Mark Chapple of Christchurch was taking in the action at Taupo today after travelling up on his new 1999 Buell S3T. Mark (along with Sue and Tarsh) run Exotic Motorcycle Hire in ChCh (03 383 1454, tramor@ihug.co.nz) and have a range of machines available including a Harley, Aprillia, GSXR1100, and (of course) the Buell. They also operate a very popular $10 per day scooter hire service so if you\'re visiting these southern shores look them up.
