That was Holty's mates flash.
I think that he is on this list.
Tony bought it and decided to leave the paint work as is.
Next to it was Brian's DBD32 then my M 20.
I gather that the black flash was yours Wilko ?
Looks like we need to do a MIE type T-shirt so that we recognise each other at rallys.
I was looking for Musky as it was "just down the road" from his place.
Steve was going to ride his Flash but Tony Howard sent him the wrong belt drive basket so the belt did not fit ( hense the Bonnie ) and Denny was going to bring the Big Valve out but it decided that it did not want to play, so he had to "rough it on the BDB 34.
Apart from me throwing a chain & Shane ( on the Jubilee Bonnie) loosing a blinker we had a pleasant uneventful ride down. three from Walla Wally & the other two from Sydney & Nowra.

Sorry I missed it. Still playing with carbs and sparks. Denny said it was great. He also spoke of a BSA rally up Newcastle way in Oct. I'm aiming for that.

Ok so that was your bike with the funny BSA stickers on the tank.
Got some shots of it some where.
All British at Myrtleford perhaps ?

Ok as Musky mentioned it, I will take the oppertunity to plug it.
6th BSA National Rally ; October 1- 3 ; Maitland Gaol NSW Australia.
<www.bsanational.org.au>.

After this year we next get to host the National in 2014 and being a state club will be going down your way.
I got in Denny's ear to do a short list of suitable sites so if you can think of some, whisper in his ear as well because I want to get the site chosen by the end of 2011.

T'was on the way to  Bathurst races. That bat is probably a piece of clothing drying out after a rainstorm! I bought that bike from Dave at Modak. I just gave it a rebore and pistons, and it kept partially seizing all the way because i was two up and the poor thing didn't get a decent run in before the trip, so it was knackered when i got back, so i threw some talcum powder up the pipes to give the exhaust a  nice grey to them for selling purposes! Dodgy!!
