Title: 20th Classic mechanics show Stafford 19th-20th Oct 2013
Post by: Silverfox on June 16, 2013, 06:03:01 PM
Is anyone interested in showing their bike this year if we can get a stand?

I only have an XBR500 so we will need another 3 bikes minimum.

Let me know if you are interested with details of bike and I will get things moving.

Cheers
Gareth

Good news, Mortons have been in touch today and confirmed that we have a stand for the show, I think it will be similar location to last year.

Still looking for a few more bikes to exhibit.

Phew, just had a panic as the Cardiff Half Marathon sometimes clashes with the show, but this year they're weeks apart. Dead keen on doing both again.

A Tempter would be an ideal show bike, lots of people would want to see one in the flesh

Could probably have a nice xbr500 cafe racer ready by then. If not running.

We go every year, spring and autumn.

Hi

The bike is my brothers. I need to get him to join us on here. I'm pretty certain, in conversation we've had that a) he would like to show it and b) it will definitely be ready.

I'll communicate with him forthwith.

Cheers.

Hi I believe my big bro (propeller) has volunteered my xbr500 cafe racer for the thumper club stand at the Stafford show?  I would be glad to bring it down and show it I would just need to be given the all clear from who ever it is at the club that makes the decision. The bike is all but done and will defo be finished by the time the show comes round. It has been done to a good standard so would hopefully draw a few admiring glances for the stand. I look forward to hearing from you.  Regards  moto63.   Ps I can e mail some photo,s if req

Hi Moto63,

I did email on the 28th August re: the show, see below. Definitely would like to have your bike on the stand, the tickets should arrive a couple of weeks before the show so could you pm me you address and I will get them off to you once I receive them.
Cheers
Gareth

Hi,

We would very much like to have your bike on the stand. I haven't received the tickets and final details yet but will let you know as soon as they turn up.

We normally arrive midday Friday to set the stand up albeit there isn't much to do! Bikes need to be on the stand Friday or Saturday morning before 09:00. When do you think you will be arriving and will you be camping on site?

Cheers
Gareth

Sorry for not getting back sooner, I have been away on my honeymoon!

All's good for the show, tickets should be here later this week and I can get them sent out soon after. Please could the individuals concerned pm me their address.

One slight hiccup is that I now have to ask my WIFE whether I am allowed to go, but I don't think she will mind!

Cheers
G
