Yes it's that time of the year again, Carol Nash have contacted me to see whether the TC would want a stand at this years show. 15th-16th October
If we go for the same stand as last year we would need a minimum of 4 bikes to make a reasonable display, therefore if any of you are interested in showing a bike please let me know soon.
Timbo and Moto63 have already shown an interest.

i'll go if you'll have me again. i promise not to put drops of oil on the floor under the shiney bikes when their owners arent looking if that helps..... got the m21, a c15 or a dr650 suzuki,

Thanks for that John, whatever you think would be of most interest to show goers.

Excellent work. Looking forward to it :)

For those who want to show a bike, could you PM me the bike details so that I can pass it onto CN. Will need your address as well so I can send tickets through, although that wont be for another couple of months.

I'm definitely going, but not sure which bike yet, but keep me a ticket please.

Had details for the stand and it appears we may have a bit more room, so if there is anyone else who wants to show their bike let me know. We're on the balcony near our usual spot.

I should be on a 1973 Italian Army, Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone, 500cc, which I am happy to put on the stand :)

Excellent. :)

Hello Gareth
I might be able to wangle a weekend pass if you want a really scruffy hard worked XBR. Low mileage (103000) but in good nick under the waxoyl. One or two odd mods which usually get people asking WHY! Graham knows what my XBRs are like. Let me know if you are int. Link to pics if it works. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/yxccq4q08w6x309/AADa98rZwpKaeXU_aU9h41rJa
Cheers

Speak for yourself mate! ;) I find them a little 'tubby', :) prefering the silf like lines of an SRX or a wee Ducati. ;D
However, the more singles the better, regardless of make, anything more is just 'complication'.
Keep bopping.
My regards, Bill

Richard, are you still interested in attending the show, I did email details of the camping.

So, Stafford is only a week away. Let's have an update of whose going. Also, meant to mention this before, keep your money close and well secured, ( youre TC members, so I'm sure you do that anyway ;) ). Last year, a mate of mine lost £2000 in cash, from his combat trouser pocket! Some scumbag, slit the bottom of his baggy pocket, on his trousers, while he was wearing them,and grabbed the money. He reported to police, who replied, its very common >:(
I won't have this problem, as I'm going with empty pockets :-\

im coming down. gonna try and get there friday tea time. my ticket and wristband came ok. i dragged the beesa out of the shed tonight and brushed the rust and dead flies off it. this will be its last hurrah as it is before a bit of fettling.
when it left the factory apparently it was delivered with a canterbury sidecar and so was an outfit from 1953 upto when my mate had it in the 1990s. he returned it to solo and sold the chair, and ran it as a solo. ive had it since then and have always wanted to put a chair back on it. now ive got a nice 1960s coachbuilt briggs single adult chair and have just, finally got a rigid wheel and sprung body chassis, a set of girder forks, some engield wheels (tls drum) and some block tread tyres. so, it wont be run again as a solo after this weekend.
see you guys there.

Hey up Timbo. Will you be putting your bike on the stand?
If so you.may want to know that you will not be able to.get it off until quite late. This has caused problems in the past for those needing to ride home.
Will you be staying over somewhere Sunday evening 'cos I will be back up at Kielder on Monday.
Steve
-
That's my plan. Quite possibly Dent, or YHA Hawes, or YHA Kettlewell, then boat home Monday. However, if the bike sells at Stafford, then I shall be scrounging a lift home in a car or van, hopefully :-\

Count me in on that one Gareth, coming down on my lonesome this year so I'll be glad of the "thumper company" looking forward to being able to put a few faces to names...cheers Michael

That sounds like a great idea, and youll all be able to wear your new 'desert storm' Thumper Club T shirts, which you will have purchased off myself :-\
