Hi everyone, i hope you are all safe and well.
As some of you are aware the April show that we were booked in to was cancelled, then rescheduled to August which has now also been cancelled. So Mortons are merging the 2 shows for October 10th & 11th.
Not invites as yet, but in sure we'll get a stand, therefore if anyone is interested please let me know, it would be good to get a list of attendees and bikes as we are normally sending details in late!!!!
And yes you might see my post on how to remove a cylinder head due to overzealous drilling, keep it clean please!!!!!
Regards
Gareth

Afternoon Gareth, count me in for the October show if you do get a stand, tracker will DEFO (🤣🤣🤣) be built to a showing point by then. Probably not running but built enough to resemble a bike. Plus it will give me the motivation to crack on with it if i know I’ve got the end goal in sight. 👍
Cheers, Michael
-
yeah, sign me up please, i'll try and have something running...
-
I would like to be considered for an entry .... dunno what as yet 🤔
-
Ian, you are always most welcome to attend after all it wouldn't be the same without you being there!
-
Just "bumping" this to the top again to hopefully keep the interest up. Fingers crossed that it all goes ahead. It will be an "unusual" show this time methinks. Looking forward to it, especially, this year.
Ian 😁
-
Yes will be a bit different, i just hope we get some interest, maybe some newbies??? Tats not that i don't like the regular crowd!!!!!
-
Hopefully I can be there.

Hopefully I can be there.
Hi Martin, good to hear from you, and hope you and yours are keeping well. I'd hope to attend too, and possibly camp for the weekend, but don't think a Jawa on the display stand would send out the right message...
-
Crazyfrog, we had a "non thumper " on the stand last year....it provided a topic of conversation throughout the weekend.... Why should your Jawa be any different 🙄
It would lovely to have some fresh faces this time around....as well as the regulars!!

OK, I'm up for it then!
-
Yes the more the merrier I say.... well so long as the Jawa doesn’t up stage my tracker 😉😉😉
Which by the way, now houses the FMX650 motor that myself and big bro bought from you Pete a few years back.
-
Do I have pics to post? Do I, do I...!😁
-
That makes 4 I think ....or it could be 5....or even maybe 6.
Gareth....what are you bringing apart from the bacon sandwiches 🤔
-
Well I’ll be bringing the jelly babies 👍
-
I'll be bringing my ms skorpion traveller, if I can get it sorted by then, moral of the story is don't buy a bike when drunk via text message without seeing it, oh and it wasn't what I thought i was buying. Sorry smudge, man it needed work!

Hi Pete,
I hope you are well. be good if you can make . Do you want to borrow a thumper?
-
Hi rockfogey, we've had non thumpers in the past so if you'e really keen im sure that would be ok. I haven't had confirmation on the size of stand yet, but hopefully will hear soon, as long as there's space then you are more than welcome.
Cheers
Gareth

i think that as well as the real ale chest, this year i should perhaps bring the rum bar.....
-
Bring it on John!

well if there was ever an insensitive to make sure my tracker is ready to show that’d be it 😉👍

Morton's have announced that the October show at Stafford is, so who's in?
I will do my best to get the stand and all I need is 4 - 6 other members who want to show their bikes. Usual rules- bike needs to be on the stand from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon, weekend camping pass is free, showers and toilets are on site.
Let me know if you are interested and I will start to compile the list.
Cheers
Gareth
-
Yes I'll be there....it just means I now have to go and buy a "Thumper" 😳🤔
-
Yes count me in Gareth, the tracker is defo up to the point where we can pop it on the stand. We’ll just have to make brum , brum noises as it’s not actually running yet 🤣🤣
-

What's your current preference, Ian?

Matt
One that has a single cylinder, starts, stops, doesn't leak water (easy if air cooled 😉) and changes gear reliably.... Apart from that....anything 😁
-
Mortons have sent through the October show application forms and are requesting details from clubs as to their requirements, sooo please confirm if you can make it and ideally provide your bike details.
I was going to ask for the usual stand on the balcony, would this be ok with you guys?

Absolutely fine with me Gareth, just be good to be going 🤞.... XBR street tracker, red tank with black centre stripe. If you require the frame number just let me know and I can forward to you. Fingers crossed it all goes ahead eh... cheers, Michael

Michael, does this mean it will be just a frame and tank? 😂😂😂
PS I will be there with a thumper.... possibly red tank and a frame with all the remaining accoutrements 🤔
-
One of Jawa's is still available 8f needed...

Only if you want me to 🤢

I'm sure Mor(t)ons and co have done all their sums, but I still have this feeling that the show MIGHT not take place. I think we all need to be prepared for that eventuality. I don't want to be a party pooper but in the midst of all this pandemic.....we have people who don't really seem to give a toss about it all.
Just my thoughts.....
-
I hear what our saying Ian, but i'd rather secure a stand now and reassess the situation nearer the time.
-
On reflection of the current uncertainty and low uptake i think best to withdraw from this years show. I dont think it will affect our position with Mortons going forward. We could towards the April show 2021???
Apologies for those of you who have started putting pans in place.
Gareth

Absolutely no problem Gareth, I genuinely appreciate all the hard work you must put into sorting the stand out and if you feel it’s not the right thing to do this year I for one understand and respect your decision. Plus as Ian mentioned in his earlier post, Morton’s themselves may still pull the plug nearer the day.... Here’s to next April I say 🤞🤞
Again thanks for the time you’ve already put in 👍
Cheers... Michael
Ps.. plus it gives me more time to get my house build finished off, which then means I’ll have more time to finish.... the tracker 😉🤘
-
I really can't see any way it'll go ahead tbh. The way things are going, I'd not bet on next April either :(.
