Old and New

Somethings got to give!

Spa Bikers Classic 2009

My retirement present to myself was to book a place on the Bikers Classic weekend at Spa. Fortunately I was able to borrow my old Honda back for the event. Superb circuit, friendly organisers, good music, good beer, good food, life just doesn’t get any better!

Triumph Metisse

Raced by me in the mid seventies and despite having new 750 barrels ,Quaife 5 speed box etc. I had to sell it for £300 just before the Classic Racing Club was formed and old diesels like this rocketed in value………
