COTTON CANDY
Bought some cool vintage lids this morning from a local old guy who is moving house. There are a couple of Bell Stars, a Cromwell Corker and a lovely old S.Lewis leather piss pot (these were originally made for parachuting). I was lucky to find them, you are lucky you cant smell 'em.
-------------------------------------------
Selling these Star (formerly Lake) flatslide carbs, 29mm, were on Triumph 650. Did intend keeping them but i could do with the funds towards the Joe Hunt mag i bought on eBay last night. Sorry if i outbid you but some things you just gotta have.
They're not cheap but if your boat is floating email me on tri650@live.co.uk Can post worldwide.

BIG STU AND A CAST OF (TL) THOUSANDS
Local bloke Big Stu Mills competes in hillclimbs on his modded TL1000s, here is is on the Dalby events last year. Either he isnt wired up right or he is very talented, i suspect it is the latter. He will be out this weekend at the two day festival of speed at Olivers Mount, Scarborough. Below are a few pics of bikes at the Mount last year just to show you dont have to be a suicidal lunatic with 130bhp to compete (helps though).
You can find info on this weekend and all other Auto 66 hillclimbs and sprints by clicking
here
The photos ive used are all by Photocet there are loads more from last years events , well worth a look.

MAGAZINE MEN
My regular visitors will probably know that Guy Bolton produces GKM, a superb magazine dedicated to vintage American and British custom motorcycles, if you dont already you should subscribe Here.
You may not know that his brother Adam, freelance journalist, photographer and regular contributor to GKM is launching his own magazine to further his (and your) devotion to Italian vehicles, called Italian Motor
Both give a lot to pursue their passions and deserve your support, stop reading other peoples and buy your own !
Photo shows the boys offering "constructive critisism" on someone else's mag at the weekend, I hope it isnt yours!.

SPEEDWAY STARS
A couple of years ago Chris and i went for a day riding speedway at Kings Lynn, if you want excitement, fear, anticipation, bruises, aching limbs and a good lunch its bloody great. We had a top day out taught by Aussie rider Kevin Doolan, riding first on Chinese dirt bikes followed by 125 Speedway trainer bikes then full on 500 Jawas.
Blue helmet me, green helmet Kev Doolan, oh you'd guessed !
One guy in our group had only ever ridden a twist and go so there are no excuses, the best £200 you will ever spend on motorcycling. Details

PETER SNR
This little chap is my old man looking mildly shocked to have been caught wearing his sisters socks, shoes and PE bag, or perhaps it was his turn to clean out the fish. Mary, his sister, entertained the US military during WW2 and later became my aunt, she is still around but is now a bit short in the marble department. Pic taken around 1927.
