After
the Off Road Bike Show
As
usual there is always some interesting stuff at the show and this one
was no exception. There were all manner of scrambles and trials
machines including this brace of Ariels that Sammy Miller could well
have ridden. There was this EMC with a Puch split single two stroke
engine, these Cottons, the scrambler in front of one of the three
production racers.Remember the Cotton racer we have at the Museum. It appears to have closer finning than the Villiers Starmaker scrambler engine seen here. There was a DOT with an RCA engine and an array of Italian racing machines. I just love those Guzzi big singles.
It
was a bit frost on the Saturday so I went off to Kempton in the car.
It was cold at the show so when I got home I needed a good mug of
strong Assam tea fortified with a slug of brandy. I have this feeling
that I'm getting a bit more like Guy Martin with his need for tea.
Now Sunday was just as frosty as I ventured out on the Kawasaki for
the Wey Valley Advanced Motorcycle Observed Sessions.
My turn to be on the shop. We were and still are clearing old stock as
freebies with a request for donations to this years charity. The
excess muffs, old biros (some work), key fobs, lanyards and side
stand plates or mud buddies need to be shifted. I did take some away
to be passed on at the Museum.
More
fun this Monday with part three being filmed by the Missenden Flyer
about the other things in the Museum.
Part
one.
Part
two.
Part
three.
Some cracking vlogs to watch.
