Well I can’t upload an image I am trying to use to start this thread. And it’s taken by me on this phone.
I will try again to 2 maro of if I can change the image to jpg.
Wait! It is tomorrow! 😫

You shouldn't have to change the pic to a jaypeg if taken with your phone. It should be able to upload just as it is.

hopefully walt will chime in as i didnt around much of the meet. it gets bigger every year. i got there late and ended up way down the access road. my back wasnt going to let me go far, but surprisingly there is now like an outskirts area that seems to have sprung up. many old friends are gone. many old friends are still around! and many new friends have come on.

It was good to see you Keith.
I was very focused on my grandson Mason. He and I got the ItalJet going after a few years layup. The kid just wanted to ride.
We showed the bike at BritJam getting ready for the Itailian Meet on 9/14. The bike should do well at IMOC.
I only took pictures of my Son and Grandson.

Their website says 9/14
But I have been known to read things wrong

Thanx,
This bike is kinda neat.
It came about after Spain nationalized the Bultaco motorcycle company.
Bernie Schrieber the only American World trials champion needed a bike for the 1984 season.
ItalJet built this bike for Bernie using a Ducati 2 stroke bottom with a Bultaco like top end.
The bike wasn't very competitive and Bernie finished 4th.
This bike is a very low use example that runs and rides great.
The kid has a history with this trials bike.

You're right.
Are you going?

[hacksaw]

I very well may . But that’s a decision to be made on that day.

[Fatfatboy]

Love the history.

[hacksaw]

Of Italy?

[Fatfatboy]

The bike.

[hacksaw]

Well that’s simple. Lol

I am building another bsa . Won’t be quite as cool with hand built stuff as my fabricator retired. But he did fix a broken fin . I miss the sound of these bikes.
