    One for Peter Laidler and then some

    Well Peter you like Trumpies and all that MGB stuff so heres some pics of some trumpies at Wanaka adjacent the transport museum at the Warbirds of Wanaka site I reckon you are the type that likes a Red one not Britishicon Racing Green.
    Besides Red ones go faster, though ironically they are all displaying the signature of I have been here oil spots (A fellow rider had a trumpie whom I used to ride with when I had my Z-900 and we always knew where he had parked!).

    POSTSCRIPT;

    I forgot the basket case WLA Harley engine sorry guys, and yes PL I remember eons ago you said you have managed to stop your Norton spotting the pavement still I dare say you would not wish these beauties were in your garage!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Wasn't ever a Triumph man. I enjoy the growwwwwwwl and gentlemanly riding position of the later Nortons especially the 750's/Commandos. Lots of nice restored Bonnies and Tigers around these parts. They seem to meet at Milletts, the local Farm shop complex here. Just been called by wife to go to the pub..............

    Incidentally, my friends son (he is ex 6 RAR just before us in SVn) is a BIG bike stunt rider in Oz. Matthew (Matt) Mingay. He's using big heavy Harley's now after Suzi Bandits for a couple of years
