I have little idea at this point of exactly what will convey me to Sparkford, but right now my only roadworthy machine of suitable age is my trusty 1975 Honda 400/4.  Will I be alone on two wheels or will a veritable phalanx of wannabe-bosozoku turn up alongside me in a misty haze of revs, oil smoke and rattling camchains? And once there, what's the view of our glorious leaders? Is a bike area for machines of suitable retro-ness to much to ask for or will we be banished to the dusty hell of the moderns car park? And will an MOT and a bike licence secure us immortality on the sprint track or are we destined never to show a clean set of pipes to our slower car-driving competition? The air-conditioned serenity of my Polo could yet prove irresistible. |

David and i are yet to discuss bikes. I have my opinion, I'm sure he has his - we are yet to talk and make a decision.
I feel quite safe in saying that bikes WILL NOT be going round the sprint track though.

I've got a dawes kingpin folder of a venerable vintage which has TWO out of THREE of it's sturmey archer gears available for use.
Rockin'
I will happily race anyone else with a similarly clapped out old bike - ideally some portion of it must be held on with paperclips.
Lemon gin probably a plus.
