Last weekend I went to the All British Rally at Newstead (in Victoria, Australia). It's an anuual event but I had never been before. In the worst drought in Australia's history we had to pick a weekend with shitty weather. Nevertheless it was a great weekend. There were about 900 there, and a great array of Brit bikes some old some new. The oldest I saw was a 1902 BSA. Triumph Australia had a presence with one of every model in the range (except the 675). The Triumph rep was very helpful (at least until about 10pm Saturday......after that he was nearly spastic ;D). I took a few photos until the camera shit itself...again. The gate prize was a late 60's Triumph Daytona.....I didn't f'n win it. I went with a mate who has an 03 Speedy. I reckon there was about 30 Speedies there (of all models). It was great.
Just after we set up camp:
This one's for Devi.....two 650 Triumph motors grafted together......ingenious
A very tasty Commando Fastback
My Cornish mate Ashley's '03
A "rat" BSA
Then the camera said "enough"
I'll be back next year so I'll get some more pics. I saw two original Rocket III's that were pristine and a lot of Velocettes, AJS's, Vincents, Nortons and others, some I've never heard of before.
They crappy weather spoilt the ride there and back through some very nice roads.
