Some Shardlow regulars display their bikes
After a conversation amongst some of the
Shardlow regulars,
it was decided to show a selection of bikes at the nearby Donington Classic
Motorcycle Show,
Rounding of the day was the news that Dave Shaw ( Martek ) had taken the award for
best ridden,
A fantastic time was had by all and we are already looking forward to showing next
year.
Thanks to Paul Wilshaw for the following pictures

the event ,
Andy Ratcliffe had taken 2nd best Yamaha in show with his 1982 Candy Blue 350 LC,
Nigel Kimber won 1st prize in the special section with his Yamaha YZR 500 Replica,
And '' Yours Truly '' had taken the prize for Best Ridden to show ,

each month.

'' Summer is almost with us in England ''
After a winter of RD owners turning up in cars to talk bikes / swap parts / make new
contacts
the monthly pilgrimage of Yamaha RD bikes have started to show again at Shardlow !
It was very good to see that even at this early stage new bikes were starting to
attend the event !
If you have an RD or any 2 stroke '' don't be shy '' get yourself along to the next
one !
