Classic Motorcycle Day on Sunday 2nd July 2017

Perhaps we could get some mods in for a rumble too

Back in the late 70's one hot bank holiday afternoon I went with a gang on bikes from the Town Hall pub in Eccles to the Irlam & Cadishead Festival, I think mainly because they were serving beer all afternoon, where an impromptu (and rather historically inaccurate) 'rumble' was informally organised between us and an equally worse for wear Viking re-enactment group. Not the best idea, as they had swords, though luckily not sharpened ones. At least both sides had helmets on.

As far as Belstaffs, open face lids etc go we'd look just the same as the Vincent crowd etc, so not for me, thanks. I think the bikes will speak for themselves. Plus my only open face lid is nearly as old as the bike, so not a good safety feature. Unusually I wore a Bell Star full face lid in the 70's, after seeing an ad in a US mag that said 'If you have a $10 head, then buy a $10 helmet'. I remember hearing a kid in a pushchair saying to his mum 'Look Mummy, a spaceman!'.

BUMP

This is only 2 months away now and nothing conctrete organised in tems of what we are doing? I know I was just the forum contact point on this but feel we should support them since they kindly invited us in the first place.....  Are we going to sort some SOHC related display other than the bikes some of us hopefully turn up on? We had some good ideas but need to build on this. Engine parts were suggested but does anyone have any literature  of Honda's history, especially 750 landmark bike etc.

Again can we put our thinking caps on  please.

Also, I have recieved the freebe entry tickets for those who said they were coming on bikes representing the forum.

Doesn't time fly !!!. My personal view Tim is that the logistics of carrying parts to the show prohibits what parts we can display. I'm not adverse to carry SOHC bits in my rucksack but would probably prefer not to. Maybe we could get some flyers printed to hand out to advertise the forum ?

[Rozabikes Tim]

Just the stuff Julie. You OK handling the flier bit?

 I will get the head off one of one of my 400 motors that needs stripping for rebuild and logistics not an issue as I live locally. May be able to locate a DOHC head for comparison. Anyone locate an old Brit pushrod head....

Keep the ideas coming chaps "n" chapesses!

[Nurse Julie]

Yes Tim, I will sort something out but........be warned, a flyer producer has never been at the top of my CV, or anywhere else on the CV for that matter, so any help from anyone would be gratefully received.

[Johnwebley]

just to confirm I plan on attending,

  not sure if I have anything I could bring

[yozzer74]

I'm still planning on going cheers

[Green1]

I'm still in. I shall be bringing an older version of myself he will probably be on the 550.
 I think that's enough.

Thanks for your responses so far and looks like we will have a nice number of bikes coming. Just need some more ideas of items to display - literature etc. What you got in your libraries?
