FULLMOON CAMP KABAK
Forty years ago hippies travelling to Afghanistan and India camped at Oludeniz on the Turkish coast, back then before it bacame pizza and Sky Sports for the masses there was nothing there but a beach.
A pony tail in a colourful waistcoat told us to carry on along the coast road until it ran out then walk down a path to find Fullmoon Camp. You rent a little garden shed perched on a cliffside, eat homegrown food and peace out on a platform overlooking the sea. No golden arches at Kabak.

NEW IMPERIAL NEW DELHI
Bought this with the intention of doing something with it but as i have turned over a new leaf and am no longer flitting from one thing to another its up for grabs.
It is a New Imperial 1928, Model 2, 350cc (all this is what i am told, the only evidence i have is that the engine says New Imperial on it). Engine turns and has compression, gearbox selects OK, wheels go round. Frame, forks and bars look like they have been stove enameled and are tidy. No documents.
It will cost you £1,000 which is the price of 2 nights at the Imperial Hotel, New Delhi. Room only. Offer ends when Ebay auction starts (next week). tri650@live.co.uk

DRAG BIKE TEST
Nothing in this photo can convey the pain and discomfort being experienced by the rider. You dont need big balls to ride the thing you need no balls.
The oil filler cap falls off, the gear linkage is shit, the gear and brake pedals need surgery, the clipons need lifting as high as they will go, carbs poss need bigger main jets, breathers need plumbing, i need a cricket box. Oh and for some unexplained reason the gearbox keeps moving.
Valuable lessons, thanks very much to the land owner, you know who you are.
KEEPER
I always build bikes telling myself i am going to keep them for ever but after i've ridden them about a bit i end up selling them on and building something else. Well thats all changed.
The new mag drive still hasnt turned up from Hunt's so i stripped the top end and sorted out doing all the jobs i was saving till the end of the year. Cure the pushrod tube oil leaks, head off for new guides to the Cylinder Head Shop, fit a new rear drum/sprocket to raise the gearing, try some TT pipes, different gearbox and timing covers etc, should be back on the road for winter.
But i havent sold it !

SCARBOROUGH SPEED WEEK
This is the day when a nice family who bought a nice house on Mountside, a nice quiet part of Scarborough, realise they may have dropped a huge bollock.
Hillclimb today, classic and modern, followed by a Sprint tomorrow and the Cock of The North Continental 2 day road races at the weekend. Not sure why it is Continental, i think you get a croissant inside your programme.
Photo is Mac Hobson in the early 60s at the top of Quarry Hill, it has been resurfaced since then !
If you havent been try a lap with Keith Pringle.

DRAGSTALGIA. SANTA POD.
At midday on Saturday things were looking grim but amazingly by 3.00 we had racing and blue sky which continued right through to the flame burnouts at 9.30. The weather kept many people away but it was great to walk about with the place almost ourselves. Sunday was good until a late afternoon downpour and there were more spectators about. What you missed if you stayed at home was the first running of what will become one of the biggest events in British Drag Racing.
