"upload picture" but my friend was shooting in RAW, and that seems to be a problem.

Well, until you get your photo issues sorted out, here's a shot of the Britten, one of the most beautiful and best performing motorcycles ever built. Gotta love those blue exhaust headers.
I'm wondering though -- what is Burt Munro's connection to the Britten? Other than Munro and John Britten being perhaps New Zealand's two most famous motorcyclists?
Your friend will need to convert his raw files. I convert mine to .tif for post processing and archiving, and then to .jpg for posting on the 'net.

Anyone ever wonder what became of Andrew Stroud, the rider who helped make the Britten a legend?
I remember him as a SBK privateer after riding the Britten on a Kawasaki that lacked the fast bits and him as one of the also ran riders, now still racing in the NZ series these days and a rider to be respected in the local series. |

A bit off track but Ivan Mauger was a great NZ speedway racer in the 70s (by memory  )On those speedway motorcycles.

Burt has/had no connection with Britten, but the bike was brought south for the Burt Munro motor-cycle festival in and around Invercargill - hill-climb, beach racing, sprint, drag, speedway and round the houses road racing.
Andrew Stroud works for Honda, and he rode the Britten in its demo ruins here.
NZ has produced some great dirt-track riders. As well as Ivan Mauger, there were Ronnie Moore and Ron Johnston (Bellevue.

Thanks for that series, Big Dawg -- probably the nicest set of photos of a Britten I've ever seen. You don't happen to have a full profile of the right side of the bike, do you? Like the one I posted, which I believe is also from Barber's?
