Stafford Classic Bike Show 2011
This was the fourth year the Shenstone Branch had a stand at the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show held at the Stafford Showground on the 15th and 16th October. Despite some sceptism of how many would be at the show the number of people there seemed to be more than last year – perhaps the sunny weekend helped.
One of our new branch members Sandy Johnson had her newly restored 750 Commando on the stand. The bike which has been restored from a ‘basket case’ was only finished two weeks before the show by another branchmember Alan Clarke. Its rare colour of ‘Fireflake Roman Purple’ created a lot of interest over the weekend.
Thanks to all the branch members who gave up their free time to help man the stand and of course whenever the opportunity arose encouraged people to join the NOC. Also thanks to our NOC Events Co-Ordinator, Jim Brown who brought along his M30 Manx.
The other bikes on the stand were Bunny Kyd’s ‘Dommie88’ , Ray Harris’s ‘Dommie99’ , Bob Johnson’s ‘650SS’ and Ray Wildman’s ‘ES2’.
