Went to Stafford yesterday
Went to the Stafford Classic and Mechanics (or what ever it's called) Show yesterday.
Bought stuff (mostly tools).
There was a lovely Triumph on the Metal Malarkey stand. Unfortunately I'm rubbish with cameras so this will have to do...

Tipple Run
Four days riding in Wales. Good times.
I've just downloaded the pictures from my camera. Looking at them you'd think we spent the whole time fixing bikes by the road. We didn't its just that that was the only time I remembered I have a camera.

Cheltenham Autojumble
Went down to the Cheltenham Autojumble on Saturday mostly to collect my new rear sprocket from Sprockets Unlimited.
As would be expected there were a few Shite Old Bikes there, including
Panther...
BSA sidevalve
And a Shovel that looked older than it was
Triumph unit lump for a grand.
Picked up some polishing supplies and gaffer tape before heading off to pick up my sprocket, only to discover they had forgotten to bring it. Alls well that ends well as they promised to post it first thing on Monday and it turned up today.

Hayride....
Had a great weekend and this year decided to hang around until the early afternoon on the sunday which meant I got to see an Austin 7 on the Wall of Death and the hangover friendly soapbox racing.
Oh and I took a camera so here are some pictures of bikes...
My bike next to Benny's Cutter
Benny looking at Spindles bike... coil had died.
I like the look of this nice simple lines, the sort of thing I want to do with my 'Not a Project' Sportster....
... but then again they do look good in a hardtail frame.
It was all American Twins...

Not a project....
My FJ died a couple of weeks ago which means I needed a bike that actually ran in order to enjoy the summer. As I had a bit of cash I decided to buy a 1200 Sporty. I picked it up today.
First Harley I've owned, in fact the first Harley I've ridden. I have to keep reminding myself that it's not a project (at least until the TriBSA is finished).

8V Triumph was for sale, didn't dare ask how much
One of the Tritons there caught my eye
Vincent special (Egli?)

Prescott Bike Festival
Went over to Prescott Bike Festival on Sunday. It seemed well attended considering it is a new event but I've no doubt it was aided by the good weather.
There was a nice mix of cars and bikes. This car caught my eye in th car park.
First time I've seen one of the new Nortons in the flesh.
Triumph 8V (Nourish?) hill climber
Ironhead sportster, I could see myself living with something like this one day (although I'd have to change the colour)

First Show of the Year
Made it to not one but two events today. Main one was the Bristol Classic Bike show which confusingly is held in Shepton Mallet. On the way there I dropped into a Bike Jumble at Bristol and met up with a bunch of people I hadn't met since the Hotrod Drags.
I then managed to persuade Stuart that a day looking at shite old bikes was better than a day doing shopping and housework so picked him up and headed off to the show.
This Triumph was on the Hill Climb Association stand.... I like it and think that Hill Climbing is something I might have a go at.
Picture is from Stuart as I had forgotten my camera.
The main reason I had gone to Shepton Mallet was to collect a load of powder coated parts from Nick at Griff's I'll be updating http://tribsa.blogspot.com/ with details at some point.
The powder coating used up most of my cash so the only things I bought were the latest couple of issues of DiCE. I also met up with some of the Dirty Bobbers crowd which was nice.

Books that changed my life
Just think if I hadn't discovered the NEL biker books when I was a teenager I might have ended up putting on a suit every day to go and work in a bank.... oh arse, I do.
