Warbike Project
So much information
and not enough time. We are just about on target for publication and thanks to
our friends at Brooklands Museum we have seen a lot of fantastic images
relating to the racing circuit before and during WW1. We now have to sort out
the images from the National Archives and pay a visit to the Imperial War
Museum and even try to get to the RAF Museum, The Royal Engineers Museum and
the Vintage Motor Cycle Club Archives!!!! Maybe we are not on schedule after
all.
Kempton Park Classic Motorcycle Show
We were at the show
supporting the Brooklands Motorcycle Volunteers with transportation of the BSA
Empire Star and Douglas that were featured in the April Edition of Classic Bike
Guide. There was lots of interest in the bikes....even more when the Heavens
opened on the Auto Jumble. It looks like
there is a lot of support for the forthcoming events at Brooklands especially
Ton up Day on 6 July. Also promoting this event was the London Ace Cafe who
will be leading a ride out from the north circular venue to Brooklands on the
Day.
Brooklands was well
represented at the show which also included a VMCC Brooklands Section Stand and
Historics @Brooklands Auctions who were promoting their Auction at Brooklands
on 7 June.
Despite the jest
above the Auto Jumble was mainly dry and we got time for a swift look round.
There seem to be more and more bikes for sale on the stands, some of which
looked like worthwhile projects, or maybe they were abandoned winter projects!
