Invercargill - Southland

We've got the morning in Invercargill, before flying to Christchurch at midday.  A chance to  explore a Hardware store. 

Not just any hardware store  - D E Hayes & Sons Hammer Hardware – Home of the World’s fastest Indian motorcycle.

Burt Munroe's original 1920 Indian Scout forms the centerpiece of a unique display of over one hundred classic, vintage and modern motorcycles, automobiles, engines, equipment and memorabilia that makes up our Motorworks Collection. From working examples of early vintage machinery, pumps, engines and lathes, our original shop delivery van, a range of classic automobiles and turn of the century motorcycles, to modern racing bikes.

There is a wall with a collection of "parts" that Burt Munroe called "The offerings to the God of Speed".

We had time for a quick bite, and then off to airport to finish our South Island road trip.
