One-off 1929 AJS inline 4 cylinder start-up
He said if I change the exhaust I have to re-register it and stuff and put all the stuff on it and our son said no because the rest of it looks like it's out of a museum and that's how they are these days and he said some stuff he doesn't know we're both old timers we think that way it's true this guy is a Mac and one of bja and does think that way and other people don't even think they're all weird he says not everything is backwards but this kind of stuff is so he picks the exhaust and people don't bother them at all this is a weird place okay these are weird people and weird times this reaction is very odd and we have to get rid of this idiots and who cares we're going to do it with the beer places it's already happening without us even being there yet but we plan on making it out there and they won't be able to and they're going to fight over everything Jesus Christ are they stupid I see what you're saying it's insulting as hell and they're fighting over this crap and they're letting their weapons go and really okay I want to be us while there's a war with us and the Max and the foreigners and they're up to that and this is perfect and we can do it with Harley-Davidson as soon as we get in there

1938 Brough Superior SS100 £260,000 at Iconic Auctioneers
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As iconic as it gets… the Rolls Royce of motorcycles. 1938 Brough Superior SS100 990cc - Guided at £240,000 - £260,000. This is as much a legend as it is a superb motorbike, it comes trailing romance and provenance and rightfully the respect of the whole motorcycle world. It is a bike that bikers dream of and now it comes to sale with Iconic Auctioneers at a guide price of £240,000 to £260,000. The "Rolls Royce of Motorcycles" was the way the press, in period, described George Brough's bespoke machines. Favoured by the rich and famous and built using the best components and most powerful engines available at the time, it was the bike chosen by TE Lawrence AKA ‘Lawrence of Arabia’. The Brough name is better known for motorcycles than cars, as the company produced over 3,000 two-wheelers between 1919 and 1940. Dubbed the `Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles', they were prestige machines that attracted a discerning clientele, and among the many famous Brough owners were George Bernard Shaw and T E Lawrence who had no less than eight and, of course, famously lost his life on one. In fact, the only bike more special than the one being sold by Iconic Auctioneers would be the TE Lawrence bike if ever that turned up for sale – the true Holy Grail of motorcycles, an icon of its kind – the whispers speak of a £1m price tag.

The SS80 used side-valve engines and were road tested to 80mph before being released from the factory, the SS100 used an overhead-valve engine and were road tested to 100mph. This, very well known, Matchless 990cc OHV SS100 (GUM 239) is presented in excellent overall condition and in good running order. It is one of only 102 Matchless bikes produced in total with 34 built with sprung frames and circa only 25 surviving today. Fitted from new with a Norton 4-speed gearbox, Castle forks and twin float carburettor. Correct numbers and restored by specialist Brough restorer, Tony Cripps, in 2010 to its current condition. Registered new on New Years Eve 1938 and shipped to dealers Watson Cairns Ltd. of Leeds. It has a known history since 1954 and with current owner since 2018. Extensive history file included, containing photos of the bike on a test run with Ron Storey and Barry Robinson in 1954 at the Brough Superior Works in Nottingham and at a Brough Rally in 1962 fitted with a sidecar, copies of old RF60 log books, photos and details of its restoration in 2010, original continuation RF60 dated 1954, a letter from Barry Robinson and copies of the article he wrote, restoration documents and photos, two old MOTs, old tax discs and other associated paperwork. The original fuel tank is included but not fitted.

The machine is a winner of numerous awards including 'Best MX SS100' at the Brough Rally (twice), 'Best ridden to show' once and best bike at VMCC Rally twice. This lot offers a fabulous opportunity to own a well-known and correct Brough Superior MX SS100. UK-registered on a current V5C.

From Bonhams 1924 CROFT-CAMERON 996CC SUPER EIGHT
'Look! Speedmen, Hard Riders, and all such Sportsmen. At last you have the Ideal of your dreams. The Croft Anzani "Super Eight".' – Croft Cameron. There is very little known about the short-lived Croft Cameron company, which was based in Coventry and existed for only a few years: 1923 to 1926. Pitching itself at the very top of the market, Croft Cameron effectively built only one model (with detail variations); this was the mighty 'Super Eight', a Vintage-era superbike powered by a 996cc overhead-valve v-twin made by British Anzani - 'The famous British Anzani, no further comment needed'.
The Croft Cameron Super Eight was available in eight-valve form at £140, or four-valve at £125; there was also the option of a slightly larger 'Plus Power' engine (£145 and £130 respectively). The standard gearbox was a three-speed Sturmey Archer unit with kick-starter, a Jardine four-speeder being optional. The silencer was placed behind and below the gearbox - a common practice today, adopted in the interests of 'mass centralisation' – which just goes to show that there really is nothing new under the sun when it comes to motorcycle engineering.
Its magnificent power unit aside, one of the Croft Cameron's most striking features was its advanced duplex loop frame that completely encircled the engine. Its manufacturer claimed that this frame was 'as rigid as a Pill Box', while Motor Cycling reckoned it made 'for great lateral rigidity and, consequently, for good steering'. The leaf-sprung front fork was by Montgomery, and contemporary photographs of the Croft Cameron show that it was built with various combinations of dummy belt rim and drum brakes, eventually ending up with the latter at both ends, as seen here. A (probably optimistic) weight of 300lbs was claimed.
With its bulbous, tapering saddle tank, Montgomery fork, and low swept-back handlebars, the Croft-Cameron Super Eight was undeniably handsome and a worthy rival for the Brough Superior, which it matched on price. The reasons why Croft Cameron failed while Brough prospered will, probably, never be known.
This rare survivor of a long-forgotten British make was purchased new from a Leicester showroom in 1924 by a Mr Bert Henson, a railway locomotive driver. Supplied in solo trim, the machine was attached to a sidecar in the 1930s. Mr Henson, who lived at 3 Sheffield Street, Leicester, moved to Feltwell in 1952 and shortly thereafter to Thetford. The Croft Cameron was a regular sight on Thetford's streets during the mid-1950s, still attached to the sidecar. By 1956, the Croft-Cameron had been taken off the road and stored in Burrell's old traction engine works in St Nicholas Street, Thetford. It was there that the machine was discovered and purchased in 1957 by the current vendor's father.
The machine was restored in 1962 (the modifications made to the lubrication system and exhaust were already present). Following its restoration, the Croft Cameron was a regular entrant in VMCC events such as the Banbury Run and Tour of Birmingham throughout the 1960s, and was displayed at the Motor Cycle Show in London. It also features in Damien Kimberley's book, 'Coventry's Motorcycle Heritage' (page 38). The machine was last run approximately five years ago and is described by the vendor as in generally good condition. Accompanying documentation consists of a number of old-style RF60 logbooks, including the original

A new star rises at record breaking Pre-TT Classic.
Tumblr media
The final day of racing at the Pre-TT Classic meeting brought some great racing and saw the emergence of a new star. The weather was kind; with bright sunshine, tempered by a light breeze. There was a good crowd at the final corner; Castletown Corner; to watch the action unfold. First race was the Greystones LLC Senior Classic. There was more drama before the race began that during it. On the warm-up lap Dominic Herbertson had an engine blow up at Ballabeg; this brought him off and deposited oil on the track. It was back to the paddock whilst the clear up took place. Then after the second warm up lap Jamie Coward was forced to pull off the line with a broken clutch cable. This robbed us of a repeat of the tight battle seen in the previous day’s 1100cc race. Adam McLean (Royal Enfield) was quickest to react to the lights and led into Ballakeighan; it was a lead that he was never to lose. At Castletown Corner on the opening lap, he had a couple of seconds lead from Mike Hose (Yamaha); with third being contested by Alan Oversby (Honda) and Andy Hornby (MV Agusta). Lap 2 saw McLean well clear of Oversby; whilst he had pulled clear of the battle for third in which Hornby had taken a slender advantage. With a clear lead, McLean eased his pace and rode to his boards coming home to win by 11.6s at 93.884mph. Oversby rode a lonely race to second place; whilst the battle for third that saw many positional changes was eventually settled in favour of Andy Hornby by just 0.54s. Russ Mountford took 5th; with Will Loder completing the top 6. The next race was the Quine & Cubbon 250cc Classic and 125cc Post Classic Race. Keith Shannon (Suzuki) was quickest away from the lights, and he was never headed. In a repeat of the previous race, he set his best time on lap 2; then eased his pace to ensure that he finished. Second onto the bridge at Castletown Corner on the opening lap was Richard Ford (Suzuki); but that was to be the only time that we saw him. In third, and leading the 125cc class was promising newcomer Owen Monaghan (Honda); sadly, he too was to be forced out with machine problems. Behind them was a battle that lasted for the race distance; it was between Andy Hunt (Ducati), Barry Davidson (Honda) and Billy Cummins (Suzuki). They changed positions many times; but finished in this order. Behind them came the eventual 125cc class winner, Jeff Smith. Third race of the afternoon was the VMCC Junior Classic. The first lap charge into Castletown Corner was headed by Alan Oversby (Honda), from Russ Mountford (Honda); riding his final race before retiring from the sport; Dominic Herbertson (Honda) and Adam McLean (Royal Enfield). Barry Davidson (Honda) and Andy Hornby (MV Agusta) completed the top 6. It was not to be Oversby’s day, he suffered machine problems and limped home to retire at the end of lap 2. Herbertson was out to make up for his earlier disappointment and was the leader by a couple of metres from Mountford; Davidson. McLean with 20m adrift with Hornby 50m further back. Herbertson was gradually easing away from the chasers; Davidson had passed Mountford who was being closed by McLean. Hornby was in fifth; but he was soon to retire the MV. Herbertson controlled the race and duly came home to win by 4.4s from McLean who had taken second from Davidson on the penultimate lap; McLean’s best lap of 89.688mph was simply amazing for a 350cc single. Davison took another podium finish; with Russ Mountford settling for fourth in his last race. What a rider he has been over the years; we wish him a long, healthy and happy retirement. The top 6 was completed by Will Loder; who made up for a slow start with some fast laps on his Greeves; with sixth taken by newcomer Harley Rushton on his Honda. Next event was the Consolation race for the riders who missed out on the main races. Terence Sansom controlled the race and duly won 4.85s from Richard ford, with rod Graham third. The eagerly awaited UGGLY Senior Superbike race was next, and it provided great racing with the lap and race records being beaten. The first lap saw Paul Jordan in the lead as the riders accelerated hard away towards the start and finish line; he was just a couple of metres ahead of Joe Yeardsley; with lap record holder Jamie Coward a similar distance behind. Rhys Hardisty was fourth on his lovely RG Suzuki; one of the few non-Kawasaki machines in the race. Marc Colvin and Aaron Hughes completed the top 6. Hughes was to retire on lap 3; allowing Mike Hose to take 6th; Hose was recovering from a slow start. On lap 2, the leader was Coward; he led by 10m from Yeardsley and Jordan who were side by side going down the bypass. On lap 3 the leader was Coward; but Yeardsley was right on his tail and learning as they went along. The pace had gone up and Jordan was unable to match it; he dropped back as he race progressed but was safe in third; lapping 2 mph faster than the chasing trio of Colvin, Hardisty and Hose. On lap 4, Yeardsley led as they powered out of the tight bend and charged away to start lap 5. Coward was in the slipstream and duly retook the lead. The pace increased as they fought for the laurels. The lap record was broken on lap 5 and again on lap 6; Yeardsley setting the new mark at 106.535mph; with Coward raising his best to 106.412mph. Coward was still the leader as they began the final lap; however, Yeardsley was not going to concede and managed to be the first to come into our view from Stadium Bend. He had a 10m gap and that was enough to allow him to ensure that Coward could not try a demon dive on the brakes into Castletown Corner. He gained good drive out the corner and despite the best efforts of Coward he took victory by 0.6s; much to the delight of the locals in the crowd. His performance was stellar given that his first ever road race was in this race last year. He gave praise to Coward at the end saying that he had learned a lot from Jamie. Jordan completed his race 27s down on Coward. Mike Hose, Andy Sailor and Marc Colvin completed the top 6; the three were covered by just 4.3s. The second 3 Wheeling Sidecar Race was the final one on the programme. Lap record holders Kieran Clarke / Andrew Johnson made a better start than in race 1 and led the field through Ballakeighan on lap 1. They were 10m ahead of Bob Dawson / Matthew Sims, with Jack Gristwood / Alice Smith holding third as they went through Castletown Corner. The order was the same on lap 2; but just after they left us the red flag ended proceedings and the result was declared at the end of lap 1. Danny Quirk / Dylan Weston crashed on the exit to Stadium. Quirk has broken a collarbone; but has been released from hospital. Weston has suffered leg fractures and has been flown to the UK for specialist treatment. We wish him a full and speedy recovery. This superbly run and very friendly meeting provided an excellent curtain raiser for the TT Festival. Read the full article

i dont know shit about your ocs but like. i wanna hear about them so drop some trivia? sorry if this sounds super rude 😔
no it's okay! I am more than happy to share some trivias
DISCLAIMER: This is longer than I expected
So, Here is some random and trivia about some of my ocs and lore! (probably not all since...i have at least 30+) :
-The founder and boss of Velvet Maid Cafe Company is a masculine woman
-Sweet tier is the highest rank in VMCC other than boss. only 5 people are in that rank. Ribbonmask got that rank in a very fast time
-If you don't get the idea, VMCC is basically a cafe but also a black market/hitman/mafia agency. Basically crime agency with a maid cafe company as a front.
-VMCC and my main OC story is in the same setting but different timelines
-Xeiby in the VMCC timeline knew Ribbonmask as a child, while in the main timeline he never interacted with her.
-Gera and Dein are cousins, but since their parents (well. only mom in Gera's case) are basically dead, Gera's dad aka Dein's uncle, Galaxius, decided to adopt them
-Veill have a very unstable magic power, but fortunately their uncle, Xei, helped them control it more (except when they feel very extreme emotions)
-Casey's mother died when she was born, her dad is nowhere to be found, so she lived with their mother's friends, Orlo and Blake
-Steven and Anna got into a big argument after the death of each of their sibling because of grief
-Etrix is the person who gave Anna her powers to be Sam's 'guardian angel', who gives Zend clues about how to cure his cursed eye, and the one who gave Fyre their job. But all of them had to pay something else in return.
-Liliv completely changed her aesthetics when she realized Lidya was right and their parents was just lying to her about everything. She became more brave and a bit more masculine
and more but that's enough information for today :)

1950 HARLEY-DAVIDSON WR 750CC RACING MOTORCYCLE REGISTRATION NO. 104 XUC FRAME NO. 50WR2088 ENGINE NO. 50WR2088
Introduced in 1929 as a competitor to Indian's successful 750cc side-valve Scout v-twin, the Harley-Davidson Model D - better known as the '45' (its capacity in cubic inches) - really took off when the USA's entry into WW2 created an unprecedented demand for the military WL version. This 750cc side-valve engine would turn out to be one of the longest running Harley motors, ending its days in the 1973 Servicar. In between it enjoyed considerable success in American oval track racing following the AMA's introduction in 1937 of Class C for 750cc production-based motorcycles intended to make racing more affordable for ordinary enthusiasts. Indian's Sport Scout set the initial standard but Harley was quick to catch up, introducing a series of ever more powerful versions of the '45', culminating in 1941 with the arrival of the first built specifically for racing: the WR, which was available in dirt track and WRTT road-racing forms. In 1950 Larry Headrick, riding a WR prepared by legendary tuner Tom Sifton, won all three AMA national mile races to gain the coveted 'No.1' plate.
  In the 1940s and '50s, race programmes listed the engine numbers of the competing motorcycles and that offered here - '50WR2088' - is shown as entered for the Springfield Mile on 19th August 1951 ridded by Norman Robarge from Waukegan, Illinois, and carrying race number '53'. The subsequent history of the bike is unknown until circa 2000 when it was bought in the USA as a basket case and taken to Germany. There it was converted to WRTT specification, with the later twin-leading-shoe front brake and four-speed gearbox added to make it more competitive in the German historic racing classes. It was campaigned for the next few seasons in circuit racing, sidecar racing, hill climbs and sprints before being bought by the current owner in 2006 and registered in the UK. Fitted with hydraulic ride control, it has been ridden to various rallies in the UK and Holland, and sprinted with the VMCC, covering fewer than 1000 miles since acquisition. Factory records show only 69 WR models built in 1950, of which approximately 15 are believed to survive. The machine is offered with VMCC dating certificate and Swansea V5
