Interesting post! I can't help wondering how do they preserve a fish to go on the wall, they haven't got a pelt or something like other animals.
I brake for animals!

Been out to Blackheath with it's fabled Tea hut in south London. Not many bikes about today but the object of the journey was a paint drying run, I've given the engine a bit of a makeover. More work pending!  ;D

The lad Neil  went on to become an acomplished amateur Taxidermist this link explains the process for fish.

I think the back story qualifies it for an Out & About Ted👍

As an addendum to the story way back in 1969/70 I collected a brand new Mini Cooper S from Kennings on Queeen street Derby using trade plates (closed decades ago) it was a blue & white one. I drove the vehicle to the garage were I was working during the summer holidays - a Vauxhall Dealer (Allsops)on Bold Lane Derby. The vehicle was bought by an 18 year old lad - yes it was Neil Wheal.

Never saw the Neil or the car until 1973/4 when I saw it advertised in the local paper. I viewed the car but it had a cracked sump that had been bodged with glass fiber - at that time I had no facilites to remove the engine to fix it so I put my best mate onto the car as it was a one owner vehicle. The photo below is me (Navigator) with my mate at the start of the local DFS rally start line - circa 1974/5  yep it was Neils Cooper S - its a small world.

I've just got home from the Kempton Bike Show and autojumble. I'd like to say I had a really good ride over on the VFR but riding through the London 'burbs' is  painful even on a bike, so many idiots and morons in cars. I actually had one guy next to me at a set of red lights who decided he'd had enough of waitng and just decided to go despite all the traffic coming around the roundabout!
The show was pretty good, the CR Rotary racer was there and was run up on the rollers, what a sound as was the Jawa 2 valve speedway bike.
The Best in Show was won by a Honda Phil Read Replica with a very nice back story. There was a 90cc twin Yamaha that was highly comended as well as a CB72/77?
I was hoping to get some 10/40 oil for Ratty but nothing available, plenty of 20/50 or straight 30/40/50! In order not to feel I had a wasted trip I bought a can of electrical contact cleaner instead!

Nice one, dead jealous but hopefully on the way back to getting out on the bike, left thumb joint replace, now some rehab and then the throttle hand later in the year.

Great photos John - aside from Matlock on a Sunday there are no local biker meet pubs that I know of - decades ago there was a pub out near Longford I think it was The Ostrich - now a Private House.

I last visited the pub about four years ago - the pub seemed to be popular with overseas bikers that day.
Photo is from FB page.
