Happy New Year everyone. Made the most of todays mild(er) temperatures. Roads very wet and muddy here but it didn't stop us crazy riders getting out for a good ride and a cuppa.

Just received this from Jon Lambly for Crich Tramway Village CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE DAY - SUNDAY 3RD JULY 2022

"Crich Tramway Village CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE DAY - SUNDAY 3RD JULY 2022 - PARKING DETAILS
After October's event went quite well, we've started planning for next years event and we can but hope that covid-19 doesn't mess up 2022.
You may have seen that the editor of Old Bike Mart have just done a great write up for us in the December issue, which all helps promote the event.
We've learnt from previous events that the ideal number of exhibitors is around the 300 mark, so our intention is to plan around that figure. I will email you all, when I know when registration is opening but I imagine it will be around February or March.
We've applied for a Battle of Britain flyover, booking the band again and having event t-shirts made along with the usual awards and rosettes.
This year we are looking to have the Kawasaki Z1 owners outside the Red Lion pub to mark their 50th anniversary.
If your club or members have any queries, don't hesitate to get in touch.
Finally, thank you very much for your on-going support, without yourselves coming along the event wouldn't exist.
If you no longer wish to receive emails regarding the above, just let me know. I won't be offended.
All the best for Christmas and New Year and I hope to see you all soon.
Regards
Jon Lambley
The Vincent HRD Owners Club

Just heard that Paul Smart has passed away. I bought my 1st 400/4 off him in 1979, a 2 year old F2 in Parakeet Yellow. I used to spend a lot of time at his shop in Paddock Wood and his other workshop in Hawkhurst. A true racing legend.

Hi All

It's 6 years ago today that Ralph left us.
Still very much missed and never forgotten.
Hope you're having fun wherever you are Ralph. RIP

It's been a busy week but at last I found time to take Kitty out on her 1st ride. I've only done 22 miles so a long way to go yet until she is run in 🙄🙄🙄. Kitty is my 60th Birthday present to myself, a couple of weeks early but so what 😁😁😁😁 GCW412N

I'm trying to teach myself how to set the timing with a strobe light. I can't get 1&4 to time up, I run out of adjustment on the plate and the firing timing for 1 & 4 at full clockwise is firing just before full advance. I've tried it on 2&3 and they are spot on. What an I doing wrong 🤔🤔🤔🤔
