This is the jumble that used to be at Badshot Lea near Farnham/Aldershot, organised by the Hampshire section of the VJMC (Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club).

Flyer says: £5 for pitches, £2 for entry. 8am to 2pm, bikes and motorcycle parts only (and from what I remember the other year, there were a few bit of British stuff too). Onsite toilets and caterers. All profits to charity.

I was planning on doing the Dorking bike jumble that day but might be tempted here instead by the prospect of XS650 parts.

Chevy Rick and I usually do both.  You will just have to get to Dorking earlier, like when the cockerel crows.  ;)

On a Sunday?! I don't think so!

 :D I can believe that of you Andy, in the past when we have been returning from Dorking jumble and gone past where you used to live with Taz, I could see the curtains tremble where you were snoring
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

 ;D ;D ;D

 ;D I have no trouble getting up for work every day, but when I know it's a day off I could easily sleep till lunchtime. Mind you, you get to shows before the marshals do Rick!  :D

Just a reminder...........  ;)

Thanks. Going to pop in for look around tomorrow.

Didn't see you Mark -or rather, didn't know what you look like. Did see Tony Oily Bike, Terry T & Muffin though.
A lovely warm Spring morning & lots of stalls to peruse. I came away with about 60 quid's worth of XS650 Yamaha parts, some of which I then bartered with Tom & some I sold to Lunatic. Recycling at it's best. A nice morning's foraging.

As you said Andy. it was a nice sunny day. seven of us rode up from cosham to this. wasn't over crowded but a lot on offer
only saw you mate did you find a cap for that tank? saw muffins trike in the car park.

where are B S, Bright Stone bikes manufactured ? I saw 3 here looks like a 2 stroke twin. you took a photo of them Andy post 15

Looks like I missed a good one although to be honest I was only going for a bit of a nose around.

No idea where the Brightstones come from or if they're genuine vintage or repro. Quite nice looking bikes though.
Yup, I gave a fiver for the tank, (possibly early 100cc Suzuki), & 5 or 6 for a brand new old stock Honda cap, still in it's bag, to fit it. Loony bought it off me for his longterm XS650 project.
Mr Oily Bike was trading -how'd you get on Tony?

Me thinks you mean Bridgestone..............

In addition to the more familiar tire manufacturing nowadays, the company produced bicycles beginning in 1946,  powered bicycles beginning in 1949, and motorbikes from 1958 through 1971.  This grew out of an automotive part trading company in Japan run by Soichiro Ishibashi, the company name being taken from a literal translation of his name in English -- Ishi - stone, Bashi - bridge.

Trading seemed slow, others thought the same too, but then I had some British stuff that needed a new home as well as a couple of Japanese bits.

My mate Rob sold the red 750 Honda in one of your pics along with quite a few N.O.S. spares, so he was fairly well pleased, but he started with his van packed to the rafters, and it looked just about as full after!

that's the name ;D should have wrote it down  ::)

Used to be a bloke in our club had a Bridgestone 100cc stroker with a disc valve.  - name an un usual bike, he'd had one!

They did a range which included a 350,Back in the day there was a guy who lived near me had one.
