You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, it’ll change your life …

Yes the 2012 Red Bull City Scramble was another resounding success.

Run by the Waitemata Motorcycle Club, the irony was that the Waitemata MCC has been running events for nearly 38 years and Sunday was the first time the club had a section of the course actually on the Waitemata.

Club spokesman Tjebbe Bruin said: “to have someone go in the harbour was an added bonus. I would have been gutted if no one went in.”

The second Red Bull City Scramble at Westhaven Marina in central Auckland attracted spectators by the thousands and they baked under a clear, blue sky as Britain’s Graham Jarvis (Husaberg TE 300), expatriate Kiwi Chris Birch (KTM 300 EXC) and another British visitor, Paul Bolton (KTM 300 EXC), hogged the podium at this extreme enduro, the man-made course constructed among the yacht moorings on Auckland’s waterfront.

Of course BikesportNZ.com was there to record the action and we thought we’d share a couple of snapshots from the event … plus a fantastic video from the day …
