Just obtained the rather nice pamphlet about the Guinness crazy travelling clock that did the rounds in the US being a replica of the original for the Festival of Britain Pleasure Gardens at Battersea, London in 1951.

| 1971 Mini Cooper Convertible with race exhaust, carb, suspension, K&N filter, 12" wheels and gas flowed Wicks head. Gorgeous. |
Well fortunate to be able to get personal plates for the '75 RD350, '76 RD400 and the '78 DT400 Yams. Love them. Looking for a '79 RD400F/Daytona and a '77 RD400D to complete the Yam collection.

| Stumbled across this bit of trivia by accident. The company I am employed by is based in Readng, PA. I noted, while looking through one of my bike books, that Reading had a motorcycle manufacturer in the early 20th Century. They were quite innovative being the first bike company to use a side valve engine. They were bought out by the Cleveland motorcycle company who dropped the Reading name prior to Cleveland themselves failng because of the 1929 Wall Street crash. |
Rode this for the first time around the garden last night. What a beauty. Brought back great memories from the late 70's when I rode my DT125D dual shock. Just the same but with three times more power and tremendous fun. Brilliant.

| Got another guide, can't resist. Now have copies from 1935, 39, 48 and 52. One had a surprise within namely a letter from 1951 signed by Guinness' MD at the time, A H Hughes. |
