West Middlesex July Report
There has been little to report over
the last few months what with the
indifferent weather & some of us
without bikes to go out on. Not that
there hasn’t been bikes parked
outside The Star on a Wednesday
night even a few runs & trips to the
Ace.
There was a darts & pool match at
the Star with West London Harley &
sad to say we were annihilated, one
even walked away with the raffle
winnings just to add insult to
injury, but a good night all the
same.
22/6
Amanda & Giles attended the Banbury
Run. Some fantastic bikes on display
as usual but the very windy weather
had a few of the parked bikes over.
Amanda was happy she has a third
wheel.

Bill & Debs met up with Bob, Graham
with Carol & Amanda with Andre for
the Chinnor Bike Show & found it a
bit low key compared to previous
years. Chairman Mick had a lucky
find on e-bay so gave Chinnor a miss
& headed for Liverpool where he had
won a rear end for an R3 including
the tyre. Bill quipped that the rest
of the bike is probably propped up
on bricks & on police files, but I’m
sure such things don’t happen like
that in Liverpool. Amanda also made
it to the Busy Bee later that day.

Recently Bill & Debs whilst on
holiday in Scotland met by chance
two Manchester TOMCC members Paul &
Sylvia, heading for Ullapool &
Scotland North’s Summer Rally. Bill
says they had a good night together
in a local & naturally, during the
wining & dining they put the world
to rights. Sadly as usual there
wasn’t an MP within earshot.
12/7
I rode with Ken & his son Patrick to
Slough to visit MAGS Bike Show.
Weather was fine & some interesting
bikes on display including an R3
with thousands spent on it’s
customising. It looked as if it was
going to be a good show with band &
bar but we couldn’t stay long.
On the ride home we glimpsed Mick
riding a brand new Sprint. Now what
was he doing on that? My Thunderbird
Sport has new sprockets & chain, &
has passed it’s MOT & is ready for
the trip to the Denmark Rally in
August. Speaking of which, Garry
Perkins TOMCC ILO phoned recently
regarding the Rally & our trip into
Germany. Thanks for the interest and
looking forward to meeting you in
person.
Our weekend in the Forest of Dean
26-28/9 is now arranged & I have
found a very good camp site. Lets
hope the Autumn weather will be kind
to us
