Never seen before.. by maggiemae

Never seen before..

On a drive around the Rally Site in invercargill we stopped to have a chat to a more senior biker and he pulled out a photo to show us of a relative of his with Burt Munro in his shed! Burt loved the ladies and he's obviously giving her a good cuddle! This would be in the early '60's.
Thankful for;
The rain stayed off for today.
Great memory!

Wow how great to see that...he can certainly pick them! I can see the glint in his eyes! Great to be shown that photo.

@happypat Never heard his story before and he's one with a real story! Its amazing how many people say they either rode with him or knew him ..and they are too young to have done that!

What a fabulous photo of him! It’s interesting to see how much John looks like him.

@grammyn Burt never seemed to need glasses. Was a bit deaf though!

Well, I feel like a dolt because I don't know who Burt Munro is/was. I'll look him up. Regardless, what a great memento.
