Time for a confession... For the first time in many years I had the hood up on my Morgan, as it was a kinda typical Scottish grey day with rain constantly threatening, and I was feeling a little less than robust... Jeez i had forgotten quite how much the mechanical noise seems to be amplified in what is a confined space with the hood in place.... Coincidentally, as a result of spending a wet MSCC weekend in Northumberland the hood never being down, I had decided to look at returning to a tin top sports car...!

Back to yesterday, only a short to visit a local Vintage club`s first event of the year in the form of an outdoor show, to which classics are also invited. In the line up there was a Model T ford, looking newer than it was ever likely to have done as it left the factory, but did not hold that against it as apparently on the very day of the show it was celebrating it`s 116th birthday...!

There were also some bikes, that might pique the interest of known bikers and former bikers such as myself..? The Indian belongs to a local "elderly" engineering craftsman, coincidentally it was he who carried out the bush replacement and reaming on my stub axles a few years back, I digress I suspect that the foot clutch on his Indian would be too much for my grey cells to adapt to these days..! As ever at shows one tends to look for faults when presented with perfection, thus I noted that the front brake on the Triumph was non- original fitment, being a twin leading shoe...Still a very nice bike and a pleasure both to see and hear it..

Hope to attach a few pics form the day.
