Have got into the habit of doing all the outside stuff first, as it's usually too rammed in the hall early on to get a decent look at anything- far less photos. But while the missus was queueing for the Ladies popped in to a stall that usually has a few bits and scored this old bit of "Superdream". Buyer beware....  |

This Dream was for sale and already had a hundred quid knocked off- unusual for a Saturday but maybe early reality check for the seller. Still too expensive. The spares in the box is just a powdercoated swingarm...   |

Yes- it was a bit of a dog but nice to see an "S" plate survivor... |

Still outside and some SD conversions can look reasonable- isn't this a CRK kit? For sale at £3.5k mind- maybe we need to go into production on these?....   |

I circled back to this one as I thought I saw £450 on the sign, but was mistaken... Seller- "Come on mate- make me an offer- I don't want to load it back in the van?" Me- " Unfortunately not- is that your phone number at the bottom?"  |

Another example of how the cafe racer thing can be done well- as we've recently seen some nightmares on the forum. I really liked this- based on the Yamaha SR500 and displayed on the stand of the outfit that craft some really nice ally fuel tanks from scratch. Bike was £7k to buy though...  |

And that was it outside- there seemed to be less crappy tat laid out on the grass than usual, but there was the usual sellers with pretty battered and rusty bikes for sale. the bikes that never made it into a dealers showroom or even to Ebay. But they seem to sell.... Inside as by 3pm it calms down a bit. You always remember your first love and I saw this beauty from up on the balcony. Turns out it is actually up for a raffle prize so pass me the ticket book please? But all the guy on the stand could go on about was how this was "THE BIKE ONCE OWNED BY JAMES MAY". So what....   |

Bit battered- but CMSNL currently have only one of these left at 478 Euros, although sometimes come they up cheaper on Ebay. Labelled up by the seller as a "CB250 Rectifier"...  |
