Does anyone know any details on this picture, like where it was taken, and who is sitting on the bike? I found the reference to this photo on landracing.com.

I didn't know that the fairing was made at the works. Maybe I just assumed it was made in NZ.

So the fairing must have been sent to the works from NZ for fitting before the bike was sent to NZ?
