RAYLEIGH SHOW

Very nice to meet such a great bunch of helpful ST chaps on Sunday - Shorrocks - Tuftynutkin - Absolute and anyone else I may have missed out - and see some fine little ST's - especially the matching pair of Ladydax's with an equally delightful matching pair of young ladies astride them!I have a pic but not sure who to send it to!

I've learned a lot at the show and the dating results I get from the VJMC will determine whether I restore mine to as close to original as possible or make a special out of it in a different colour of some sort,maybe with a bigger engine - 110cc?125?cc maybe.Either way it's going to cost!

It may be worth mentioning that a friend of mine is restoring an RD350 and has used Simoniz Hard Black gloss spray aerosol as a top coat - what a superb finish!
I hope I can make some valid contributions to the website as I get to grips with my restoration,rather than produce a barrage of questions - time will tell.
I can recommend a couple of metal finishing companies worth looking at;Foremost Coatings,Hobbs Industrial Estate,Newchapel Surrey.(Shotblasters) - extremely helpful guys.
"Ikleenzemachinez" - specialist bead blasters; Jasmine Grove, Penge London SE20.
Both have websites but haven't got time now to look them up!
Thanks again guys for your advice.Brian

Hi Brian,

Hi
Just some pics from the Rayleigh meet
Thank you to the Very Very Very rare Lady Dax Owners Club for their turn out

Great pictures

Hi
I am sad to announce that the very very very rare Lady Dax club is now down to 2 members so has been renamed the very very rare Lady Dax club unless you know differently (photographic evidence needs to be shown on this site)
Regards Tufty
p.s did the picnic hamper go with it.

Yes indeed, it was a very sad day, my bike has now gone to a new home
but the new owner is an avid collector of all things monkey .

His collection is absolutley amazing, so my very rare x5 Lady dax will fit in well.

I believe the guy bought it for his wife to ride to work from Fulham to Hammersmith,
nice!!!!!!!!!

I know how much you love the wicker basket Tufty, so i've kept it just for you
You could keep a fair amount of breakdown tools in it, or maybe a jar of glitter for your frame

My new project is now underway, just waiting for a big parcel from OOracing and the the fun begins..................I'll start to post some photos soon

Many thanks Simon
