Today is the last day of the show with the next group of volunteers doing there shift on the pre75 and pre85 display stalls.
The bikes on display are from all different manufactours -from the Little Carabella to the big 4stroke Hondas,CCM's,RM's,KTM,SC's,Husquavrna,Kerr's and all else in between.
My shift on Saturday was busy from about 11am-2pm,well talking mostly with exriders from all over the world..Hard work but someone has to do it
I met a gentleman from The Scottish Scrambles Club whom comes over here to get relief from the cold Scottish winter.He had caught up with Vic Allen a few weeks ago in Europe and Vic mentioned how he enjoy his time in West Aust for the 15th Anniversary last year.
This Scottish gentleman also told me of his
first brand new bike,(while we looked over a BSA at the show).He washed it when he'd returned from the bike showroom floor in his driveway.When he started it, to take it too the back yard the throttle got stuck on and he and the bike hit the brick wall side on and broke his new Goldie :'( :'( He says he still looks for that bike/head to this day, if you ever find a BSA motor with about the fourth fin left side missing,its his
The Scotsman also told me of the diminishing pre60/65 bikes at club days in the UK and neighbouring classic events.They may get 6-10 on a good day.Said to think this looks to be a world wide issue :'(
Also I chatted to David Bowman in the below picture whom helped build Rhind Tutt's Wasp work shop/sheds and swung for him when David was a young 19.
If ever you get an opportunity to man a stall-try not to miss it.Legends can and do come out of the woodwork to gaze over the old dirt bike.
ps anyone know a Andy Dykes has a Bultaco 360cheers A
