A big thank-you to all those that did turn out, especially those that rode to the Show - 'tha's not made of sugar' as I was told by an old Yorkshireman many years ago!

The South of England Motorcycle Show & Bikejumble: Sunday 10th March
Show Results available here (119KB .pdf), congratulations to all our winners. We had a great day, and thanks to everyone who turned out, especially all who travelled on two wheels on what was a chilly day! Thankfully we avoided the snow in Ardingly, hopefully everyone got home safely.
See the full Show Report by Rowena Hoseason, from our sponsors magazine, here.
Here is the 1978 750cc Triumph Tiger that was runner-up in the 1970-on class all togged up for the journey home. The owner tells us "This bike is a matching number UK model in Tawny Brown. This colour was used for one year only, so a handful of Tigers in that colour sold in the UK.
The bike had been restored using the original parts where at all possible and is used regularly including a thousand mile trip through France each year."
