BUell + Italian meet

[stewgnu]

Lovely meet at Linconshire Aviation Heritage Centre last Monday.

A fuk-tonne of nice machinery, lancaster bomber, mustangs flying-by, one v11 with busted clox.

Here's some piccies for those that may give a flying chuck:

 

Nice Panther

Beautiful wee Benelli 4

Damn sexsome Lav- Montjuic?

Sweet-ass Guzzi

FIGHTERS + BOMBERS!

"Just Jane!"

 

I love that the V11 has *roughly* the same power-to-weight ratio of a P-51 Mustang. If you just happen to have one in silver with a red frame and some checkerboard motif, so much the better!

[czakky]

The P-51 also has a tendency to pull to the right, on account of its in-line crank.... So I've been told. Plus I know I've scared a few Japanese bikes away with my clutch and valve clatter! Was mostly over the gulf not the pacific but... Okay back to the pics.

[Scud]

Ummmm.... is that a Vincent Black Shadow with a tank bag on it in the first picture (behind the Panther)?

[stewgnu]

Yep, a good 8 or so Vincents there.  Most very very shiny, my favourite was the well ridden, rusty one.

[Admin Jaap]

Thanks for the pics! Great stuff. Love that Panther sloper.

I went to that show last year, but couldn't make this year. Really good day out. Lots of interesting stuff in the museum too. There seems to be a rule that only one V11 can attend at a time, as mine was the only one there last year.

Yeah!  I though the v11 was bad for it...  then someone pulled away on his Benelli Tornado!  Another reet purty machine for sure, but sounded like a bag o washers loose in his gearbox!  Haa!

I think, (a rare occasion) that the Benelli engine was made by Guzzi.
