Newark Bike Bonanza June 22nd and 23rd

[BRIAN MARSHALL]

Hi, There is a big bike show this weekend on the Newark Showground, Nottinghamshire, on the A46 Lincoln road, just a couple of minutes off the A1. All sorts of vintage, classic, and modern bikes, and for full details just Google ‘Newark Bike Bonanza’. I am exhibiting my 1928 ‘works’ Isle-of-Man Senior TT bike, reg UB 1923, and originally WW 4461. It will be in the George Stephenson Hall, exhibit number 33.

Do you mean 22nd & 23rd?

YES ! Sorry…. (I’ve amended it now)

I’ve just got back from putting my Scott in the display, and found Jack Broadhurst’s 1925 Two-Speed Super Squirrel in the next but one position to mine.

Sheelagh Neal was there too, with Ossie’s old blue sprint sidecar outfit, also Ken Thirtle, but he was showing his very rare Reynolds Runabout, a strange beast with a two-stroke Liberty engine and sideways-facing pillion bucket seat, rather than his 1929 Scott. I managed to win Second Prize in the Private Entry Class with 28 TT4.

Well done! It was a shame I was busy over the weekend. Its hardly far to go for me and sounds like it would have been a good day!

The trophy was given to me by John McGuinness, who laps the Isle-of-Man at DOUBLE the speed that the fastest ‘works’ Shipley Scotts ever achieved. Eighty five years of progress….
