Hollyville Cafe report no.7
I assumed that Les and his bullet had arrived at the same time as Tornado and myself, and mentioned what a nice coincidence it was.
However... It seems that Les and his EFI had already been here once, eaten breakfast and then left, only to spot me a short way down the road, so they came back again!
Initially, there were not too many bikes there due partly to the weather, and also it was still only just gone 10:10am. By the time I had bought the coffees scoffed down a number 2 with beans and exited the dining area, the bike selection had improved dramatically.
Remember that BSA with the drop bars, that make it look like a cute dog with its ears down? The one that always seems to be there begging whenever we ate outside?
(Three weeks ago, right in my face as I sat outside eating!)
Well, today I thought we had outsmarted it by eating indoors, but...
Makes me feel guilty!
This weeks Alzheimer's 'Key in the ignition' award is split between a Moto Guzzler V50...
<
And a very tidy AJS.
I am glad to report that Tornado did not enter into this award (this week)!
This weeks 'Ear damage' engine award goes to that BSA again!
Continuing with the breakfast theme...
This BSA Firebird 650 Scrambler has a dual purpose. Ride it hard in the woods, then lay it down on it's right hand side...
Arrange the bacon and sossies on the barbeque rack, scrummy!
Today's featured classic - a 1950's Zundapp!
Les and myself stood enthralled as we chatted with an absolute gentleman, whilst he unfolded the story that his rare and beautiful German Zundapp had been found in a hedge! This does make me wonder if there are Germans out there, restoring flying fleas?
"THE ARRIVAL"
The carb and other stuff is all enclosed behind the black covers, keeping dirt and water out. Just undo the thumbscrew and they come away.
"When you're pretty and you know it, sound your horn...beep...beep."
German pride in their manufacturing.
Fully enclosed chainguard
Nice tail, including the "V1 pulse jet" type exhaust pipe!
It is in MPH.
Who wouldn't consider having one of these?
Due to the worsening weather and conditions, coupled with my return to France at the end of the month, this may be the last Hollyville report for some time, but let's hope the next two Sunday mornings are good enough to attend.
