Classic Bikes for You Oldies?! ;)

BSA 650 Single I think!

Velocettle or Something, 500 Single, fish tail exhaust sounds amazing though!


They were lost, stopped to help out, ended up giving them directions.
One started fine, the other flooded the engine, and I had to push the guy down a hill to bump start the bike.. First time I have seen a road bike kick started!

Immaculate bikes, turned out the group they got lost from were just behind them!
Random I know, but maybe some of you guys like classic bikes

I'm marshalling for the classic racing motorcycle club next weekend at Darley Moor

Love classics as much as I love mordern bikes.

The sound and smell is awsome.

Possibly on this run?

I was going to be taking the tzr but it wasn't quite ready

There was a good do at Stafford at end of April for this sort of thing with a massive autojumble. Happens every year usually twice a year - next one is september / october

wow, I can't believe that..lol.
One of ours is a kick start, its very old but not as old as these two. I haven't mastered it yet. Would have to jump off the top board of the swimming pool for me to do it

And G your right about the smell, its funny cause it kinda lingers for ages, its not the same as a modern one.

Seen dirt bikes, field bikes etc kick started, but not anything on the road!
Seen ones with a kick start as a back-up, but never only a kick start!

My other half is a bit of an odd un, he likes bikes with 'charactor'. He has two SRX's but they are kicker only, he could have bought later ones with push buttons, but he likes to be awkward. At least if someone nicked it, they'd dump it down the road fed up trying to start it!

Its supposedly a few drops of castrol R in the fuel tank which creates the smell in the classics.

You should smell my tzr. Nobody gets lost on a run if they are behind me. They just smell their way there
