Stafford M/C Show

Post by JohnLay »

It is the Stafford Motorcycle Shoe this weekend, is anyone going? I am taking my little LF 250 for it's first public outing. On the British Motorcycle Riders Club (Oxford) in the Prestwood Hall, next to Bonhams. Call and say hello if passing.

Im going on Saturday - the first time for many years. I've got my shopping list ready mainly for Matchless bits and any goodies for my recently accquired 1930 350 Cotton :)

Both Ariels seem to be behaving of late so need nothing that I'm aware of - unless I happen to spot some new oil pumps. I'm also under strict instruction to keep away from the auction. Can't think why.

Thanks, Tony. Can't wait to get out on it. A 1929 road tests reckons its 20hp (same as a new Enfield 350 - thats progress for you) and should be good for over 80mph! Itll be treated far more gently now.

Had two Ariels on our stand, a KH and a LF along with 6 other machines. The Ariel Owners Club it would seem was not present.
