Planning a weekend getaway from your job. Well how about competing in the Taupo to Napier Mail Run on the 20th March 2021. Organised by the Hawkes Bay Classic Motorcycle Club they will be celebrating their 32th event. The attractiveness of this event is that it is not a timed competition, just a case more of follow the leader (or the rider in front).

Watsonian would be the longest sidecar manufacturer to date. They have a proud history of over 108 years production, with manufacturing first starting in 1912.

Have a look at what was on offer for 1926 and see what you think. Then revisit us at a later date for a 1930s sales catalogue that we have and see the advancements. This is a very clean copy
