Invercargill's streets have come alive once again with the hum of bikes for the Burt Munro Challenge.
After being cancelled last year because of the Covid-19 pandemic, one of the region's most popular events was back on track with Southland Honda Track Day yesterday kicking off the five-day festival.
And even the — very — wet weather in the region did not dampen the spirits of motorbike riders. Great South event manager Karen Whitham joked the rain in Southland was kind of a tradition for the event.
