Fans hit the track for Burt Munro

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.
