A bike show was organised for the 18th of August 2012 at Kevin Boss' shed at Links road St.Mary's 

Ivan turned up on his Bike after leaving home with a van and trailer minus all the vans water.?? Possible welsh plug departed.

Best modified bike on the day went to Geoff Watson's "Board Tracker" a great looking Hard tail with unique exhausts. Geoff had three bikes in the show , 2 Dirt track bikes and the award winning Tracker.2 years ago Geoff had a ride on one of my Flat trackers and now has 6 XS machines with 2 more in progress. Its a sickness ha ha??

The prize winners below:- Geoff Watson and Mark Peatman

Best standard bike went to Mark Peatman on his XS2.Mark also presented his new project in a Red Cafe racer that is nearing completion. Mark also has a Dirt tracker and Dirt Track sidecar( sidecar is 30 years old).

I had all my sons Stephens bikes there , Road sidecar , Street Tracker , Dirt Tracker and P4 road Racer (clubman level) He could not attend as he is on manoeuvres with the Army.

Geoff Bamford showed the Police Bike .

Dave Rayner brought out the super modified which always gets the conversation going.

Junior (Bill Wallis) turned up respectably late just in time for a feed.

Lots of others turned up and had an enjoyable day ,

It was good to get together and see how creative and versatile The XS members have become.

Cheers Herb
