You can speak to JD if you have a spare hour or two and are prepared to leave with a bike that you didn't actually want, but he talked you into......or you can just go to thebar with him; which isn't far away. Or you can just ignore him... :)

It might be another miss Malc unless I can get there both days. It's not as if we've never met though, is it. ;D

OK Sam I was going to offer to buy the teas too.
I still have to return from Ohio though, due to land on the Thursday morning which will give me Friday/Saturday to get over jet-lag.

Just a North Gloucester meeting so he can get his TT signatures. But Thruxton is quite a rare venue and fast and he's not raced there before, so it should be a good laugh if it stays dry?

That was New Jersey Sam, that bike is now in the UK and family in Cleveland Ohio.
Been looking at some bikes again here, passed on a 1966 CL77, looking for a cheap off-road, they have about 4 acres of woodland for me to play in.

I've never been to Thruxton, it was one of the top circuits back in the 50/60s, all the big endurance races were held there.

I knew they had moved but was unaware that the CL had found a home in the UK. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) you might have told me though ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) I can't be expected to remember everything. ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's a fabulous place Sam, first went in the 60's to the 500 miler, been many times over the years with mate racing, first meeting he turned up with a used tyre, scrutineering said he needed a new tyre this place will rip it to shreads.

its normally more than an hour or two ,  if he has made a 750 frame i probably wont need much persuasion , on second thoughts if i ignore him i will save a fortune !

Not a bad show by all accounts but I spent a few £s that I didn't want to ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Simon#42, H2Eric and myself met up with Tony (cobra) and Peter (hondafreak) at the Davies Motorsport stand.
The 500 four race bikes produced by the team are really top notch and a new chassis to take the 350 four was on show but not quite finished. 8)
We parted company after that and despite a few atempts to try to meet up again, we made our way back to our cars and left for home. I'm sure we'll do it again next year and try to get a bit more organised. ;D ;D ;D

Hey Sam was a good day for me too, always seems to be something different to see. I spoke to Peter on JD's stand also. Really enjoyed listening to Wayne Rainey, he seems a really nice guy. I might go Saturday next time so I can meet up with you.
