This show seems to be on a downward path, more people trying to sell you products than bikes being exibited, clubs not making the most of their presentation and every hall all bunched up, at times I think health and safety should have been addressed especialy after the rain came on people just hung around the exits eating food and causing congestion, thats my rant over its a shame after some realy good years.
Jay Jay and I looked in on the MAG stall hoping to meet up with Doc ( Twisted Patience) his pals said they thought he might be home rocking the baby.
Tony thought this first photo might have some connection with you Mr Oily Bike?

Not guilty on the oilyragclothing thing m'lud!

As for the Sprint bike on the NSA stand plinth, don't know I'm afraid, maybe Dsalm might know.

Bikes in living rooms, not uncommon...... or is it just the crowd I know ??  Roll Eyes

I'm glad someone knew about the Suzuki. I hadn't a scooby. I've seen the Triumph somewhere but I can't place it.
I used to have bikes in the front room too. SWMBO is not keen. I have managed to get this in the front room though Grin
Just have to sneak in a frame, some wheels and a blower and we are there!!

mmm 650 Triumph pre-units.........

I used a Norton Laydown box on my 650 Methanol Triumph Sprint/dragbike a few years ago.

There's a photo of me somewhere with it apart on the pavement during the Speed Trials at Brighton one year ! oops!  Roll Eyes


Here's a 1964 pic before it was fitted in the frame (way before I got the bike in '97)

Young Master Dslam's right.

The bike was built (not by me) for some of the Dragfests in the early 1960's.
The barrels were the Wellworthy Alfins, and then head was shaved to make it 'round' to match the barrels, which must have had a lot of folk wondering what it was.


Couple of threads that I found that may be of interst:
