Dave B (my bro) has phoned and ask me to post on his behalf and said it was good to meet up with fellow Carpedians - Pete7, Favs, Big Dave. Sorry if I've left others off. Said he will post pictures from the show during when he returns.

The show was as good as it always is and ot was good to see Big Dave and DaveB.
I have attached my pictures but here is a little taster of some gems.
CBX still looks pretty intimidating when you see what on ythe inside...
This incredible design ( haha) simehow failed to save the British Motorcycle from terminal decline
and surprised us all with its fixation on using as much pressed steel as possible in the most inappropriate places, and suspension that was minimal to say the least.....
Dave B's stand seemed to be doing good business when we passed ...
It seems modern Smiths stuff is vastly superior to the thrashing, wobbling needles of mid 1960s which showed from 100 mph (claimed and bragged about) to 65 mph ( not mentioned) and back again in the space of a split second
Overall a wonderful day, and I will be going to NEC for the Classic shwo ( bikes and cars) in November for another fix
Here is the full show :
Hope to see you old timers again soon
Pete
Oooops
HERE is the full show.....

Some good pics in there Pete, looks like a good day out.
MotoGuzzi Norge 1200GT. for Euro touring
Triumph Street Triple. For those hooligan moments......
Beta Alp 200. For falling off In muddy bits.
I suffer from C.D.O. It's like O.C.D. but all the letters are in the correct order, just as they should be.
