Barn Owl VJMC

[sanderz]

Thanks for comments lads

Jay - That Rudge was mint, I know nothing about Brit bikes but really, really liked that. Starting to appreciate them more and more these days.

David - Ive realised I missed one (several actually) sorry about that your little Zed is a real credit ......next time, next time.....

Garry - Best Kwak, excellent! A worthy winner

Dave - I wasn't there on a Zed on the old used and abused ZXR750, was that yours parked near to it in one of the pics? The RD was very, very nice .......takes me back to when I had hair...... puffs away on pipe and gazes at the ceiling

Until the next time

No not mine, think the guy on that one turned up with Geoff Parr. Mine was parked down by the vans at the far end of the same photo

In that first photo you even managed to get a pic of that devilishly handsome young man along with his scabby bike

As it's a VJMC event, I supported this with my "South Cheshire" section members.
After meeting up in Nantwich, we headed for the event at the Barn Owl in Lymm. It's a great little pub stuck right on the canal side, though as with every year they've held it there, they again failed to put out any signage for directions. So many people every year fail to find the pub as it's positioned down an almost broken road.

Firstly Mr Predator arrived....




A really nice FZX700 import



Agree with Sanderz, that black RD sure is tasty!



Another nice RD350A


Bling


My mate Jim's 78k mile Z550 which won runner up for best Kawasaki


A couple of old Ducks...



A couple of Yam XJ's (one turbo)



A general pic....


Twin twins



Plodder


Z1OC members bikes



An effort to replicate something that was once great.....and failed (but it was also ear splitting loud)



Various selection of bikes that were not in the show.
Nice little ZL400


Jota


Well I like it!


My mate Dominic's extremely mint XT500 (which is for sale so if you're interested let me know)


GPz500


Chevvy Impala Pick-up



750 Bottle


Very nice RG500



550/5 Nonda


Nuvver Yammy stinkwheel


Rrrrriinnngggg..adinggg...dingggg....adingggg...


Now then, this was VERY intriguing. A 50cc water cooled racer with a strange gearbox between the engine and rear wheel. It only had a 4-speed box until this device was fitted to give 8 speeds in total.




No comment.


My mates GL1000K0. Original mileage shown (with my clock faces)



Another "general" shot


Couple more Nonda's



Nice GT380J


There's no denying that this little 125 was absolutely mint!


And the last pic, which won "Best In Show"

[Mark Stratton]

Love that MBX125. Takes me back. Bought one brand new in 84/85, completed the running in of 1500 miles in about 4 days and terrorized the village on it where I lived for a few years after that

I put an Allspeed pipe on mine which made it go like a scolded cat (well it felt like it at the time ). Wish I still had it just for blasting around on.

Nice pics Will!
I liked the race-replica Nonda - I'm sure that's been at the Ton-Up day
at Jacks Hill Cafe (13th July this year if anyone interested).

(btw Will, I've found some magazines featuring your S+S Saxon Turbo,
mind if I scan the articles and post them to share with the forum?)

[KeithZ1R]

Thanks for sharing the pics All, particularly liked the CB550 and the MZ trophy both of which Ive campaigned daily as total transport back in the day
