I was right across from you in the Vincent booth.

My two helmets. The first is a Cromwell pudding basin from the 1950's. Strictly for show. The second is my Davida Classic Jet. This is my regular lid. Googles are Halcyon's from Walridge Motors. Right-shift Ronnie

The Indian is a board track race bike. The handle bars would be the 1918 equivalent of clip on bars. These bikes had no clutches, no brakes and hit speeds of over 100mph on wooden tracks made of sideways 2x4's. The bikes were towed behind another bike to get them going. The races were...

Damn I like the black Bristol jacket.

Do what I did...get a new wife who is more sympathetic to the cause. She has more bikes than I do now. Of course, you may like your current wife, in which case this plan will not work.

I like the picture of the Vincent on the bench the best...........lol. Top 3 questions I was asked about this bike during the show 1. Why does it have 2 sprockets? (different gear ratio...used for side car hauling....wheel is reversable) 2. How much is it worth? (make me an offer) 3. Where...

Hey, you pasted your head over mine.

I am looking for a used bikini fairing for my '99 Monster...genuine Ducati...not aftermarket. I believe they were all the same up until '00 model year. Prefer red but I am not picky...I can always get it painted.

I have a booth...Vincent Owners Club....Hall 4a. I will be there all three days. Drop by and introduce yourselves. I will show you the mechanical engineering marvel that a Vincent twin is. Pretty cool stuff. Best time to go to the show is anytime Friday or after 4pm on Saturday. Saturday...

A pair of new Amal Concentric Mk1 carbs for my Bonneville.

Hmmmm.....sounds like no display at this January Show. Shame. Ok my opionion...the traditional cafe racer was British (Gold Stars, Tritons, Dunstall Nortons) made until the early '70's...the stuff you would have found at the Ace in London. The image everyone thinks of when you say cafe racer...

Well....I have a booth already (Vincent Owners Club) but if you need help getting a DTT booth let me know. I would be glad to arrange it with Bar Hodgson. It's free. You guys just have to decide if you want one and who is going to run it. Cheers Right-shift Ronnie

1972 Dunstall Norton 810 MkII Before and After

Dougie (CVMG VP and booth organizer) put the oil pans under all the Brit Iron as a gag more or less. I had the pleasure of returning the Z1 back to Uxbridge last night. It's all orignial, very clean and he rides it too! Sorry I missed all you guys. I pulled the graveyard shift Saturday...

This Vincent Black Shadow and the Triumph Bonneville are mine. Common theme with the Brit bikes?? Right hand shifters (with the exception of the '75 Commando that had a US government mandated left shift). The handlebar controls are the same as any other bike. The Indian on the other hand...
