OUT AND ABOUT 2023

[Laverda Dave]

I visited the Bike Shed Show in Shadwell last night and enjoyed one £6.50 can of craft IPA whilst I looked around the various stands. I know custom (or 'Shed' as the new term is now) builds are not everyone's cup of tea but the question of build quality and imagination that goes into building these bikes is awesome. Not sure though how many of the finished bikes see the road or sit in living rooms as works of art. Best motorcycle show I have visited for years though.

Lovely builds - like to see them but would not want to have to pay the cost.

That Matchless one is rather tasty....

I’m off to Sammy Millers museum tomorrow. There’s a BSA owners bash event. All welcome any bike and a look around the museum. Then on June 4 there’s a VJMC Japanese ride in day. Great day for a ride out in the New Forest

See if they’ve still got my cutaway CB750 engine on display.

What skill... Love the Laverda.

Ah buts thats the soft 120 degree one, the older 180 ones sound better and ride different

[Oddjob]

The Laverda exhaust is a work of art, love it.

I'm in Orford, Suffolk today and there was a mass of Honda Cubs on the quayside. Must have been a club run.....but no piccies as  by the time we had parked and walked, they had all gone.😞

I’m in Woodbridge in Suffolk.

There’s a wicked Easterly so I’m not surprised they all cleared off.

Steve,
I took this pic in 2016 of the Honda engine when we visited Sammy Millers Museum......I only ever thought of Sammy as being a Trials Rider (silly me) but he had cups and trophies for EVERYTHING in biking under the sun ! Amazing bloke......instead of all the latest crap on TV somebody should make a programme charting all that Sammy has achieved......I'd pay good money to see that.

[Johnwebley]

Sammy Miller is a star on 2 wheels.

Worthwhile visiting the museums

That Guzzi V8 is a bit of a brute! Didn't know they had one there so that's a reason to go if nothing else....

[Spitfire]

Well took the Honda out for a spin, it went great however I did not, I have recently been diagnosed with Carpal tunnel syndrome by a physio and have been woken up at night with pains in my hands, pins and needles and a burning sensation in my hands.
I thought nothing of it but after about a mile on the bike my throttle hand was really painful so much so that I had to return home, after the physios referal I got in touch with my doctors who have managed to find me an appoinment for June so hopefully I can get something sorted.

Cheers

Dennis
