[Coalboard]

Best turn out I've ever seen, usual heavy shower part way through the afternoon.
Mr Sneak and his very friendly guard dog turned up, overwhelmed with the place, bikes and winding engine.
Got the go ahead for him to whizz up the pit headgear, then rain started and no safety rope so came down,
he's going to go again and have another bash

Can you see him?





Rare limited edition BMW, I want one, now



East German MZ 125cc, late 1970's



Didn't make a note of what this was, quite a handfull



Strange Velocette LE's, 200cc watercooled, shaft drive. Used by the police in the 1960's



A brace of Honda Black Bombers, 450cc, hot property back in the 1960's good for about 125 mph



Royal Enfield, made in India now, not much changed from the bike of the late 1950's



Velocette, possibly 500 cc, late 1950's
