This was at the Argos 50th Anniversary a couple of weeks ago only for a couple of hours & Mark of Argos was happy to see it in the flesh & later told me it had quite a few admirers.

Decided to add a white turbo saddle to even up the top of the machine matching the benotto white tape.

Nicely balanced visually now.

What a lovely clean garage/workshop space you have!

Are all the wheels packed away to help protect the tyres & rims? No weight of the bike putting pressure on them and also UV protection + no dusting! ???

Every wheel fully protected hanging just above the floor & usually hoovered/swept every 2weeks. Not much dust gathers but always give the bike a quick dust down. Try to keep things tidy for now as soon they’ll be moving out of

One day hoping my garage will be as tidy as yours! Good luck with the move!!!

Hi Nob. I wonder if you have had any contact with Derek Rogers lately since you started this fantastic project? I started racing tt in (19)84 in the juvenile age group. As the season went on i had heard about this rebel figure who took himself & his bike to races on a motorbike, whereby he rode the time trials on a fixed geared bike, but you know all this. Iirc he won just about everything he entered. A big part of having an interest in Retro Bike is the connection one has with ones past and the relation one has with ones own history, realising that you have reached an age that you are able to be nostalgic. I know what has happened to me 40 years later it would probably be more interesting to know something about what has happened to Derek. It's not all just about the bike.
Apologies to anyone that has the opinion that i am just waffling on. Have a nice weekend everybody.
