Didn't see you there Andy. Saw loads of other people - too many to mention - and had a brilliant day.

I think Chevy Rick, Alfie and I were among the first in and also among the last to leave. My first visit to Wheels Day that didn't involve  wellies!   Cool

A glorious day, with loads of stalls and an unbelievable number of fantastic vehicles.

It was lovely to look around but also to sit at the back of the pickup and just natter with friends and strangers.

A great event fantastically organised by a fairly small group of people.  They really do a brilliant job and it was so good to see the weather favouring them for a change. The past few years must have been quite disheartening. Well done SSR.

Rick took loads of photos and I am sure he will be loading some up.

Well done SSR excellent event.
I left my 2 dogs at home shame others didnt!

All went well with the big bus but the GMC had 2 accidents!
1st I towed ( dragged the f**king thing ) a Land Rover from outside my storage unit doors and it
didnt stop when i did and smashed the rear tail gate on the truck.
2nd after the incident above I and the truck where over heating and I didnt tie the lock up door back
so a gust of wind blow it smashed the door mirror and creased the passenger door.

All other 1 day shows have got a lot to live up to after Wheels Day 2011

Triumph with specialist USA-made magneto ignition (ARD poss?)

Dull question Tony, but why has it got a BSA badge (or is it a Tribsa?)

Well spotted CP......

To be honest I didn't look that closely. The rear section is bolt-on if that helps, and looking at the hi-res photo I can't tell if its a BSA frame or not !!  Roll Eyes

The bike was quite a 'special', with long travel moto-cross style forks & disc brake, remote oil filter by the swing arm / rear wheel, and other nice detailing.

Don't understand your comment. Sounds very judgemental but don't know why.

Alfie would rather be with us than stuck at home by himself and he loves to meet people  and other dogs, especially as so many people make a beeline for him as he is so popular on the car and bike circuit.

I know it was hot but good dog owners travel well prepared and Alfie had loads of shade and plenty of water plus he has his own sun tan lotion because even though he loves the sun we have to be careful he doesn't burn.

We had a great day and so did Alfie. I am sure he will enjoy himself at Andover on Monday too.

Cheers Hiboy. We didn't know and hadn't seen anything to say this. Alfie was clearly visible when we came through the pay point and no-one said anything. We wouldn't knowingly do anything to jeopardize the SSR event as it is so good.

Pity gmc didn't explain, if this is what he was referring to.
