Last Sunday was the SMCLCC's - http://www.salisburymotorcycleandlightcarclub.co.uk/ centenary show. Just a bit more than a centenary actually as the show had to be cancelled last year due to the pandemic.
A nice casual, ride in ride out, donations only kind of affair and a good way to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon. Below a few pics of some of the machines that caught my eye...
 |
| Always a pleasure to see a Moto Morini 3 1/2. Really must try one of these out some day... |
 |
| Something special right here. A Motodd Laverda Jota endurance racer. A proper beast of a bike. |
 |
| Motodd Laverda from a different angle. Very purposeful. |
 |
| Looks like a well used BSA A10. |
 |
| My own personal bike of the show. A recently finished project. Apparently it took three years to complete. A Yamaha RD350 motor squeezed into a Lambretta. Such a neat job that you would barely notice from looking at it apart from the twin pipes and the racket when it started up. A really fine piece of engineering and undoubtedly a hoot to ride. |
 |
| RD350 Lambretta again... |
 |
| Another Moto Morini. This time a Kanguro looking like it is still used as designed for. |
 |
| Something wholly different and wholly not my cup of tea, but hey variety is the spice of life and you've got to appreciate the work put in. |
 |
| The best looking and finest of BSA Bantams, a 1970 Bushman model. |
 |
| Wonderful flat twin ABC. |
 |
| Ex WD Indian 741 power plant. |
 |
| Sweet line up of AMC Sunbeam, BSA Empire Star and Indian 741. |
 |
| Another nice Lambretta. A bit more standard than the RD350 job, just lightly modified to period scooter rally spec. |
 |
| A very rare bird, Rhind-Tutt Wasp grass tracker fitted with Wasp's very own 1000cc parallel twin motor. Wasp are a local concern, still going strong and manufactured just outside of Salisbury. |
 |
| The Wasp powerplant. From the early nineties and an answer to the growing domination of Japanese fours in sidecar grass track. |
