Bad night, got up too late - not worth going.  Drat and double-drat!

Well Andy all I can say is when your face down, your nose must be aw-full close to the tarmac, perhaps Tony can throw some light in that direction about these machines???

Andy the first one,THE BISHOP is a TZ350 yamaha,
IT belongs to Trevor Duckworth.
The second one looks like a new build.

Great pics Rick. I know you said the show seems to be fading a bit but I have always enjoyed it because of the effort the clubs go to and the willingness of their members to share their knowledge. Only trouble is, is that many of these members are getting on in years and a lot of their knowledge and memories of past biking escapades will pass with them.

It was a pity I missed it this time but I least I get to see your pics. See, it is worth taking them and posting them on Manky.  8)

At our club night last night some of them were talking about this show - we always used to have a rideout there as it's only about 60 miles, and we were all saying it was odd because it was usually a lovely sunny day and not too cold!  When was the last time we had weather like that in february?

My birthday's at the start of February & it almost always snows. People seem to think Christmas is in the middle of Winter, but it doesn't really kick in till the New Year. The wind's been bitterly cold down here in Hampshire today.
Rick, I always appreciate your photos, so keep posting them mate. I may not know what half the vintage stuff is, but I like it!

Andy the first one,THE BISHOP is a TZ350 yamaha,

Technically they're "Sprint" machines (as opposed to "Drag").

The sprint rules (ACU) have a huge capacity for variation of machine, as can be seen by these.

Tevor Duckworth is an old hand at sprinting. I think his trike was at the VMCC Festival of 1000 bikes in 2012.

We've had the shiny BMW outfit at one of our VMCC Sprints recently.
