Moderator mervin Posted November 16, 2012 Moderator Posted November 16, 2012 Organised by Cheesy from the VJMC , a date for the diary CLASSIC BIKE JAPFEST at Haynes Motor Museum on September 15th 2013. Its a new show on Sunday 15th of September, being co-ordinated by Cheesy of the Taunton & Bridgewater section of the VJMC Free camping for exhibitors on the Saturday night Tickets for the public will include entrance to the Haynes Museum, so will be loads to see This will be the first year of the show, so details are not set; albeit agreed in principle with the VJMC and Haynes Cheesy is hoping that the price will be lower, at £10.00, than the normal price to enter Haynes (which next year will be £11.95, so a good saving plus you get to see the bikes). Entry to the show, Museum, Autojumble and camping is all free for exhibitors. Plus cash prizes for first place in the categories. Haynes is currently undergoing a large expansion which should be finished in the spring, so there should be more to see than in the past

Moderator mervin Posted September 5, 2013 Author Moderator Posted September 5, 2013 Press release by Haynes Motor Museum:- FESTIVAL OF CLASSIC JAPANESE BIKES AT HAYNES INTERNATIONALMOTOR MUSEUM Haynes International Motor Museum in Sparkford will be hosting ‘Jap-Fest’ – a celebration of classic Japanese motorbikes on Sunday, September 15th. Organised by the Taunton and Bridgwater section of the Vintage Japanese MotorCycle Club, the event is a one day festival celebrating vintage and classic motorcycles of Japan. The show is expected to attract up to 300 motorcycles and will be held under cover in two large halls within the museum. There will be classic and vintage Japanese motorcycles from the earliest examples in this country up to the modern but classic motorcycles of the last 15 years including racers, trials, tourers, mopeds, drag bikes, six cylinders, big fours, two stroke triples, all makes and all designs. Festival organiser Nick Watson said: “It’s a fantastic opportunity to discover Japanese motorcycles you have never seen before and names you didn’t even know existed! “You will be able to see where the modern Japanese motorcycle of today started and plot its course down through the years. “Club displays of all the Japanese makes and models, plus private entries will fill the halls and make for an informative and fun day out for everyone to enjoy. “Visitors will be able to talk to the owners about the bikes and restorations, see the bikes they either had in their youth or always wanted to have and get information on the clubs. It is an event not to be missed,” he added. Included in the admission price is also access to Haynes International Motor Museum the UK’s largest exhibition of the greatest cars from around the world with over 400 amazing cars and bikes, from nostalgic classics of the 50’s and 60’s, glorious Bentleys and Rolls Royce’s to exciting super cars like the Jaguar XJ220. There will also be outside auto jumble and trade stands, and the Motorcycle Mezzanine, which is part of the new development of Haynes International Motor Museum, will also be open. The 330-square-metre display is a permanent home for the museum’s two-wheeled collection of around 70 motorbikes which include motorcycles from around the world and the Forshaw Speedway Collection – the world’s largest and most complete speedway display. • The Classic Motorcycle Japfest is on Sunday, September 15th at Haynes International Motor Museum, Sparkford, Nr.

obriens65 Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 I want to go but my brother was inconsiderate enough to turn fifty this coming weekend and I'll be excommunicated by the family if I'm not there.
Noise Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Come on...........................theres an auto jumble, AUTO JUMBLE!!!! Better than any birthday party, But saying that you could alway sneek out and say you left his present in the car, shoot down Haynes for an hour and pick him up a nice rusty spanner to give to him???
obriens65 Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Hmmm... Could be a plan. Do you think I could do the 135 miles each way from his house to the museum (Yes I checked to see if it might be possible ) and get back again before they notice?
Noise Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Easy! it will only take you about 30mins to do it.
slice Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Just saw this and if the weather is ok I will be there, only 60 odd miles from me and a nice ride out so if your there I will be the old git with the old bike!!!!! Plus I will have my YOC badge on so no excuses for ignoring me!!!!

Noise Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Get on your bike ye old git! Skin is water proof haha.
