Bludge and me are there to blast the cobwebs out of the BMW....
It will be great to catch up with everyone as we have not done any meetings on the outfit this season...
Has anyone got a spare awning we can share? We have not got one now.. sold it and havn't replaced it yet.
Look out ... There stands a fair chance that there's going to be 4" of slack in them throttle cables by the time we have finished
Great to see there is a full grid of outfits there... Let's hope the weather is good & plenty of spectators...
We have quiet a few coming to watch for the weekend...

Rob,
Do you know anyone that can do a quick weld on Grant Tapsell's frame?
It's near Biggin Hill so can't that far from you guys.
Any chance it will be ready for Brands Ian?

I have a mig welder here at home, but there is Angel welding in Viking Way Industrial estate just round the corner from you Ian or next door to that is Thompson Tipper body builders, they have PLENTY of welders who I am sure would sort it for you. It's the fact you can not move the outfit that cocks things up. Have you tried the local paper for a mobile welder?
Whats up with your bike transporter??
If you can get it to Brands I would gladly put some mig weld on it but that isn't really the way to go with a proper classic... Needs to be braized doesn't it?

I think some of the joints are brazed but the changes we have made over the past couple of years have been done by Tig / Mig welding.

I saw Brian Gray's classic in the paddock at Brands this weekend, he'll be there next weekend on it. Got a Honda in it now.
