Great pre-war ride out today with John. Today we were riding a 1927 Model 90 Sunbeam (498cc single cylinder engine), 1938 Triumph Tiger 100 (498cc parallel twin cylinder engine), and a 1926 Norton Model 18 (490cc single cylinder engine).

John and I shot two videos today. The first was an update on his collection and what's changed since the last time we were there, which we worked out was about two years ago. The second video was a ride out on the the Sunbeam and the Triumph. Both of these videos will be on our YouTube channel over the next couple of weeks.

Special thanks to Pre-War Sammy (.sammy.33 on Instagram) and The National Motorcycle Museum for loaning us the bikes to ride today.

Spent the day with the Hitchcocks Motorcycles team today filming an inside look into their location, business and classic bike collection.

All the photos are self explanatory aside from the original drawings of Royal Enfield parts blueprints they recently required and have since scanned and uploaded online. That entire cabinet was filled with one-off drawings of Royal Enfield bikes and parts.

Full length video will be on our YouTube channel over the next week or so.

On Sunday, I headed down to the 2025 Heritage Sprint, a fantastic two-day racing event for classic bikes. This year saw an incredible array of riders and machines, and in this video, I'll be sharing a brief highlights of my time there. The video starts with a quick walk around the paddock, then goes into some practice runs and then racing. There was also some interesting bikes on display off track over in the tents and scattered around in the paddock so I took some footage of them, and anything else of interest.

This bike is a full nut and bolt restoration and it was completed by Jonathan (in shot).

Today we spent the day filming a YouTube video on his bike and these are a few photos we took while we were out. The bike is immaculate and looks and sound so lovely in the flesh.

Full length video of the bike will go on our YouTube channel.

Thank you to Jonathan for taking the time to come out and shoot with me.

1961 NSU Supermax (247cc single cylinder four stroke engine).

A German-engineered motorcycle from a brand that was once the world's largest motorcycle producer. This classic features the distinctive "Ultramax" camshaft drive system—an innovative design that was both quiet and reliable. Its pressed-steel frame and leading-link front suspension were also considered advanced for the era, contributing to its reputation for exceptional build quality.

Location is the South of England Showground, Selsfield Rd, Haywards Heath RH17 6TL, England, UK.

Thank you to Julie Diplock from Elk Proms for having us along on the day.
