Chunky Funky Diesel Monkey

An MZ ES/250 Trophy fitted with a Yanmar (?) diesel engine.
I've got a feeling it sounds exactly as it looks; solid, rounded, tactile.
Built by Brian Rutherford

The ex.

Pannier Patina





This is a Stadium Vanguard that I got off ebay. It originally had a peak which went in the bin pretty damn quickly. What's nice about it is the period stickers. The Yellow and blue one is/was the logo for 'National' petrol stations but the other's provenance is unknown.
Kinda cool that the original owner used stickers depicting helmets.


Poor old Indian Chief






My thanks go to 'magnum45pete' for bringing this to my attention via the excellent Dirty Bobbers site. It's a 1948 Indian Chief. The seller's calling it a barn find but I don't think it was ever lost, it was just taking a breather.
There's a couple of videos too :

My crappy Fuji 310 can sometimes suprise me. I took this at the North Weald classic sprint a couple of years ago; came out really well.
