I was there from shortly after 0900 on Saturday (having prebooked on-line). Good that the organisers provided hard-standing for the motorcycle visitors this year, especially given the weather. I enjoyed the BSA OC stand & particularly the Furys. Sorry that I missed you, Argus.
Thanks Angus. That was 49 minutes of my time well spent. Fury vs CB350? Well, one is better looking and the other was very reliable. I'd go for the looker every time. 👍
Great show stand Angus, It was a pleasure to meet you in person after following you on TH-cam throughout your entire Fury build. You have been a great help to me in my own Fury project thank you, All the best.
@@BSAPowerSet slickness of presentation is mostly about time in the "edit suite", which is time that could instead be spent in the workshop! Have to compromise somewhere :)
Funny about grey/black frames in 1971. I had a grey frame 250 I bought in October ,although I didnt know its build date. Only ever saw black framed Triumphs.
Thanks for the interest and comment Jonathon. Yes all Triumphs had black frames and your BSA 250 would have been built before the end of May that year.
Visited the show on the Sunday which was far the better day if you were riding to the show, which we were. My brother was not impressed with the Sloper custom bike ! Did see you on the stand as we walked past but you were deep in conversation so I didn’t say hello. The red Mk 2 Rocket was very nice, I believe the styling and ray gun silencers were criticised at the time which I don’t understand. The Fury looks a lot more modern than the CB350 which I believe first hit the market in 1968 so I’m not sure there is much else to say ? I never owned a Japanese two stroke but I was pleased to see so many immaculate examples on display along with Honda’s of the same era, although as you say it was a shame that there wasn’t a Black Bomber there. Very enjoyable vlog !
Cheers Stew - yes I enjoyed the show and the early Japs too, quite right regarding the CB350 - it had collared the market before the Fury had hit beyond the original P5 prototype but the Fury in the end I think did have more modern styling.
I arrived about 9.45 on the Saturday morning. A decent crowd already there. As you commented, the weather in the morning was awful, which meant the inside halls were very busy. Felt sorry for the outside Traders. Fortunately it dried up in the afternoon. I felt it was a great show with some great exhibits. BSA/Triumph really missed a trick by being late to the 350 twin market in the U.S. shame. Congratulations on the award for the Fury.

Thanks and apols I missed you too - glad you enjoyed the stand and hopefully the wider show.

Cheers Dave - me too!

Many thanks most kind. Is this Craig?
Hi Angus. Yes this is Craig, Have a great weekend.
Great video thanks Angus. The A10 Police bike was equipped with an alternator, as indicated by the bulge on the timing cover.
Many thanks Bill and also for pointing that out on the A10 - I didn't know and hadn't noticed.
Well done for putting this together enjoyed it 👍
Thank you for the interest and kind comment.
Excellent Angus, almost as good as being there in person!
Thank you - most kind - that’s the idea but the execution still needs a bit of refinement I think.

Great video Angus.
You’re too kind Joy - thank you. I hope you enjoyed the show with all your usual hard work.
Nice vlog,i like the race bike..
Thanks Matt - thought you might. Apparently TR3OC will have stand in April - you could take your R3 and get in for free!

Nice to see you're still going strong with these Angus. 👍

Cheers Martin and I agree it was an enjoyable show.
Thanks for that Angus as it's just a bit far for a day out.
Cheers Alexander.
