New Project, BSA C15 Trials Special.

This is a really nice project.
The owner of this '61 C15 would like a conversion to transform it in to a gleaming, jewel like trials bike.

Bit of a shame to pull her apart though.

What Hides Beneath?

This morning I stopped to walk my dog near to my old home area on the edge of the cotswolds. The September weather at it's best giving a warm wind and perfect clear air.

The quiet stream meandering it's way through serene English countryside in a timeless scene.......... And then I look back over my shoulder, there, unexpectedly but poignantly, among the carefully manicured paddocks, is a suggestion of some of the turmoil that this postcard backdrop may hide.

Brighton, Ace Cafe Run

Some nice bikes at Brighton today, couldn't go on my cafe racer because I had to combine the trip with collecting some work parts. Really nice afternoon and met up with an old friend out of the blue.

Rudge Speedway

I have mentioned the lovely old Rudge Speedway bike that I have, the  following is a photo sent to me quite a while ago from Glyn, an ex speedway rider, who lives in the channel islands. I feel really ashamed that his surname has just gone out of my mind, obviously a senior moment. I will be back with it shortly.
Anyway,Glyn felt I would like to see Bob Jones (on the inside) riding his Rudge (the one I now have, I still feel it belongs to Bob) competing in a "Golden Greats" against Glyn, also on a Rudge. You will also see the little note written on the back of the photo. All part of this lovely old machine's history.
