The Austin Roadrunners held their 10th annual British and European Vintage Motorcycle Show on Sunday 6th June. I rode my 27 Flyer up there and took best pre ’65 and Best in Show!
This is a fairly casual event with spectator voting. There were about 60 entries in total, but only 5 in the pre ’65 class, including 2 Vincents, an Ariel Square 4, a Sunbeam and my Flyer.
There were hundreds of execelent spectator bikes, including a concours early Brough SS80 riden in by Herb Harris. Mr. Harris has one of the world’s finest collections of Vincents, including the ‘Rollie Free’ Black Shadow that did 150 at Bonneville.
Tempratures were in the upper 90’s on the way home. I did spit some water on the longer uphills, but I made it home fine. I will post a few photos shortly.

Dear Mark. Many Congratulations and well done for showing that these Scotts are real motorbikes with character for RIDING not for just living in a shed and taking to shows on a trailer! Perhaps if you give me some info on how far you travelled and a pic by email, I might interest some publication in it as a news item.
Kindest Regards

The ride was probably only 30 miles. There is a show called the Harvest Classic that is about 100 miles each way in November. My goal is to ride to that one.
Here is a photo of my bike next to some of the others in class:
