  2. Ok Chris. Will also say we hope to have the big Marqee up just in case the weather doesn't do what it's supposed to do. The site owners they'll get it up by then.

  5. Yes! :) We've just repaired one tyre - rivet! View attachment 15922
    We took the vehicle to a friends garage.
     
  6. I am liking the sidecar set up. I could take the misses and the dog out with me! What is it?
     
  7. We have one with a Peugeot diesel & one petrol. It's called the Zeus, 2 litre 8 valve 130hp. View attachment 15948
    But they are leaving early so don't expect them to be here come the weekend.

  8. Great show Stuart, I had a crash-course in diesel engines and their different installation challenges. I will have to stay Saturday night next year :)
     
  9. Good to see you Chris. Some interesting engineering on show that's for sure.

    By my reckoning we had about 35 diesel powered bikes on site.

  12. yes, it gets mentioned every year and is dotted around the forum but this thread seemed best choice particularly as it's even returned to the Springbok estate now, with possibly overnight accommodation still available.
