That's lovely!

Next weekend is the Vintage Motorcycle Club's Founders' Day Rally at Stanford Hall in Leicestershire.  It is usually very well attended, making the public motorcycle park every bit as interesting as the main club exhibits and the auto(bike) jumble.  I go most years and hope to be there next Sunday (22nd July).  Car parking is normally free, then you pay per person to get in to the event.

 

I'll be in a car, then deploying my old pale green, three wheeled mobility scooter to get around. If any of you attend and spot me, say hello!  My brother has been there on his Yamaha Fazer or BSA A10 most years but has since moved from Aylesbury to Penzance so probably won't be there.

Evening. I apparently can't scroll or read. Ta.

We must organise a bike meet thing type. Away from the norms.

[plasticvandan]

Shitebike sounds good to me!

Was at Santa Pod today for the Dragstalgia event. Odd seeing a number of cars and bikes from my youth their.

 

John Hobbs rode his bike "The Hobbit" with its two We slake engines twinned together - real beast of a machine. John managed to launch the bike well and attained a terminal speed of 11 mph on his last run of theday. Not bad for a bloke who is over 70 years old (which made me realise I am no longer young myself).

I'll have to enter my mobility scooter. It can get to 4.5mph.  Presumably you meant 111mph

Oops-bloody tablet. The Hobbit's terminal speeed was 161 mph. Could probably get a Hyabusa to do a similar terminal speed, but the Hobbit looks a truely frightening thing to get up the quarter mile.

I ragged this thing back to go and pick up my bike as I got caught up leaving the office - and it was actually better than my first review.

It was still shite, but not AS bad as I made out - fun enough when being ridden with the throttle like an on/off switch

 

When I got back I had a good chat with the fella from the Kawa dealer and he said everyone says the same about those bikes "1st gear too short, 6th gear too short, and an arseache after an hour" so I'm not alone it seems.

 

Then I made a fanny of myself infront of all the lads putting the bikes away for the night by stalling as I went to pull away back on my bike. Twat

 

ETA: Oh, and the brakes are far improved now the fluid has been changed - think the fluid was just well past its best is all.

 

I saw one of your recent posts on BB (I didn't realise you were on there) and wondered how you were getting on with your 636? 

[Fabergé Greggs]

I'm just home from 11 hours in the saddle at 45mph. (20mph up hills).

So you can look at their arse of course.

Which is the only time spurts bikes are better.

These guys popped into my "suggested" last night on YouTube, it's a great series.

How old is it how big is tank does it vibrate like a £@

[plasticvandan]

I love 44teeth. Watched every video over the course of a month or so.

 

They've just yesterday kicked off "The Budget Bike Battle Italia".... except the budget was £5k?! And then crept to £6.5k because there "wasn't anything around for £5k". Who's budget is that?

 

Looking forward to the new battle though

i was an avid watcher of the Baron and slowly got into 44 teeth as well,so long as you ignore the fact that their beer budget is the same as my bike budget,its a great watch

Hi Hairnet- Google suggests its a 16 litre tank and its an 04 plate. It's the last of the proper* Enfields though- Cast iron barrel, right hand change etc.

 

It does vibrate like fuck- Above 55mph it's like riding a whacker plate.

[hairnet]

just like riding the tractor at the fod lol

[purplebargeken]

I seem to have bought this. It's in Enfield which is 3 seconds away from Edmonton.

 

No, of course it doesn't run. 

 

I have started to repeatedly punch myself in the nuts as I type.

[hairnet]

I clicked the link and this hapoened

[purplebargeken]

Yeah, that's the one.

[Fabergé Greggs]

Was just about to post the same thing!

 

Funny definition of “similar”

[castros_bro]

Can anyone recommend an engineering company/person/magician  who can remove 4 broken + partly drilled exhaust studs from a Yam XT600 head?
