Taz & I live a mile or so from Newlands Corner near Guildford in Surrey. It's a local beauty spot that's a favourite with bikers, classic car drivers etc. Always busy on sunny Sunday mornings. I call in once in a while just to see what's about.
This morning there was this gorgeous 750 Triumph Bonny with enormous "dustbin" fairing, clip-on bars & rear-set pegs.

Not sure -Riley perhaps?
As I'm sat here, there's an almost constant procession of vintage bikes & cars trundling past the front of the cottage. Amazing what a bit of sunshine brings out.

Ah ha...... Today's the Federation of British Historic Vehicles (FBHM) Drive it Day, the idea that folk with 'Historic' vehicles take them for a drive. Brooklands was one of the local venues that was taking part, which isn't far away, so some may have been going there. http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=10541.0 Here are a few more pics from Newlands Corner. Dslam and I rode up there and I guess we only just missed Manky as some of the bikes he snapped were still there. I managed to borrow a relatively new 61 year old BSA B31, and was 'wing man' to Dslam who piloted an 87 year old Raleigh. Photo showing the bikes we rode with a gathering of folk shooting the breeze................ |

There's nowt as light as a hole, so add lightness.
Our lady of blessed acceleration, don't fail me now! - Elwood Blues
Nitro doesn't add power, it multiplies it! Bob Loux, running 10.07 secs @138mph on a 650 normally aspirated Triumph drag bike in 1965!
