Back to the Future!

This is the 2007 Taupō Day Night Thriller — a flashback to a time when the bikes and the gear were different, but the racing, the adventure and the good times were the same.

But here’s the question…

Who can you spot in this 2007 video? 👀

Is that you? A mate? Someone you haven’t seen on a bike in years? Or maybe you’re watching history in the making before you even had a bike of your own!

Tag someone you recognise, share it with your old riding crew and let’s see how many familiar faces we can uncover.

And then it’s time to bring the next generation into the story by entering the 2026 BFA Taupō Day Night Thriller! Who’s joining us for the next chapter?
