This rather nice GT750 was on the stand with my Seeley Honda 750.

"Rather nice"? I'd love to see your definition of a well sorted and well presented bike then

Hi Mike,
The show was packed with "rather nice" bikes
. The bikes of the rosette winners are far beyond my level of patience and preparation.
Cheers Geoff

Hey Geoff,
Those shows are a mixed blessing aren't they. On the one hand they inspire us to aim high with our restorations but then (simultaneously) make most of us feel woefully inadequate.
I do love just standing there admiring them though

Hi Mike,
Yes, the top restorers really go the extra mile. One of the guys on our stand got Best Japanese with his Kawasaki A7 Samurai 250:
Nut&Bolt perfect.
That's my Seeley Honda 750 in the background
Cheers Geoff
