There's certainly some money's worth there, Dave. I was particularly thrilled to spot the old MZ TS in among the 'shinies'. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. Thanks for this great coverage 👍
Some real beauties in there, Dr. D.! Judging by their screen time, you must be as partial to Nortons as I am. Not many (any?) BSAs in the show? Can’t imagine a chrome gas tank reflecting all sorts of sun in your eyes is very pleasant. Thx for taking us along! 🏍👍🏍
Yes!! That's what you call some real nice bikes Mr D. Not many 'Plastics' on show at all & Classics in every sense of the word. Great video. 👏👏👏 Awrabesht mate. Al. 😉👍
Excellent video, have you ever done the Sands and Motorcycles event at Leighton Buzzard Railway, Pages Park, Billington Road, Leighton Buzzard. if you like classics they have about 800 bikes turn up lots of classics, some customs, general road bikes and trikes i did it in 2018 and was very impressed, i have a video of it on my channel its on the 29th September this year http://www.buzzrail.co.uk/static/sandmotorcycles.html
Duke, I don’t know if you’ve heard this before, but you have quite a close resemblance to Drew Pritchard the antique scrounged / reseller. Great vid about the classic bikes though. I enjoyed that. Australia
Wow ! Thank you for sharing this. The Mike Hailwood 250cc six is a piece of art. In its heyday, it must have seemed like the most incredible motorcycle. In 1963 my parents move our family from Great Britain to Australia so I never got to see this race, or The Beatles play. Never mind. In 1976 I was at The Bathurst NSW track on Mount Panarama for the weekends bike racing. When I looked at my race schedule pamphlet I noticed one M. Hailwood mentioned, riding a Yamaha TZ 350. Nah, it opulent be ! Mike the bike had been retired for about ten years. But sure enough it was the very man. Word started to spread of his ‘open house motel room in town. So I keenly watched the master ride the TZ to a fifth place, I seem to recall. Within what seemed just a few weeks, Mr Hailwood was back at the Senior TT on the now famed Ducati and history was again made. Shortly after, I bought myself a big Ducati. But it wasn’t the SS it was the Darmah and all these years later, I still have that bike. It’s going through it’s fourth nut and bolt rebuild by me. The wiring loom I made from scratch in 1980 has been ultra reliable. That became necessary when my starter motor came on line at 4,300 rpm going down a freeway. The electrics were fried. It’s been a wonderful bike and there have been man more, but the Ducati always stayed. Now I’m seventy and my daily ride is a Harley Davidson Softail Heritage Classic 103. Love a Vee twin. Cheers from Australia

Smashing array of manly metal
I use to know someone who rode an MZ 250, boy oh boy did we take the piss out of him, if only I knew then what I know now.
