As ever the Coventry Parade is a good excuse for a great collection of Vintage and Classic motorcycles to congregate along with their riders for a great day. The day was professionally orchestrated and organised by the amiable and ever helpful Geoff, Robert and support team. As can be seen from the accompanying images all shapes, sizes and ages of machines were represented at the splendid location of Coombe Abbey country park.<br />

Something for everyone at this years Flywheel Festival at Bicester Heritage, Vintage aircraft, cars, motorcycles and most things in between. We got to give our our bikes a good spin around a small circuit lined with straw bales and proper marshals. This is turning out to be a super friendly and enthusiastic event where the public can get close to all the various interesting forms of powered machines on display, My own moment was being able to get close to the wonderful Bristol Scout aircraft, apparently the only airworthy Bristol Scout in the world.<br />

This years theme for 2017 Founders day was American Motor Cycles, and these three machines deserved my attention because to my eye Indians always appear Beautiful, magical and charismatic Motor Cycles. Every year I am always amazed at how many old friends or new acquaintances I meet more often than not in centre of this universe that is the Founders Day Auto jumble. Again this year our section was very lucky to have been given space for our club stand, and after an early damp start we ended up with a very presentable display. And as the weather got warmer the stand became a drop in centre for Friends, helmets, jackets and of course recent Auto jumble finds.Kendohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06442830015659745461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144238576949549798.post-65666295376629805962017-08-09T04:50:00.001-07:002017-08-09T04:50:20.469-07:00My Favourite meeting place, Founders day.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If there is one thing I thought stood out at this years Founders day it was the amount of well turned out proudly displayed tiddler machines, most types of mopeds, Honda Cubs, Bantams and other small capacity machines. Is this a new growing trend or just coincidence? Maybe these smaller machines can give just as much pleasure riding and tinkering than larger machines that are becoming more expensive and possibly to a senior generation easier to handle in and out of the workshop...watch this space!<br />

And what a lovely day it was meandering around the finest Northampton shires country lanes. The run was super efficient and friendly with a very nice lunch stop ( plough mans lunch ) here are my fellow riders David Payne, Simon Dudfield and my self taking a post lunch a breather by my Cotton motor cycle.<br />

Just a few images to show some of the machines that caught my eye at this years Banbury run, and as always on this magic day a wonderful experience for those who love and crave the sights, sounds and smells of vintage motorcycles. Now I know the MV is not exactly vintage but I couldn't resist taking its photo, this is one of the those special machines that used to have me drooling over the pages of my old copies of 'Bike' magazine as a youth...and I think just as fab (70's word) in the full flesh as on the printed pages of that once influential magazine.Kendohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06442830015659745461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144238576949549798.post-84336171723678881092017-06-05T04:38:00.001-07:002017-06-05T04:38:14.489-07:00Beside the Seaside 2017<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These few images show the 2017 Coventry to Brighton run as organised by the Midland section of the VMCC. Starting out side the Coventry motor museum and ending on Brighton sea front. And following the route down south to the seaside with occasional stops for Tea and Cake, resting aching joints and of course checking maps to check we were not lost. We returned back home on the Sunday morning with Simon and myself enjoying a very pleasant and scenic course...and as usual I just follow Simon, he is after all a professional lorry driver and knows all the best scenic highways and byways back to base. All in all a fantastic weekend that was enjoyed by all and we even had decent weather and a big sit down meal and awards evening on Saturday night...perfect!<br />

This winter my dear old Cotton has a received a little bit of tinkering ready for the forthcoming riding season. First was a jolly good top end strip down and de-coke paying particular attention to the baked on Castrol 'R' witch tends to cover every external nook and cranny. Then the valves were given a gentle lapping in, this work was carried out on my substantial kitchen table away from the winter cold and gloom. These small important operations give a chap something to look forward to after a long working day. The kitchen and its table make a very cosy and convivial work shop for the smaller work, along with radio 4 for company. Other shed work involved new front brake and clutch cables, every tiny atom of stopping power is needed on these old bikes. I also repainted (brushed) the exhaust and silencer with stove paint purchased from a local country store...I do like a good country store! Suffice to say I had a very good ride on our Spring run along some fabulous Warwickshire country roads and lanes.Kendohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06442830015659745461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144238576949549798.post-30639959588424636212017-05-10T04:34:00.000-07:002017-05-10T04:34:22.251-07:00The first run of the year...its spring time!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Way back in the summer my friend Alan persuaded a few members to attend the Flywheel festival at<br />
Bicester Heritage near Oxford. And WOW what a great time we had, Vintage aircraft,cars, and of course bikes. It turned out to be a very friendly show with something for everyone, in fact the organisers even let us run our machines around a straw bale lined circuit. Above shows my Cotton with another visitors BSA. And the other picture shows Alan's wonderful black Ariel parked in front of a Catalina flying boat...not an every day occurrence.Kendohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06442830015659745461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144238576949549798.post-71328887899523993142016-11-22T04:38:00.000-08:002016-11-22T04:58:10.523-08:00Flywheel festival 2016<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For overnight visitors to the festival vehicle storage was arranged in the huge WW2 hangars found on the airbase, the original and enormous bomb proof doors had to be wound open with large cranking handles to allow vehicles to leave, just like this rather splendid Bentley on the Sunday morning.Kendohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06442830015659745461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144238576949549798.post-71797871991486821152016-08-17T05:08:00.004-07:002016-08-17T05:08:49.122-07:00A view from the Coventry Parade<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Coventry Parade is always a day to look forward to, with riders meeting in the morning at Coombe Abbey country park on the outskirts of Coventry and after a relaxing ride around the glorious country side a lunch stop with wonderful food on offer. This year was no exception for interesting motor cycles ranging from a 1911 Rudge Single speed to a mint condition early Z1 Kawasaki. At the top of the page is a 1913 6HP 900cc V twin REX made in Coventry, and how often do you see those?Kendohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06442830015659745461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144238576949549798.post-66006320112368164252016-08-17T04:55:00.004-07:002016-08-17T04:55:59.993-07:00A view from the Coventry Parade<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
