I caught the dejected hunch of a motorbike beach racer last year at this time - Feb 2023. It was the Burt Munro Challenge and held on Oreti Beach near Invercargill, NZ. He or his bike slid or stopped and he couldn't continue.
About to happen this year next week - hope its going to go better - last year we caught Covid!
Enjoy it this year and stay safe and healthy
