@PhilG I have had a quick look around Holland/Denmark etc and there are a few about I do not want a nut and bolt concourse a one with sensible mods will fit the bill fine.
Dealing with the US is not an option I want to go down as I would have to go over there to have a look and I do not fancy that.
Early days just yet I will find the right one but the old A10 chair at Newark caught my eye all I need is a passenger any offers? And as you are younger than me I should be the rider LOL

 

[PhilG]

i have a few mates in Germany, but everything there is silly money... and i will pass thanks.

Any offroad stuff at Newark?

Buy a Massey Ferguson tractor instead, same gearbox!

And same performance

 

[Steve and Denise]

Yes some nice off road stuff all very heavy makes you wonder how they got them around the track Triumph 500 twin B40s and some AJs dot Greeves ah the good old days

 

[PhilG]

too old for me, im after 80's and 90's stuff. We have the Telford Classic Offroad show next month to get giddy at , not hopeful of finding much though.

Thanks Judy, went to Newark Classic today not much cop to be honest a lot of scooters the next biggest display was the BSA GOLD STAR owners club well they had a captive audience to bore to death about their priestinge orniments and how much they were worth, well to them anyway.
Did any one fancy the x75 for a mere 30k or the MH900 @30k but to be fair I did ask how many lira to the £ the bloke was from Yorkshire so he did not share my sense of humour

I was there too., first time I've been. I agree with your comments, I don't think it's a patch on the Stafford show. I enjoy looking round the stalls but so much of the stuff on display can be bought on ebay for the same money or less and you don't have to cart it around. The Goldies were nice though.

 

[Steve and Denise]

Yes Stafford is 10x the show. Infact the Newark auto jumble is better than the classic lots more to look at.

This winters project.
This rusty hulk is the worst it will be, from now on it can only get better

I spent a while chucking one those at the scenery of UK's best circuits

It was also my road bike one winter

 

[Steve and Denise]

It is nice to see some of the Jap stuff coming in to its own I suppose it is far superiour to a lot of British stuff most of which was made on ex MOD worn out machines and tooling but still nice to play with.

Alot did - they were a brilliant and cheap way to go racing. I used to love watching the LC nutters take the hairpin at Cadwell . Carnage most ever lap - Brilliant.

I was racing a TZ350 at that time.

The Pro Am series was great racing

 

[PhilG]

Pro-Am was great , but the Pro's didnt like getting their arses kicked.. was fun seeing them bring it back for the MotoGP weekend.. i used to ride MX in winter with a load of proddy guys, all batshit crazy.. no fear at all.

 

[Steve and Denise]

Those LCs were out of the box racers got a lot of guys in to racing for not a lot of money can any one remember the cost of a new one?

 

[PhilG]
