First bike on left is an AJS, next up a Triumph H (note the leather strap around the forks to mitigate against spring failure and the soft toy mole on the sidecar is cute!). I wish I could identify the next bike, it looks sporting, Druid forks and a very distinctive wide flat petrol tank shape. Final bike on the right side is another Triumph H.<p></p>Richard Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05631151486253265842noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734523550620209708.post-59009241727551249802024-02-13T01:49:00.000+00:002024-02-13T01:49:48.671+00:00Moto escape France<p></p><div style="text-align: left;">Seems like a distant memory now, this was back in late September. I had a free week and the weather was good so I jumped on the opportunity to get some riding in.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The original plan was to make it to the Pyrenees and to hit some trails but apropos this I found myself trapped in a bit of a catch 22. I had off road capable tyres fitted for the mountain trails but then I found myself unable to reach those trails because the tyres made covering distance on motorways intolerable. When you're only nudging 30bhp it's quite amazing how sapping some knobblies can be when trying to cruise near your limit. And the noise, that noise! Even ear plugs couldn't drown it out.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">No choice then but to go for back road cruising and lessen the ambition regarding distance covered. In the end a good decision as there's not a lot of joy in riding a Himalayan on a motorway. The Dordogne was decided upon as a suitable new target destination.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnbc5iM34DvZhtl2o1hBpIsZB6tbNsp1_8LcOQGBgWUE2HCjgME0LJ8BS7lR-i-Js3drSg94WgTvX3-rMwGaRv5uhimsZ8Q9vTMykHIlb0VK46AliMUDU7UtLVcEwFPPeCiMCsVOZv1Nvvv2v2IH7b1UE_7hlURW24_agsa1TC8xqE-EbMaPH3HiahQdSB/s4000/IMG_20231010_180406272_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnbc5iM34DvZhtl2o1hBpIsZB6tbNsp1_8LcOQGBgWUE2HCjgME0LJ8BS7lR-i-Js3drSg94WgTvX3-rMwGaRv5uhimsZ8Q9vTMykHIlb0VK46AliMUDU7UtLVcEwFPPeCiMCsVOZv1Nvvv2v2IH7b1UE_7hlURW24_agsa1TC8xqE-EbMaPH3HiahQdSB/s320/IMG_20231010_180406272_HDR.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The first couple of nights I was the sole<br />occupant of each campsite I stayed in.<br />This is the municipal camping at St<br />Fraimbault in Normandy.

Lots of motorcycles and scooters but nothing much old. Royal Enfields are surprisingly popular, I saw quite a few around. A significant amount of two wheeled traffic is from delivery bikes which are generally chinese machines locally modified with extended swinging arms, extra shockers and a large subframe for extra carrying capacity. There's also a significant number of motor tricycles, these again seem locally modified, though some may perhaps come from China as are. These delivery bikes seemed quite at odds with the otherwise ultra modernity of Seoul where a significant percentage of cars are electric. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzPmVbr3aRi9pZbXPc5K3lYAQcDmg-PZVubPzvYNGH6_8q5XGe2KPgFXgPCkC6S0QhGpSfCx9huL4d1tyDHFiV4wdGAY9xqXZGbTNIuhDoZmhsgJ1SbTcAAP_HXl6I31gFITxZ5RoI1c0djARfPNUbCO4NIUAyVX8Qb0fSuth9J03FpodWeApvM-QNYfUK/s4000/IMG_20231120_124319901_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzPmVbr3aRi9pZbXPc5K3lYAQcDmg-PZVubPzvYNGH6_8q5XGe2KPgFXgPCkC6S0QhGpSfCx9huL4d1tyDHFiV4wdGAY9xqXZGbTNIuhDoZmhsgJ1SbTcAAP_HXl6I31gFITxZ5RoI1c0djARfPNUbCO4NIUAyVX8Qb0fSuth9J03FpodWeApvM-QNYfUK/s320/IMG_20231120_124319901_HDR.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This was the oldest bike I saw.

This very sweet James I recently finished and passed on. I had bought it a few years back from a junk shop where it had had anything sticking out on its left hand side cut off to make it hang flush to a wall. This included the left pedal (yes, not removed but cut in half!), the handlebars and half of the saddle. It being quite a special and rare cycle I took pity on it and it came home with me.</p><p style="text-align: left;">In an initial flush of enthusiasm I did half the jobs needed on it and then it got neglected for a while. I've recently been having a bit of a clearout and I noted the James as superfluous to needs. I don't like to leave something half done so fininshed off the project first before selling and here is the final result.</p><p style="text-align: left;">What marks this James out as something a little different is James' own brand of gearing which is an epicyclic gear located in the chainwheel, Sunbeam used a similar system for a number of years. It gives two speeds - 1:1 and a low ratio. Also unusual is James' own brand of cantilever brakes.</p><p style="text-align: left;">James made Sports Ace models in several different versions, I've neither seen nor heard of another survivor. The new custodian is a Veteran Cycle Club member and hopefully the bike will get some use on events.<br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs36-RbDQHe_EhTUAXnL_ebPdvkEqoH5RH6Oe_hZkxPRkAqiS3jRR8-WXn323-4OijYpCCcbYzB5RPA0SDWf27YfrnqIY6u26stXdNTVHnZZpJggLSzuTftu2S_Zx1p7HsFT1YPDYqLyeKYqHb5lw1XLP73ClRrAbXIKZnRah8pdOx6U-bd_NtImS81wXQ/s4000/IMG_20230926_151437843_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs36-RbDQHe_EhTUAXnL_ebPdvkEqoH5RH6Oe_hZkxPRkAqiS3jRR8-WXn323-4OijYpCCcbYzB5RPA0SDWf27YfrnqIY6u26stXdNTVHnZZpJggLSzuTftu2S_Zx1p7HsFT1YPDYqLyeKYqHb5lw1XLP73ClRrAbXIKZnRah8pdOx6U-bd_NtImS81wXQ/s320/IMG_20230926_151437843_HDR.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">James Sports Ace side view.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSKePyYbfSEX0d3tYnkBxpddsz6LkTywIba7fmoa13vsE9qPz2h6adu14lEKZqKLrCB6nh-jLTwwC9Sqf0ym0wufMtC_UiaROOEoLCtBer4WRmmLlk2Z_7pgKayT0sVslVTu0FVDwtVN25hqYMm_yauOw4bEF79e-RrmG8G6IQVd-YHmvdy9IPqzBjTRu/s4000/IMG_20230926_151722739.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSKePyYbfSEX0d3tYnkBxpddsz6LkTywIba7fmoa13vsE9qPz2h6adu14lEKZqKLrCB6nh-jLTwwC9Sqf0ym0wufMtC_UiaROOEoLCtBer4WRmmLlk2Z_7pgKayT0sVslVTu0FVDwtVN25hqYMm_yauOw4bEF79e-RrmG8G6IQVd-YHmvdy9IPqzBjTRu/s320/IMG_20230926_151722739.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I fitted a 'Shuresta' alloy prop stand, it's postwar<br />but I feel an appropriate accessory.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj35TPsXend-2ZIW1BV8F7gvA8SXN7AXBb2f62zjnt-Uec4NzWkDQECItAzqhn3owcxvVXyAcEhWIInDXru1XrRA57y7aMWpp__zd0GcTXcWzy1lSmYvjPu3THBY_sZdtZFp32Cg9CW8Q6lnaTw6J-v40gh7w3Fjq0tkDOt1-6pcRoLSPN_RPvY1GcQMIQF/s4608/IMG_20230926_151927481_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj35TPsXend-2ZIW1BV8F7gvA8SXN7AXBb2f62zjnt-Uec4NzWkDQECItAzqhn3owcxvVXyAcEhWIInDXru1XrRA57y7aMWpp__zd0GcTXcWzy1lSmYvjPu3THBY_sZdtZFp32Cg9CW8Q6lnaTw6J-v40gh7w3Fjq0tkDOt1-6pcRoLSPN_RPvY1GcQMIQF/s320/IMG_20230926_151927481_HDR.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">And here's the rear brake, James' own<br />cantilever.

The machine is a Rex, a fairly distinctive bike of which the identification was further simplified by the bike and year being written on the reverse of the photo. Like all these photos, if only we knew the story behind them... the gent is rather fashionably dressed, though perhaps not for motorcycling. Anyone who had a motorcycle back in these days was well off. Just as a fun aside, note the 'stumpery' in the back ground - a very fashionable garden feature of the Victorian and early Edwardian era.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFYziwRAWZAU4Rwoy8ZDdeXMHHsVdEkDSMNLesBYtCtwcLGDDDop7dzx62s3PHOnsjo9I-GVQoISh0JOzkksco9PYTdDVdKllYbTOGDoMANxu5LiKM0NZPmGTZ7zasoOohQ6Uwo1sfzqSyl3cJzFII343OiKeFn7cQNaFru6RMj5YMtME23Kdpe83dsl6b/s6655/rex.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4271" data-original-width="6655" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFYziwRAWZAU4Rwoy8ZDdeXMHHsVdEkDSMNLesBYtCtwcLGDDDop7dzx62s3PHOnsjo9I-GVQoISh0JOzkksco9PYTdDVdKllYbTOGDoMANxu5LiKM0NZPmGTZ7zasoOohQ6Uwo1sfzqSyl3cJzFII343OiKeFn7cQNaFru6RMj5YMtME23Kdpe83dsl6b/w320-h205/rex.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Richard Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05631151486253265842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734523550620209708.post-76019120223662089682023-10-30T20:48:00.000+00:002023-10-30T20:48:08.674+00:00Flat tank special<p>This one has me confused. At first I hoped it was an early Japanese machine but the closer I look the more it seems to be a homemade special that just happens to have some Japanese script on the tank.</p><p>My overall synopsis of it is that the bike is something of a death trap. A powerful JAP ohv 'dog eared' sports motor with Triumph twin barrel carb, wobbly Triumph 'rocking' front forks, no front brake, belt drive and just a drive rim brake on the rear. It's rather hard to put a date on the bike, the overall spec suggests around 1920 but the engine comes from somewhat later (mid to late twenties).</p><p>The gearbox is a Sturmey Archer and the overall appearance very sporting. Having had a look at early Japanese bikes the number plate could just be Japanese but equally it could be British - if it is indeed British it comes from Bradford. The logo on the tank is a mystery but the most likely explanation is that the bike was put together as a special by someone who had a knowledge of Kanji script, perhaps an impecunious student who built their own sporting mount? Putting the tank logo through google translate comes up with 'about three' - maybe it refers to the number of different bike brands in this particular mongrel?</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc_-0KbGZJdssWiohnnOF4ts8h_B-xfHMf6XJY7LLwWiL1KqawlHNaNOoyPSMLJe2x5ZCpgFy9b0I-_naAvcEzEfDJzbNxyE68MBlY-9mYsQ6DYt4yYgW8-7vTyyp8n3jez8n5gY6s-GAZB-rgA5Bd3GfqnklonB0Q4PB9YesPH2htXO4XUM3CYC2p4gRG/s3927/mystery%20flat%20tank%20japanese.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2768" data-original-width="3927" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc_-0KbGZJdssWiohnnOF4ts8h_B-xfHMf6XJY7LLwWiL1KqawlHNaNOoyPSMLJe2x5ZCpgFy9b0I-_naAvcEzEfDJzbNxyE68MBlY-9mYsQ6DYt4yYgW8-7vTyyp8n3jez8n5gY6s-GAZB-rgA5Bd3GfqnklonB0Q4PB9YesPH2htXO4XUM3CYC2p4gRG/s320/mystery%20flat%20tank%20japanese.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Richard Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05631151486253265842noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734523550620209708.post-26767492832761314412023-10-21T20:04:00.002+01:002023-10-21T20:04:51.993+01:00Bob Foster Run 2023<p>Many years have passed since I last went over to a Bob Foster Run despite it being on my doorstep.

My Velocette went to pastures new a little while back but as I was only able to spectate having not been organised enough to get my entry in sufficiently in advance I chugged into the car park on the Enfield Himalayan.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

The short answer is no! So, over to you knowledgeable folks out there. Can anyone furnish any details as to marque, year or model?</p><p>Moussard engines were manufactured in the mid twenties and also went under the 'Madoz' and 'Moussard-Madoz' brand names.</p><p>This particular machine was once in the Oltimer Motoren Museum in Oudenburg which was situated in the late lamented Bikers Loft bar and hostel, Groenedijk, Belgium and funnily enough I took a picture of the bike and it featured on this blog way back in 2014.</p><p>The frame design is fairly distinctive with its curved downtube as is the toolbox. It's quite a basic machine being a single speeder but the lighting set is a lovely luxury feature. It must have been just the job for puttering along canalside tracks. Moussard engines were fitted to a number of marques from France, Belgium and Holland. Overall the machine looks fairly close to a 'DĂ©-DĂ©' but there are a number of key differences.</p><p>If you have any ideas as to identity please comment below or mail.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipJRQ7Gn26iG7ZcKu30hp8I6K4O44lFBm20tgz-D0blWaghoE-SgDPqLzvQILeGCbWmrRhp8IlMcmiRvTSe1PpCR1xKQbYrg3mSwDfyHKOjDa44BIaQJDbeX5Rpx12iUnRXYecsH9cRWLc-wq102kmJZBdDLyVvsUgeSUR-KEA6qnU8vmvv8Idt11Xe_3k/s1728/Moussard%20(1)%20-%20kopie.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1296" data-original-width="1728" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipJRQ7Gn26iG7ZcKu30hp8I6K4O44lFBm20tgz-D0blWaghoE-SgDPqLzvQILeGCbWmrRhp8IlMcmiRvTSe1PpCR1xKQbYrg3mSwDfyHKOjDa44BIaQJDbeX5Rpx12iUnRXYecsH9cRWLc-wq102kmJZBdDLyVvsUgeSUR-KEA6qnU8vmvv8Idt11Xe_3k/s320/Moussard%20(1)%20-%20kopie.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw4bQSYDXcAMSxSKVT8G0a1G9gqct7h8J884_wfD-7K5C2cEbtLzOiwxEAIUOgW2yR5EpKUBcrtQBnJx9ZvwwrjvF6BaiNFHcCmAjyw879aWWg48rXg0ZQ1oQ-LEx_br3s73j-2CnNjy9I5s9KCVYKR94f06kjuNwv3t9BPY_9fibZXmvSIm7DISV-iqSV/s3840/Moussard%20(4).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2880" data-original-width="3840" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw4bQSYDXcAMSxSKVT8G0a1G9gqct7h8J884_wfD-7K5C2cEbtLzOiwxEAIUOgW2yR5EpKUBcrtQBnJx9ZvwwrjvF6BaiNFHcCmAjyw879aWWg48rXg0ZQ1oQ-LEx_br3s73j-2CnNjy9I5s9KCVYKR94f06kjuNwv3t9BPY_9fibZXmvSIm7DISV-iqSV/s320/Moussard%20(4).JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_PjJbuPOYSdcg16aY25kTKgZjYodDC5Twge_xlhKF5hwWDZeZRZsWTp8Z_q3paJlvl-tKAld8bpczJh3wYddeI3oeg_jhL_jdAiGkA4kMRK4SA0HEBsQEbn3EhMT4z_hR5SclQFFJx7FQlGvSPlmUlXmq2QLXdg0fwLVDx5sJ5ZxGn6wDMkLEw9uamet5/s1152/Moussard%20(8).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1152" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_PjJbuPOYSdcg16aY25kTKgZjYodDC5Twge_xlhKF5hwWDZeZRZsWTp8Z_q3paJlvl-tKAld8bpczJh3wYddeI3oeg_jhL_jdAiGkA4kMRK4SA0HEBsQEbn3EhMT4z_hR5SclQFFJx7FQlGvSPlmUlXmq2QLXdg0fwLVDx5sJ5ZxGn6wDMkLEw9uamet5/s320/Moussard%20(8).JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyzUX_XW3SwiutsmranczgEWHqRZgeHXVWoeduunM5OlLZ51mcUeH5tIl7TXexNUh48t7V9o9Khl2pvr3IvL1MNc-ZBKPOA51FMbpe6a9LgZ1aSYSX4xSrZt3bAAPSTWFPA_o4FI_Np1K7Arfiamk47PlWAMulKrsN3R1dvRJ_yzJjECkq0RMS7f1b1dlP/s3840/Moussard%20(13).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2880" data-original-width="3840" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyzUX_XW3SwiutsmranczgEWHqRZgeHXVWoeduunM5OlLZ51mcUeH5tIl7TXexNUh48t7V9o9Khl2pvr3IvL1MNc-ZBKPOA51FMbpe6a9LgZ1aSYSX4xSrZt3bAAPSTWFPA_o4FI_Np1K7Arfiamk47PlWAMulKrsN3R1dvRJ_yzJjECkq0RMS7f1b1dlP/s320/Moussard%20(13).JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNXyURMG6P06R4ATFRTdLEg6JpP-DdOMvEem99GWlBxLgBS_7jm-fXldupTpFctcWkf-LOcmS8T61PqWpdwjCFKMr33AkTXZ5kzzROcpSwGFhpgQZl0rbACJa7OeQJ7Jlm2znd97zXDEZ6ZDH1o9k4yllfOQ6EQgj2robnGVB6_Or20-5pQU0aAyiiYDU2/s720/Moussard-Madoz-1924.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="483" data-original-width="720" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNXyURMG6P06R4ATFRTdLEg6JpP-DdOMvEem99GWlBxLgBS_7jm-fXldupTpFctcWkf-LOcmS8T61PqWpdwjCFKMr33AkTXZ5kzzROcpSwGFhpgQZl0rbACJa7OeQJ7Jlm2znd97zXDEZ6ZDH1o9k4yllfOQ6EQgj2robnGVB6_Or20-5pQU0aAyiiYDU2/s320/Moussard-Madoz-1924.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Advert for the Moussard 175 unit.

Every other year I've gone has been with a stall. It was a different experience but still highly enjoyable, in fact slightly liberating to know that there was no stall to look after and all time there was purely to browse and chat.</p><p style="text-align: left;">To add to the experience Dan kindly provided the event transport in the shape of his 1934 Crossley Torquay Saloon. A very classy way to turn up and a beautiful drive through the New Forest where it was in its element in the 40mph national park blanket speed limit.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The Autojumble seems to be picking up slightly after the post-covid and brexit doldrums. There were a good few more stalls than the last couple of years even if it's not quite back up to 2019 levels. It's great to see a lot more international visitors back even though there are still understandably very few overseas stallholders.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-aLCoQqTGNrcC1CfwH8iGXth_odW2iu1NmLgbd-ZeErg3PzKI96cc89J0twdz5pd94vnGeWhVvMZbUwyNLjbl4d-zlvHgo9RZnUqGmUEnqum1aMxGJdy_BCMvxF1TFd9Z-xy9e_c6flzQ1yTHeX1Rv7gC9SwsxOwvymSCZTnzKMfvvlSkMHFpfhUooHS/s4000/IMG_20230902_200154262.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-aLCoQqTGNrcC1CfwH8iGXth_odW2iu1NmLgbd-ZeErg3PzKI96cc89J0twdz5pd94vnGeWhVvMZbUwyNLjbl4d-zlvHgo9RZnUqGmUEnqum1aMxGJdy_BCMvxF1TFd9Z-xy9e_c6flzQ1yTHeX1Rv7gC9SwsxOwvymSCZTnzKMfvvlSkMHFpfhUooHS/s320/IMG_20230902_200154262.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Our transportation for the event - Dan's<br />1934 Crossley Torquay Saloon.</td></tr></tbody></table><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNmNfX5DbfhHQrxmth4bp8kC15lwFDVwq2OedK20v5RZ05wCLkOX01zXpU1lBoAqCEsvs4STCC_YyFUk-nUTDM6d8HTQHaEHgkUla_ODym5mtyGTcQEJSHFgbjrJPqKUc0pOPLHeC1fLz13JsHFCPN-jrg8Eukni1mjbn2e5wlftWVI-JhCJLfFKMhKOVu/s4000/IMG_20230902_141650388_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNmNfX5DbfhHQrxmth4bp8kC15lwFDVwq2OedK20v5RZ05wCLkOX01zXpU1lBoAqCEsvs4STCC_YyFUk-nUTDM6d8HTQHaEHgkUla_ODym5mtyGTcQEJSHFgbjrJPqKUc0pOPLHeC1fLz13JsHFCPN-jrg8Eukni1mjbn2e5wlftWVI-JhCJLfFKMhKOVu/s320/IMG_20230902_141650388_HDR.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is what Beaulieu is all about.

As such it was more popular than ever and was fully booked, this was found out when Matt and I tried to book a ride at late notice hoping for a repeat of our top combo prize of last year (after a war of attrition we were the only sidecarists of a very limited field to get to the end, so tenacity and luck rather than skill). My back took several weeks to recover but the memory of that had faded and it seemed like repeating it all over again would be a wonderful idea.</p><p>Entering wasn't to be but it's still a great event to spectate. I turned up at the lunch break at the Tollard Royal Golf Club to have a nose at the bikes entered and then followed the route on my BSA Bantam to spectate at sections 6 to 9 (of 12).</p><p>Below a series of pictures taken of entrants both static and in action, no captions really necessary. And if you really have time to kill I made a short clip of a few of the riders that's published on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XH8XE6RaKc" target="_blank">youtube</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

That's got to go a long way to explaining just why there such a disproportionate number of photos of the era feature Triumph motorcycles.</p><p>This particular image of a veteran Triumph is however a very good one. Very sharply focussed and quite artfully composed. As ever if you want to see a larger resolution of it then right click and open in a new window and then enlarge to original size (1200dpi).</p><p>Neat features on this particular Triumph are an aftermarket clutch, a rather unusual mounting for the acetyline lighting generator on the top tube above the petrol tank. Also note the very long leather flap in front of the engine to keep the magneto dry and perhaps a little bit of mud away from the riders feet too.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhjBBywxSvHjFme5m27oj-Z7uJgCLQrcl8JkswAEZxJ4syjhpovTkykea_2ygW8FA-PsX5TdYO68rQkzlD6UxT0UkXbLt_qeT30aJnKhVyzAKXLX8a5rWU6zhe3NMlpWx7_7BZf2owOM4qG7oM4xGB56j7lZ6tM_ZrsuUq2tYsaIQiEwmlNkZY9rFM-rhb/s6728/triumph%20veteran.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="veteran triumph motorcycle" border="0" data-original-height="4368" data-original-width="6728" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhjBBywxSvHjFme5m27oj-Z7uJgCLQrcl8JkswAEZxJ4syjhpovTkykea_2ygW8FA-PsX5TdYO68rQkzlD6UxT0UkXbLt_qeT30aJnKhVyzAKXLX8a5rWU6zhe3NMlpWx7_7BZf2owOM4qG7oM4xGB56j7lZ6tM_ZrsuUq2tYsaIQiEwmlNkZY9rFM-rhb/w320-h208/triumph%20veteran.jpg" title="veteran triumph motorcycle" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Artfully shot veteran Triumph.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p>Richard Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05631151486253265842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734523550620209708.post-89459342499484495232023-07-24T22:08:00.002+01:002023-12-20T01:52:46.858+00:00VMCC Founders Day 2023<p>Founders day this year looked for a little while like it might be a complete washout. I had booked camping for the Saturday night and even fitted my Norton Dommi with a set of Craven panniers for the trip. Come Saturday morning I got up in eager anticipation of the ride ahead, looked out of the window and then spent the rest of the day moping around inside contemplating the wisdom of preparing to build an ark... Sunday morning and the rain had gone, a quick check of the VMCC website to make sure that Stanford Hall hadn't been washed away overnight and I set off on the long suffering Himalayan for a motorway flog up to the Midlands.</p><p>Arriving at Stanford Hall I was so glad that I hadn't given in to sloth and had made the effort, the field was dry, the sun almost shone and a great day was had by all. It's been a few years since I was last at a Founders Day and I had nearly forgotten what a wonderful event it is. A great autojumble where you can still find proper vintage parts, old friends and the camaraderie of a shared passion made for a perfect day out. There follows a selection of pictures of machinery that tickled this now not so young man's fancy...</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

You've got to assume that the postcard was produced as a promotional tool for BAT motorcycles. BAT were named after the company's founder, Samuel Batson, and from the start were prominent in competition. Following competition success the company in 1903 adopted the logo, 'Best After Test'. The BAT in this image has a De Dion Bouton engine which should date it as 1901 or 1902.</p><p></p><p>I can't find much out about Baruch Blaker but he seems to have been quite a character. From what I can find he was a resident of Worthing in West Sussex and was a sporting cyclist from the earliest days. He was an early convert to motor bicycles and was a competition rider in the very first motor sport events. There is a record of him having competed at the first Brighton Speed Trials in 1905. He apparently ran a photography studio in Worthing from 1899 to 1904 and then later ran a shop selling bee keeping apparatus as well as wax and honey.</p>Richard Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05631151486253265842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734523550620209708.post-8142581435221412422023-06-27T21:47:00.002+01:002023-06-27T21:47:24.378+01:00Zenith 680<p>The Zenith 680 was amongst the most stylish machines of the vintage era and one of the few British v-twins to be designed with solo riding in mind as opposed to lugging a sidecar.</p><p>A pity the full machine isn't in this photo but the focus and detail is excellent.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0vddAMA1Yh0BGmhe07dEY-H3kRkLQ8iae7B4JGuXc4koxoOE6xbiw9wfexvT5jro60CZWUGhQ2iBoWP_aewm_cpa--G5LmMfKVjaAjR2qP2YnAR4fjNXiXxEI2C9JeYGdbyJyb0Z63031L-OFNAUd1URnEamSzRaUhrHrnu1v1iu4_ABddlVpxqFkuivE/s4293/zenith.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3033" data-original-width="4293" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0vddAMA1Yh0BGmhe07dEY-H3kRkLQ8iae7B4JGuXc4koxoOE6xbiw9wfexvT5jro60CZWUGhQ2iBoWP_aewm_cpa--G5LmMfKVjaAjR2qP2YnAR4fjNXiXxEI2C9JeYGdbyJyb0Z63031L-OFNAUd1URnEamSzRaUhrHrnu1v1iu4_ABddlVpxqFkuivE/s320/zenith.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Richard Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05631151486253265842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734523550620209708.post-62975511665735820142023-06-16T21:34:00.001+01:002023-06-16T21:34:14.566+01:00More Tokyo street spots<p>Some more Tokyo street spots snapped on an amble up and down the 311 between Haneda and Kamata. The Beemers and BSA were outside a Beemer dealership and a very friendly chap came out for a chat when he saw that I was paying an interest. I found it strange but admirable that a load of dusty (though good condition) classic rides were fronting a showroom full of very shiny modern BMWs. The Yamaha was outside a Kawasaki dealership and looked like it was perhaps the daily rider of someone who works there.<br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5OCt5ttQ11rMri-1A2it1aksICLqA1O9K9LfVrIVDv7QgtekKl7NgXXtT7XuLNZsWqrAmrmw4ieOOYgCBg8OQTbNZmNM_0NKpanSZTfkW9WaAnrCR6js0sd-DSL2Gb8lGS-aC8cV5yWgfqtWaKT-U_gn96H2dNQ9vC8ljYaY3y3DeKq0fkNof16le4A/s10496/IMG_20230425_172942_478.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5904" data-original-width="10496" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5OCt5ttQ11rMri-1A2it1aksICLqA1O9K9LfVrIVDv7QgtekKl7NgXXtT7XuLNZsWqrAmrmw4ieOOYgCBg8OQTbNZmNM_0NKpanSZTfkW9WaAnrCR6js0sd-DSL2Gb8lGS-aC8cV5yWgfqtWaKT-U_gn96H2dNQ9vC8ljYaY3y3DeKq0fkNof16le4A/s320/IMG_20230425_172942_478.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Unusual to see three 100RS together.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSaELa_EDB4pzaspI6WXv_SmPPUM2jVDr2-PoFzUGtx3VZskdOVTbIBG3TNL7WMMMxq6GCbonZBL_qgIYD4qcg5ZFMdpRbdBK0pFmNCIt5jQ-uNQhnF-w2aHidIj35LtKBIUfyNLaFntgeo37dtTi4hG6-ROS7PbnA7lf6PHevJgeB4pSwZ_4sOj8t4A/s10496/IMG_20230425_172933_404.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5904" data-original-width="10496" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSaELa_EDB4pzaspI6WXv_SmPPUM2jVDr2-PoFzUGtx3VZskdOVTbIBG3TNL7WMMMxq6GCbonZBL_qgIYD4qcg5ZFMdpRbdBK0pFmNCIt5jQ-uNQhnF-w2aHidIj35LtKBIUfyNLaFntgeo37dtTi4hG6-ROS7PbnA7lf6PHevJgeB4pSwZ_4sOj8t4A/s320/IMG_20230425_172933_404.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A distance shot on the Beemers.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLHVfGRSNA2plx1_t_9-M7alf-Vx8HkQm1b0IoW-yvR7CToQLlWp6hHToweFmrWE8DFhlmmvuIfM_1hFjh5QwJBe0rKtpBqWoVRrvUOEcPSIUXMlfWIzlRjBMzqkRtJRvX0oNy6efaVvpBamIXA56wqxehEZfwnxjg9u9HTLVlkFsrcJyB3IpiFmdnYA/s10496/IMG_20230425_172925_924.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5904" data-original-width="10496" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLHVfGRSNA2plx1_t_9-M7alf-Vx8HkQm1b0IoW-yvR7CToQLlWp6hHToweFmrWE8DFhlmmvuIfM_1hFjh5QwJBe0rKtpBqWoVRrvUOEcPSIUXMlfWIzlRjBMzqkRtJRvX0oNy6efaVvpBamIXA56wqxehEZfwnxjg9u9HTLVlkFsrcJyB3IpiFmdnYA/s320/IMG_20230425_172925_924.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">BSA A65 Lightning.

Tokyo driving is fairly relaxed and civilised by the standards of other capital cities across the world but never-the-less hats off for piloting this beast through the traffic.</p><p style="text-align: left;">In the UK the whole chopper scene is very separate from the vintage / classic bike movement, something I've always found strage given how cafe racers are welcomed and what are they really but custom bikes? In the end we're all just folks enjoying vintage machinery.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIKIYjSRNnq6QMv01NzWxE52G3JdueT1tgKT9IbfF6lcwVsoO_8tfpyLA8d6FycrXlHrog15gsI5wud2VuZv8o4ojm8qFzmvMESpXnKb0OAQAaa-xHD09pl_mE6BgZWDExaGFy2BOs4hKdQFKX5287LJ-4Z8MYXoy2NEuyhax4b4wpCir0poLqmGVdQ/s10496/IMG_20230425_170903_634.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="10496" data-original-width="5904" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIKIYjSRNnq6QMv01NzWxE52G3JdueT1tgKT9IbfF6lcwVsoO_8tfpyLA8d6FycrXlHrog15gsI5wud2VuZv8o4ojm8qFzmvMESpXnKb0OAQAaa-xHD09pl_mE6BgZWDExaGFy2BOs4hKdQFKX5287LJ-4Z8MYXoy2NEuyhax4b4wpCir0poLqmGVdQ/s320/IMG_20230425_170903_634.jpg" width="180" /></a></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBoMFfWTWfCJCDDacChxv3A3mBNaLqp18qD-XJ9eVK7UZm9_ezHOFPVWIb6XuyfUMZDB0TqlwU076q0LNck1PFMJw-aFILKgR6Ju1BJaAf9DHWriEOJKFBWye_Q8KYN2elkroHCYh5cGmw6c3PmPGptLBgpnh4tVvvDv2IwYCl-s8_CUg9nkGznjJEHQ/s10496/IMG_20230425_170920_095.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5904" data-original-width="10496" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBoMFfWTWfCJCDDacChxv3A3mBNaLqp18qD-XJ9eVK7UZm9_ezHOFPVWIb6XuyfUMZDB0TqlwU076q0LNck1PFMJw-aFILKgR6Ju1BJaAf9DHWriEOJKFBWye_Q8KYN2elkroHCYh5cGmw6c3PmPGptLBgpnh4tVvvDv2IwYCl-s8_CUg9nkGznjJEHQ/s320/IMG_20230425_170920_095.jpg" width="320" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeSFlfwpuAi2xQnydWmJUutg4KkvfxwttA4htumsMUlREGSfB-BH83UXouJGtvp3E8OuCmxdSEJZ7v1EYZQnv0n3GA6Wa8i2Jv-FGuuUdSeBPuJDQuQqJu1MpRKfRQlI1X33MECRNLpjPAyvtyAI44hUuU1xkUnazetII-WPDuBNqjwwMJ-v88qA20iA/s10496/IMG_20230425_170948_461.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="10496" data-original-width="5904" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeSFlfwpuAi2xQnydWmJUutg4KkvfxwttA4htumsMUlREGSfB-BH83UXouJGtvp3E8OuCmxdSEJZ7v1EYZQnv0n3GA6Wa8i2Jv-FGuuUdSeBPuJDQuQqJu1MpRKfRQlI1X33MECRNLpjPAyvtyAI44hUuU1xkUnazetII-WPDuBNqjwwMJ-v88qA20iA/s320/IMG_20230425_170948_461.jpg" width="180" /></a></p><p><br /></p>Richard Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05631151486253265842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734523550620209708.post-28752309286371482352023-05-12T03:43:00.001+01:002023-05-12T03:43:15.548+01:00LE Velocette street spot<p>Seeing old bikes at shows and runs is nice but I always like to see them being used for what they were made for.

I couldn't ride this year but still ambled down to the start for a chat and a cuppa. A nice turnout of bikes on the first day without rain that we had had for seemingly ages. I feel the need to apologise for the quality of the pictures, I've gotten out of the habit of carrying my camera and have become increasingly reliant on my smartphone and, honestly, the picture quality is not near as good.
