DECEMBER NOGGIN

Our December display was, a Great selection of various makes AND models of rare motorcycles. A big thank you, to Phil Jeeves, for organizing the December display. It was one of the best motorcycle displays we have had.

Bringing one motorcycle to the display has its difficulties, but in some cases, a number of the members brought two or three motorcycles each to the display. This takes a lot of effort to transport their motorcycles, in vans and trailers, in some cases having to hire a trailer. Thank you to all of the following members, who made this special effort.

Chris Parker, a very original, 1913 500cc Triumph TT. John Benn, 1972 250cc Benelli Super Sport and 1974 125cc Honda TL Trials. Jens Christensen, lovely 1935 225cc Royal Enfield Motor Carrier. DON MULLER
