ROCKERS DAY IN HONG KONG by the S.R.B.C.

Well, on the 18th of this Month was Rockers day in Hong Kong, I have become friends with these great Rockers, and it just goes to show the commeraderie that has spread globally in the scene that I have been  a part of for more decades than I care to count.

Like me, they love Motorcycles and the culture too, once a year they have this event and seems to be getting more popular, glad to be able to show these to everyone that reads my Blogs as these are truly fun people enjoying their passion for the 2 wheeled machines and the clothing.

Lining up and ready to hit some more tarmac in Hong Kong, one of these days I hope to Take Jennifer there to meet these great people and share their passion.

There are great roads to ride and you can see that there does not seem to be as much traffic as you would think in a country that has a population of  7.34 Million.

5

Just some photos from their pages to let you see what they get up to and boy is it Nostalgic.

6

Cool Lewis Leather jackets and pants with Period styled 50’s belts, these are the real deal and enjoy what they do for fun, no attitudes, just fun.

7

I love this photo as there isnt many Rockers in the states that live the lifestyle, hopefully that will change but for me, to see these with their Lewis Boots and gasolina’s with White Rocker seaboot socks, looks so Britain in the 1960’s, love the shot taken here.

Original 1967 BSA A65 Race Bike For Sale ! $8000

001

HUBBA HUBBA! Look at this thing of original beauty, this is a killer Diller of a machine and full of Nostalgia too.

002

This Motorcycle is screaming out yesteryear and the owner doesn’t want it cleaned or wiped down as that’s the way he likes it, this kicks over and runs right away and thats because that good old magneto gives it plenty of spark, and its a reliable motor that’s for sure.

 

003

I am helping the old fella sell this and will be posting on a few Vintage motorcycle race sites too, but I sure hope it goes to a good home.

004

Just look at that patina and all the great parts this A65 has, Original Borrani Rims still hold the air in the old tires.

 

005

The owner cannot remember what was done the the motor but its fast, the Bell mouths are bloody awesome and once you tickle and give her just a little choke, she fires into life and vibrates like a jack hammer.

007

If I didn’t have so many other projects to complete, I would have this in a heart beat just take your time and check this BSA out in all its detail.

 

008

Yes indeed, that is an original Trackmaster frame, not many of them around and this has been together since 67.

009

Lockheart rear brake set up is getting super hard to locate these days too but an awesome part to still see on a motorcycle that still rides.

016

BSA rear taillight on the Bates seat and is such a classic look that is dissapearing these days around here.

015 013

The owner has informed me NOT to clean it, so I am just enjoying it and riding it about to make sure it all works and yes it sure does.

 

010

This A65 is a fun machine and a great piece of California track racing History, you just dont see these any more that are still used.

011

YES- this does have a title and yo can buy this right now if you so wish, I love having it at the shop.

014

Yes, thats the oil in frame trackmaster set up and look u the price of the frames alone these days.

021

Original Bates headlight still functions, amazing!

020

Take your time and see what you think, the owner isnt in a hurry as he has owned it years.

019

018

 

WM3 with old style screws for rim locks is classic touch.

017

028 027

There she is for all to see.

026

Recently, Widow Makers presented a sneak preview of what to expect from us to those who attended the famous ‘Ton Up Day’ event held at Jack’s Hill Cafe in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Widow Makers showed illustrations completed together with our merchandise and following a very successful day a number of new commissions have been requested.

Whilst attending the event, Stuart from Widow Makers and Creative Beast worked with Tom White at Black Rock Creative who filmed the finishing touches of a promotional video for Widow Makers showing the presentation of an illustration completed just days previously to Johnny ‘Chester’ Dowling – the culmination of days of planning, drawing, filming & tea-drinking – we hope that you agree that the illustration is a fitting tribute to what is a lovely machine and that the video captures the essence of a bygone era of motorcycling.

Widow Makers was so happy with the video that we couldn’t wait to show it to you all – we hope you love it as much as we do !

Widow Makers would like to thank the following: Jacks Hill Cafe- Towcester, Davida Helmets, Pure Triumph Motorcycles Wellingborough, Royal Enfield, Haywards Cambridge, The Rapiers, Fury Records
Vince Taylor, Creative Beast Ltd, Toxico Ltd, Guildhall Press, Black Rock Creative

and a very special thanks to

All my family, friends and customers who have supported me on the launch of this project, To all those who attended ‘Ton Up Day’ at Jacks Hill Cafe. Johnny ‘Chester’ Dowling and my wife and best friend, Lorna McDowell.
