Popped in to see young Mr Snelling today and enjoyed looking round the exhibition of Pics. Furthermore I sat next to the Gilera similar to one I sat beside in 1963 when Scuderia Duke (Hartle and Read)challenged the Hailwood-MV pairing.

I wish we could hear these machines again.................

I did however notice that the rear sprocket had a mighty number of teeth. I commented on this to Bill and apparently the big sprocket is used when the bike is demonstrated.

Well, I got the presents ("Forgive-me-for-diddling-off-to-the-TT" sort of presents. Fellows, you know what I mean !) for my son and my Missus from the shop underneath Bills exhibition.....Worth the trip indeed.

Hi Ian
Good to see you, keep up the good work. Justine popped in, she is on good form. Plenty of fans popped in, nice comments from Nick Jefferies, Stan Nightingale and other riders and fans.
Still open Friday to Saturday 9 am to 5 pm. We will be in harness again for MGP fortnight. The Gilera won't be exhibited Manx time, I want to be out playing on the Guzzi in the Vintage Rally, but the pics and 1957 film will be on display.
