all i can say about the club stand was STUNNING

I DONT THINK THER WILL EVER BE A GATHERING OF EVERY MODEL OF H1 EVER MADE LIKE THIS AGAIN

Got to agree with you there

What a display

I know I am biased , but I thought it was easily the highest quality stand at the show

Just got back from Stafford. Big congratulations to Richard, Malc, Gary etc and everyone else who helped with the organisation, the stand looked the bollox

I don't think any other owners club could take a single model of bike with so many variants and colours and get one of each together in one place 35 odd years later, just the amount of people constantly around the stand just gazing

compared with the others shows how iconic and well remembered the triples still are and the dedication we all have to try and keep them alive.

Once again, well done guys.

Absolutely agree. The word stunning is spot on.

The proof;

(Struggling with the grey bike, grey background, grey carpets???)

(Was this ever a UK bike?

)

Tried to get the whole stand in from the balcony but struggling.......;

This one shows you, everything is moving.

Apart from the bikes and the blonde in the foreground.

Then finally this one appears to work. (Must take the tripod next time.

)

Would you buy a used bike from these men?

Sorry I did not get all the bikes, around the outside of the stand, but the crowds were all over.

Well done to all concerned, we were watching the stand come together from up on the balcony and were very impressed.

I've made (constructive I hope) comments in the past that your stand has sometimes looked a little 'busy' - the less-is-more look worked far better this time. Best stand of the show we thought, and voted that way.

I particularly liked the lighting units, sure I've seen something similar somewhere before...

Posh Pete · Post by **Posh Pete** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 1:02 pm

The lights were brill. What one can do with a bit of guttering, some wire and a few spots. They did a treat.

What about the carpet tiles though...!!! They have become part of my life now..

. They are still outside the front door, covered and in the dry under the extended porch.

I dont want to move them anywhere else as I need to keep them close to the drive for loading and un-loading. I decided to build a chest 0.5m x 0.5m x 1.5M that will also be a bench to sit on. That will do the trick...!!!

Another job I need to get done soon before I can finish my workshop and get back onto my restoration projects.

Also Malc's four wooden boxes added a 'Z' axis to the stand in the centre for the three H1's.

Thanks to all the team - it was obvious a lot of effort had been put in by them for the club.

Here's some pics of triples & a few others I hope that are of interest

Spotted Kim's H2B elsewhere

Didn't note who's this was

...or this

One of these rough H2s sold, priced at for £4995 !!!

Fizzie ! (one of the early SS's)

Cobra 500

Early TZs & earlier TR

Katanas - you wait for one then 5 come along
(guess some people might have been saying that about H1s)

YDS-not-very-many - maybe YDS3 ?

Similarly, 350 YR2 or 3...

Kawasaki A7SS (350 with high pipes ...or was it the 250 A1SS - didn't look closely enough)
(Hope you saw this one Malc - it was on a Yamaha stand behind the club's H1 stand)

S2Gerald · Post by **S2Gerald** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 8:58 pm

H2c was Charlie Owen's. Kawasaki on Classic Yam stand was a 350. I'm not an expert on the 250 Yams, but YDS3 seems ptretty close.

I'm led to believe that the SS 'fizzie' was Charlies also

Can't believe I missed that, same date as my last sidecarcross meeting of the year, nothing on for months now.......
Can't see all those triples being in the same place at the same time for a long time.
Fantastic pictures.
