    Distinguishing Brass Monkey badges?

    Right I have a wall of the bloody things, and as they do not have the year on them I have marked mine with pen on the backs many years ago... but I might have them all muddled up.

    Whos in the know, whos memory still functions... what colour outer rim and badge center matches the correct year?

    I do know that the:
    round badge is from the 80's
    ten sides is from the 90's
    sprocket shaped from 2000
    cheers DD

    He just likes you because you both spell the same
    The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?

    1990 10th anniversary badge

    Hi Dangerous,
    I know this is a really long shot, but see you have a wall of badges & just wondering if you would consider selling the 1990 10th anniversary one? It has special meaning to me & unfortunately I lost it while attending the last rally recently. I have a "I survived the night" badge from the last (40th) & final rally I could swap if interested??

    Cheers
    Fiery

    Did you ride there on an actual motorcycle?
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    How did you get the 40th "I survived the night" badge? Where were they being handed out cos I never saw any thing of that nature.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
