North Essex meet up
Hi
The Essex members of the very very very rare Lady Dax fraternity met today at an auto show in Safffron Walden all attending members turned up with their Ladies and a lively debate ensued as to which members bike was the correct colour this particular debate was won by Absolute due to the level of rust on his Lady which he claims gives it that shed find look.His son was also in attendance and was suprised by how many very very very rare Ladies there are.
Shorrocks also brought along his Lady and custom Dax which was later used on a short run out with myself and this was totally uneventful for a change "no breakdowns" this was also good news as Si had not brought his breakdown kit with him, his cute weekend/make up bag was empty :shock: He also only overtook me once but I think he was just being polite as we were going uphill and he was bored. On the way back he commented that my purple one ran at a steady 50 MPH which is good news.
The weather was very hot with a short cloud burst and we all made new friends and some useful contacts and met the owner of 2 Daxi and numerous other bikes, people did come and chat about our bikes and commented about the condition and presentation and how they knew someone who had owned one.
Please keep the info about shows coming in.
PS I will post some pic's shortly

Hello Gents,
Phew, what a scorcher of a day we had yesterday, apart from a small rain cloud the show went off well :D :D :D the USUAL suspects arrived, as Tufty said earlier, complete with extreamly very, very, very, very, rare Lady Daxi in tow. It was'nt the biggest show on earth but it was a meeting point of like minded souls. ;)

Nice to see Absolute and Morgan there, thanks again for you support :D

Tufty and I went for a spin afterwards through the lovely medieval market town of Saffron Walden. What Tufty didn't know was, that I had him tracked by a crackteam at the AA nerve centre just in case he broke down!!!!!!!!!! ;) ;)

Thanks all

Si

Re: North Essex meet up
I am not going to get drawn into your argument about paint colours Tufty as it doesn't really matter to me -after all its only paint and colour is all subject to interpretation, available light and which angle you look at it. As you well know after we humoured you about your metal flake in your purple machine. :lol:

Now for the record - my bike left the factory in 1976 painted in the same paint as it wears today. Yes, it shows character, it even shows a few rust spots, and yes - it shows its blemishes, as we all do once we get over 35 years old. Shes a proud machine - happy in her life knowing that all that gaze upon her see her as she is today- honest, polished, and - yes - painted in the original white. Not resprayed in a colour match so my bike is the original colour - I WIN!!!! :D :D :D :D

anyway it doesnt really bother me. :roll:


But mine is definitely the original paint colour. :lol: :lol: :lol:

no respray............. :lol:
