Sun 3rd April dawned, and it was off to the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club's annual jumble at Badshot Lea near Farnham in Surrey.
Its a really laid back event, if you want to set up a pitch, you just turn up and pay ya money...... nice.

Gates opened at 08:00, I got there about 20 past and folk were rumaging away, so not wanting to be left out I joined in.
There wasn't a lot on my shopping list, but I did want to get hold hold of a Suzuki GT380 sprocket-carrier as the one I have for a project was found to be cracked, so I delved in and asked the stall holders, alas, no luck.....
Then a guy who'd just arrived started unloading, and out of the van came a complete wheel (tyre n all), so figured I'd ask how much (if ya don't ask and all that....), £10 said the man, job done said I. Result

Quite a few folk turn up on their restored bikes, so its worth having a nose around the bike park too.... nostalgia and all that...............

I took some snaps of the jumble for the site, and then popped over to Farnham for a vehcile gathering in aid of a local charity, there'll be a couple of snaps of Farnham at http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9151.0


This stall had a few Fizzies (Yamaha FS1E mopeds), and at sensible prices too.

A very tidy Gilera 50RS trail moped (can't remember the last time I saw on of these... well maybe I can, and that would be about 1976  ).

Suzuki 250, think its a Hustler. J reg puts it about 1970. The bike has a 1970 road tax disc on it too (and a current one!)

Yamaha air cooled RD400, same colour as the one I had around 1982.

Yeah I know its a greasy old wheel (GT380), but I was pleased to find it for a tenner............... just right for a project (which isn't a GT380   )

Scooter and cleverly made 'VW' chair

A brace of Kawasakis, a 750 H2 (three cylinder two-stroke) and a Z900, (4 cylinder four-stroke)

This had me head scratching a bit.

Honda used to make a bike that looked like this called a Phil Read Replica, but I think this is someone's own adaption to the theme as the bike looks like it could be the next generation (or so) on from the original.

Nicely done.
