125 North Street

Living at 125 North Street in Feilding. I must have been very young but I distinctly remember a large bike coming round. It had a tank rack and, for years afterward, I imagined that it must be where people sat.

In my memory it was something like a TR5 or Bonneville.

I don’t know how many times it came around but it wasn’t often, maybe only once. I remember the longing of wanting to see it again.

I must have been between 2 and 5. I was definitely pre-school.
