakatu Rotary Club's second Pro Rider New Zealand National Motorcycle Show at Founders Park yesterday.

The biggest drawcard was the Britten Motorcycle exhibition and the reunion of John Britten's crew, many of whom were together for the first time in 15 years.

Many local motorcycle clubs put together displays.

The Nelson Motorcycle Club won $1000 for the best club display for their dirt track effort.

Money was raised for St John Ambulance and local community projects, and Rotary is hoping to extend the show to a two-day event in the future.

Nelson Mail photographer Patrick Hamilton went to the event. These photos and others are available from Nelson Mail offices.
