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.
I spent a lot of my free time in my shed. However I do venture out occasionally. Sometimes I see stuff I want to share with the world. That is what this blog is for....

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...

Bike Nite comes to Cheltenham
There was a bike nite arranged for Cheltenham about a mile from where I live so I popped over to the Mushroom Shed picked up the Sportster and checked it out.
Mostly stock Jap bikes but there were a couple of customs including this oddball
And a rather nice shite old trials bike

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).
