Featured Let's See Your Cut Off's From Your Glory Days

I always thought you Americans were a strange race. couldn't you find any wood for the bonfire.

 

Some nice winter projects there..first one appeals particularly!
Ken.

 

Talking bonfires! And Rallies!
Someone suggested the reason the Dragons are alway in less than prestige places, is because, in the past,
at different venues, anything that will burn (Within half mile radius of site) gets processed into kindling over the duration of the Rally.
Hence land owners reluctance to rent out ‘Nice’ places.

 

That could well be true Kenbro, It's that cold and damp, everybody gets a fire going. till the rain puts them out.

 

Not many triumph badges
.more of a Norton lad in my youth

 

Need to get on some rides and collect some buttons. Only got one patch now that I made from a points cover and a pocket from a pair of jeans I couldnt fit anymore.

 

Hi bogg, Looks like it’s only that mass of badges that’s holding that bit of cloth together.
Bet that has seen some sights and places. Very nice.
Ken.
PS. Hope this don’t upset ya, but, that Norton badge in gold with the wings would be ideal for some Honda riders, assuming it didn’t say Norton on top.

 

Can any tell me about the 59 club?

 

Very informative Privateer. I went to the Ace café on the A1 once in 1976 when I had a short spell working as a despatch rider. the place was manic, but some lovely old bikes were there, and even an old Ford Zepher. It was really interesting to hear how it all started. Cheers mate I love hearing about the history of places, and how they came about.

 

A great insight to the history of an motorcycling icon; thanks for posting @Privateer .....

 

Thanks for the 411 on 59

 

Mainly Nortons but not all with Norton engines

 

Is that a NorImp, Norton frame with a Hillman Imp car engine?

 

Oh she has a hole in her shorts........ poor girl .......

 

Yup complete with a down draft webber..got through a lot of head gaskets though

 

You need to leave the sowing to the missus mate.
At least then they’ll be on the right way
