Trip to Ellenroad Steam Museum

Li and I carried out Plan B after the Wortley Top Forge event was cancelled  and went to Ellenroad. After paying homage to the big Mill Engine and indulging in tea and cakes we had a look at what the Vincent Owners Club had brought.. Top Picture is Vincent with Watsonian Torpedo Sidecar, next is 3/4 rear view showing that magnificent 1000cc engine. Third is a 500cc single Cylinder Vincent ‘Comet’ ,a HRD Vincent going by  tank badge.

A Grand Day Out Grommit.

CAFE RACER Quote:— “Today’s Triton is a bonafide UK sixties built Cafe Racer from a fellow Melbourner, Pete Ingram. Pete’s Triton came into his possession with the sad passing of his father and although Pete had previously put an end to his riding days the Triton had him back in the saddle again…and it’s easy to see why!” From HERE

Teeny Tiny Cafe Racer Ex-Bert Fruin, Isle of Man TT 1962 Fruin Dartela 50cc Six-Speed Racing Motorcycle This unique little machine was built in Middlesex by independent engineer H L ‘Bert’ Fruin. To get around the limitations of a three-speed box at the Isle of Mann, Fruin designed a longer frame and fitted a specially-modified Albion two-speed ‘overdrive’ gearbox to this bike. He took it to the inaugural 50cc ‘Ultra Lightweight’ TT in 1962, but dropped out on the first lap with engine troubles. From HERE

Since the days of Geoff Duke they have tried to make racing leathers a closer and closer fit. Well you can’t get a closer fit than these. From HERE
