GRUMPY ! Those are Fabulous & Beautiful eye candy ! Where you there ?! I would love to have been there & gotten up close to those Sweet fine tuned Vintage race machines.
I certainly did enjoy the Italian MV "works of art" & all the rest...I want to go to a great rally soon !

It was a little heavy on BMW and Guzzi but did see a few Kaw Kwackers in there.Those large old two strokes were really great bikes to follow,always wondered what it would be like to really flip the switch on one of those monsters.

We only manage 3-4 MT125R's on the track at most events.  The boys on your side of the world manage a lot more. I have seen some great videos of MT's racing with the CRMC.

I wish you would send a few of the bikes over here.

pretty much all the Mt's raced at the crmc meetings are owned by the same bloke , perhaps you can talk him in to emigrating !
