Haggis Bash

[Voyager]

Folks,

Went to the "Haggis Bash Classic Autojumble" at Lanark Market today with my neighbour Tom (in a Land Rover as I was looking for a generator).

Met up with Gordon and as usual we gravitated to the bike park.

There we bumped into 'Straypuss' (without his Vespa) and spotted a couple of likely 'Tosser' bikes parked up. I feel I should know the R1200GSA !

Oh yes . . Gordon has a tale to tell about the Top Box he found - and about the Triumph it came from !

Over to you Gordon.

(I didn't get a generator, but I did get a rebored barrel and piston for my Tiger Cub restoration project).

(I was out on my K1200GT on Saturday, so it wasn't an entirely 'bike free' weekend).

Spotted a new Guzzi 'Norge' at Lanark.

Hmmmm . . I quite fancy that !

Thanks for the picture of the topbox with the Mojacar Rally and Andorran Splinter Group stickers. I still quite can't believe this, but in 1985, 6 of us who had been on the 1984 Mojacar Rally formed the Andorran Splinter Group and had 6 stickers made for the Rally. Over the years since the rally, I have lost touch with most of the folks and the topbox that appeared in Lanark today (along with the Craven panniers) came off a bike owned by a guy called Andy French from Staines in Middlesex. The odds of a topbox with only 1 of 6 stickers on it ever making an appearing in Lanark 22 years after a rally and me spotting it ???????? Off to by a Lotto ticket.

Cheers

Good to see a healthy GS turn out! Didn't realise that car/bike rallies had started up again - so early in the year.

Hi guys, he wanted £5k for that Trumpet and he hadn't even polished it! I used to love reading tales of Ken Cravens Mojacar rallies in MCS. I sold my cravens after 20 years at the Ayr classic show. No mention of the cool yellow 906 Paso for £1k and did you see the Y reg 93k miles R100RT for £575 ? I heard it running and it was sweet. I came away with a Tomaselli throttle and a tyre a fun day for £15 that's for parts, bacon butty and entrance..think I'll give Ingliston show a miss at £15 entrance! Athough I do have an invite to display a bike in the classics section.
