PHILLIP ISLAND CLASSIC 2012 - Leigh Goes Again

[pete]

Nice shots Leigh! Looks like Rookie had himself a fun ol' time there

Definitely some golden oldies there... and some old bikes too

If I ever get that Cucciolo going and in some sort of frame I guess I should probably take that down too hey?

[Leigh]

That you should, Pete.
It'd be a hoot.
That last photo with the old bloke in the blue helmet is a 1915 Triumph.
97 years old...

What him or the bike?

Yeah that'd be awesome... not sure if this one's gonna be too much to chew on or not but it'd sure be cool to get the motor running and find a suitable candidate to mount it on and go ride it... even if it is only at 40kmh...

Have you checked out the Pit Bits videos on mcnews.com.au yet? Some good footage there of the XR69 pre-crash and a lot of other good stuff...

[Leigh]

I don't think the bloke was that far behind the bike in the ages race.

Yeah. I trolled through those vids. Some good snippets in there.
You REALLY need to get down here next year.

Yes indeed... I need to start putting some subtle hints to the Mrs...

[850 Combat]

Looks like its running a little rich...

Charlie, just for you I will do my utmost to pull photos together tonight.

Here's a start..

[Buffalo Bill]

What good is it on a display stand, anyway…

Ooops,who was it on the forum who said"I really want one of those but I'll never afford one"(Buffalo Bill mabye??) well I guess now they can have one!

Not gonna happen, any bike's worth more for the parts, than complete.

Oh you callous man!

T.E. Lawrence's Brough Superior "Number 7"
Rollie Free's Vincent Salt Racer
Percy Tait's Triumph Trident "Slippery Sam"

As a starting point, I would say these bikes are worth more complete than as parts.
