Hi Baz, I saw your other post yesterday. I would love to have been there to see those MZ's Ring-a-ding-ding (@100MPH) around Lydden. How was the day? Did you get any snaps?Today I went out on my commando to watch a couple of mates that were racing in the "lord of lydden" racing at lydden hill
I was the only one out of 8 of us riding an old bike British bike!!
I'd like to thank the bike for getting me there and back without a hiccup
The MZs were good actually as was all of itHi Baz, I saw your other post yesterday. I would love to have been there to see those MZ's Ring-a-ding-ding (@100MPH) around Lydden. How was the day? Did you get any snaps?
I am glad you thanked the bike on your return home safe, I always do when I get home a pat on the tank and thank you for a great day out, it has never let me down so works for me but I do this with all my bikes.Today I went out on my commando to watch a couple of mates that were racing in the "lord of lydden" racing at lydden hill

Baz,The MZs were good actually as was all of it
Two of my mates were racing in the desmo due class
The 8-13 yr old kids were amazing on their 70cc ?? race bikes
The sidecar racing was brilliant
And the scooter racing
I didn't really take many photos but there was an A50 outfit and a triumph twin outfit that I really liked
There were some superb outfits thereBaz,
As a sidecar fan I loved the workmanship on those 2 rigs!
If you stole the money why would you go to the trouble in returning the wallet, like you say some folks, at lease you feel good in yourself doing the right thing, being so drunk and not remembering anything he prob spent the money on getting so drunk, good on you for doing the right thing.Last wallet I found was sodden wet at the side of the road. Took it home, couldn’t find any ID but there was a golf club membership card. Contacted them and blah, blah, eventually got hold of the guys Mum. The guy was 18 and had been out a few nights prior and got so drunk he didn’t remember getting home, and had lost his wallet.
The Mum did thank me, but kept going on and on about how she ‘couldn’t understand how all the cards were in there but the cash had gone‘. Seemed clear to me she was basically accusing me of taking it. The 18yr old wallet owner never even bothered saying thanks.
Some folks eh ?!

I had an oif lightning when I was a teen-agerBaz,
Funny you should post these piccies, as I've just put down the second book by Peter Crawford about BSA A50/A65 developement & racing. The very same timing cover & Lucas points housing is shown. If any of you are interested in the unit BSA twins I can thoroughly recommend both books which seem to be amazingly well researched, & are very hard to put down once you start reading.
