Short Summary of day
Vincent Red or Black - That is the question?
Or WOOD a more natural colour be appropriate
But the bits like these were really interesting
Really its good to preserve these machines but criminal not to ride them

There is a grey Thunderbird there with some bespoke panniers that fit the profile of the bath tub which I would love for my 3TA

Assume you mean the 1/4 circle ones - last half decent set I saw went for about £250 on ebay - yes I like them - It will be interesting if Craven put them back into production, probably not as they were steel not fibre glass
What I like about these is how they fit the profile - see top shot below

Agree they do look good.Days are over when you'd see a pair of Rodarks going cheap.Mate I was with not realy interested in the old Brit bikes so we didn't stop long but I've been twice recently.Fancy Mr.Silvers place for a visit in near future.

Yes - I remember the Beeza's very well and spent much of my time drooling over them whilst gathering my thoughts about life and what everything means - odd how an old bike does that to me.....it felt like being in 'church' to me - a place of worship.
One thing that I did remember was a Rickman Motorcycle - had no idea they made bikes.....thought they just made accessories. From memory, they had a Rickman Police bike there from the 1970's.
