Afternoon Gareth. You may have seen my recent post about me starting an RS250 street tracker that I intend to try and get finished in 5 months. Much to the amusement of Ian 🤣😉👍
So please can I put my name forward for the Oct show, obviously no real details on the bike as yet as it’s just a pile of bits.
Also.... I sadly can’t fully commit to coming down yet as I’m having to undergo further tests for prostate cancer. I’m going into hospital next week for a small exploratory operation. Thankfully nothing to serious at this point. But I won’t know what the next few months will bring until I/they get the results back in a few weeks time.
Obviously I’ll keep you posted on any developments, both with the bike and myself as I appreciate the time you must put into organising it all👍
Cheers, Michael

Gareth, I think I have a bit of making up to do. I will be there with AT LEAST one thumper or maybe 2 if I can arrange to get them there. Hope this helps and makes up for April 😂. (No holidays booked this time!)

Michael, joking apart, I sincerely hope that you are well enough when the time comes. It will be great to catch up again. (And see floating front mudguards amongst your many other inventions 😉🏍?)

I don't know if I have replied elsewhere but would love to come please Gareth.
I know Mark is interested in bringing one of his Thumpers (Indian Enfield or Triumph 400 scrambler.). He really enjoyed spending time with us in April. My son Sam might also like to come with his Velocette Venom which he finally took out for a spin the other day.
Happy to forgo my bike being on the stand if need be.
I hope things are going ok for you Michael and that we see you in October.
Thank you
Richard

Hi Richard. Thanks for the encouragement,  but sadly no things aren’t going to good at the moment. The engine I bought for said 250 project was a complete bomb sight. (Literally) once it was stripped. So that is now away being rebuilt which is clearly not going to be a cheap job, hence the rest of the project has pretty much ground to a halt. The engine won’t be ready until late October, early November so that definitely counts me out of the show. I’ll hopefully try and get down for one of the days to catch up with you all… oh and I’d best be bringing a big bag of jelly babies 👶 As it would appear that the TC po leece were correct 🤦???
Cheers Michael

Michael much as I love having a laugh with you, I'm sad that your new project won't be "available" for this October's show. The crescendo was building nicely. Please do your best to come and visit us, health permitting!. I'm hoping to have the "new" SRX and one other thumper for the show. I may have to do quite a few journeys (4) on the Friday if I can't get a support rider. Fingers crossed on all counts 🤞🤞 ATB  Ian

Morning Ian. Yes, definitely a shame I won’t have the 250 any where near ready for the show. I’ve even put the RS I bought from Kevin up for sale to hopefully bring in some cash which I can then inject straight into the 250 tracker build. Mainly the engine rebuild, which isn’t going to be cheap. However it should hopefully be as good, if not better than new upon its return to me. Once the engine is back and paid for I can set about the rest of the build.
Cheers..Michael
PS… health wise, yes, I’ve been diagnosed with prostrate cancer. However, luckily I/they’ve caught it in its early stages. So I’m now on “active surveillance” blood checks every three months plus the rubber gloved finger feel too 😮😜. Fortunately I feel absolutely tip top.
Thanks again for your best wishes 👍

Morning all, not long to go to yet another amazing weekend. I hope you're all busy polishing your Thumpers! Well, maybe not John or Richard! I've booked a table at the Knot & Plough for 7 on Friday. Fingers crossed for fine weather, looking forward to seeing you all on Friday.
