Set up the stand at the show last evening, lots of nice machines, I got to push a Ducati racer for a bit, was told it was the actual bike the Mike Hailwood was going to ride in an earlier race to the TT, it was a round case NCR.
Spotted a couple of running shed finds, a pre war OHC Square four....never seen one.
Big stand with Commandos including a Hi Rider.
We have a BMW one with so far, 4 R90's including one with 115kms on it.
Photos to follow.
cheers, might see you there.:niceone:
