I've been sitting on these pictures for a while, the IWKR was back at the beginning of August. Here's the last tranche of images from the event, all taken at the show held on the Sunday.
 |
AJS combo rode in to the show. BSA tank fitted
and unconventional match of green lane spec bike
attached to a large Watsonian Palma sidecar.
|
 |
A few interesting scooters rode in. This one a very tasty
Maicoletta. Considered by many the 'Rolls Royce of
scooters' the Maico is a very high spec machine with
performance to match and in some cases exceed similarly
sized bikes of the day (it was available in 250 and 277cc sizes).
|
 |
| A real rarity: British made, Villiers engined, DKR Defiant. |
 |
The Scott Owners Club was well represented with a stand in
the club area.
|
 |
| American iron was out in force at the show. |
 |
| Original paint pre-war Speed Twin. |
 |
| BSA Y-13 power plant. Very nice! |
 |
| And the complete Y-13. |
 |
Yours truly and offspring hacking the BSA Bantam around
the motorcycle gymkhana.
|
 |
More of the same. A fun way to get the kids involved with
the hobby.
|
 |
| Another snap, this time with other daughter! |
 |
Oldest at the event by a significant margin. The 1899 Leon
Bollée. Massive kudos for taking it around the gymkhana circuit!
|
 |
One of my personal favourite bikes of the fifties, though not
too sure why, I've never ridden one. Harley KH.
|
 |
I guess it's something about the concept of a
well developed side valve sporting v twin.
Personally I would have to go for flat bars though.
|
 |
| And a close up. |
 |
Very unusual AER fitted with Villiers two stroke parallel twin.
A E Reynolds were a Liverpool based concern best known
for modified Scott motorcycles. Albert E began producing his
own complete machines just before the War.
|
 |
And a Norton ready to go home after a long
weekend of vintage motorcycling.
