    "The bike has quite a heritage, it was brought to New Zealand by Les Moore, father of the great Ronnie Moore, and ridden by Ronnie as a teenager until it was to slow for him. Dad had a passion for Rudge 's as he had a lot of success on them in England, road racing.
    Road racing carried on in the family with his grandson Kerry Bates."
