News: Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show, Stafford

On Saturday 19th we visited the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics show at the Stafford county show ground.

If you have never been to this show I would seriously recommend you do so, busy doesn't describe it, if you are in to bikes from the 70's, 80's and 90's this is the place to be.

MBX80 wise, there was unfortunately nothing bike wise, I was hunting for a mudguard but this time there was nothing. I did also try to buy some oil seals, but they didn't have them on the booth.... Oh dear!

The Guest of honour this year was Christian Sarron, but again a little disappointed there was no YZR500...

Sarron's 1983 Yamaha TZ250

This caught my eye on the Different Strokers stand as my brother had a YSR80 in blue, possibly the only bike I have ridden that could upstage a RC30!

Yamaha YSR 'Gag' bike, very cool!

The MB guys were there again with two MB5's, an MT50 and a pristine MBX50. Love the MB5, as this was the machine I leant to ride on when I was at school!

Our aim is to show my MBX at this show when it is finished...

Classic Motorcycle Mechanics show, Stafford

On Saturday the 20^th we visited the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics show at Stafford show ground, this show specialises in Japanese machinery from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. There are plenty of club stands, privately entered bikes and lots and lots of traders, in fact the show is so big it needs to be seen to be believed.

We went with a shopping list of things we would like for the MBX project, but unfortunately we ended up not buying anything… But it is a good day out so all was not lost.

The MB5 owner’s club stand had this lovely red MBX50, immaculately presented I did manage a quite chat on its engine finish.

 There are plenty of race bikes on display and that are fired up and run, including this ROC Yamaha YZR500 and Freddie Spencer RS250 replica that the great man has ridden himself.
