Sorry Hugh, not really interested in that! 😄👍

A no from me, I'm afraid, Though hopefully might be able to get some work done on the car in the morning instead.

@Hugh Tranter Hope you can make it? I can't sadly, as I'm double booked.

Glad to hear you're ok .. I don't know if it's an age thing but I find I have more fun on my gravel bike than my road bikes these days ...

I’m new here so hello from Staffordshire. I am selling a 2022 Moto Guzzi 850 v7 stone to fund or part fund a Westie, it is black in colour so a disappointment to Flying Carrot Steve 😂 if anyone is interested please let me know. I put this info in a reply to an advert yesterday, but thought it may be worth putting on the forum. Cheers Hugh

It could be arranged 😂😂😂

Yorkshire area meeting this Tuesday, 2nd September at The Buffers, Rakehill Road, Scholes, LS15 4AL from 7:30ish. Sorry for the late post.

I am ok. Nothing broken (including my bike, not sure how), I’m extremely black and blue though. Hit a concrete lined ditch at 35mph plus. Had there been a car coming the other way I think the outcome would’ve been very different. Haha, on this occasion I think you’ll find he copied me! 🤪

Hope you're not too badly hurt mate? Were you trying to copy Chris Froome? 😬

@ianali he got lost in Bewdley last weekend 🫣

That's a shame mate, hope you are ok!

Meet 7.30pm (or 7 ish, if eating) at the Golden Pheasant, Plumley.

Is it orange by any chance? 😂🙄🙄

Due to an increasing Labrador family, and hence the need to have a ‘practical’ 2nd car, I have had to make the painful decision to part with my much-loved Westfield. This is a factory-built car that I bought through Westfield as a 2nd owner. Vehicle registered new in 2001, I purchased in 2003 and it has been with me ever since. Jenvey / Dunnell engine upgrades all undertaken by Noble Motorsports at Chesterfield. Rolling road results (Northampton Motorsport) gave 187 BHP with the original ‘restrictive’ Westfield exhaust manifold fitted; this has since been upgraded to the Dunnell manifold (new BHP and Torque figures unknown!) Mileage is genuine and only 19,672 (full record of all MOT’s, receipts, etc) Most recent MOT undertaken in July ’25 (no advisory’s) along with full wheel alignment geometry checks / adjustments undertaken by Track Torque (Tockwith), along with rear wheel bearing replacements. This car has been meticulously maintained throughout my ownership, as demonstrated by the specification below. The bodywork has some crazing in the fibreglass as you’d expect for a Westfield of this age. Don’t really want to sell, but given I’m going to have to, I’d like it to stay within the WSCC if possible. £12,800 ono The car is located near York. Contact Martin for any enquiries mburge@sky.com Specification - Zetec 1800 engine, supplied new by Westfield Pipercross Air Filter (C603D) Jenvey Throttle bodies Dunnell Inlet Manifolds Dunnell Gas Flowed Cylinder Head Kent Cams Vernier Cam Pulleys Dunnell ZRV Camshafts ARP Rod Bolts Odyssey AGM Battery Magnecor HT Leads FSE Power Boost Valve Dunnell RMP 1960 4:1 Exhaust Manifold (non CAT) Wunnoff Repackable Exhaust Silencer Raceline Shallow Sump Gaz adjustable Monotube Dampers and Springs MBE Mappable ECU Engine Management Shift light (set @6800 rpm) 15” Team Dynamics Alloys with Toyo R888’s Ferodo Fast Road / Race Brake Pads all round Ducted nosecone Upgraded 4” Headlights Carbon effect Cycle Wings Carbon effect Stone Guards Carbon effect Rear Light Set Lockable Boot Westfield bespoke Fuel Tank with integral ‘Swirl Pot’ VDO Gauges Car will be supplied with – Original Westfield exhaust system (Integral CAT in silencer) Sidescreens, Roof Frame and Roof (I’ve only used twice) Internal Car Cover Original Westfield Dampers and springs Spare Wheel (never used), along with carrier.

Sadly can’t make this anymore. I came off my road bike on a descent whilst in Spain over the bank holiday weekend……

Sorry for the radio silence guys (work got in the way). Thank you all so much for all the responses, really appreciated. Plenty of options there for me to consider now. I'm not going to be able to make the Curborough event this Friday I'm afraid, but it does sound appealing having watched a few videos. I will look out for future events.

Looks like you’ll need an automatic 👍

You may well not be even slightly interested 😂 but if you fancy an Italian beauty give me an email hughtranter1000@gmail.com

Sorry can't make this one I shall be at the Clipper round the world race start event

I’m currently selling a Moto Guzzi 850 v7 stone 2022 model to fund a Westie, a possible swap if you were at all interested? cheers Hugh

We’re coming …… just getting prepared 🤔 for all eventualities 🤣

Ha! Ha! only picking them up Saturday night.

If you can measure the diameter of the bar, then they will be able to get it spot on for you.

Looks great how much longer should the straps be? Did you provide them dimensions? Mines an FW I assume it would be the same sizes as yours? Thanks

No water left in the canals, so we might as well drive up. See you Sunday 👍
