    Took three bikes (the MEC, VT250 and YB100 racer) to the show this year, but was a very light showing. I think most of the VJMC members are still burnt out from the national rally last month, but three of us turned up and each got a trophy.

    Unexpected (due to the rain) big crowds turned up and made it a successful show.

    Well done. Your collection is varied and impressive. Must have been interesting to hear what people were saying about the MEC and the Salt Racer.

    If it was an early Triumph, you would need a drip tray instead of the checkerplate.
