Pre 65 at Cadwell
On the 27th it was the annual pre 65 trial organized by the Poachers section of the AJS and Matchless owners club. The entry was free, the facilities being kindly donated by the owners of Cadwell park, Motor Sport vision Ltd. A collection was being made in aid of the Air Ambulance.
Over 100 entrants took part in the trial, braving the cold weather and damp conditions.

The Lincolnshire section of the Royal Enfield owners club had their Christmas dinner last night at the Marmion arms, Haltham near Horncastle. The landlord prepared a marvellous 5 course meal with choices for starters and mains and sweets.The service was excellent. After the meal the landlord had arranged a quiz based on a christmas theme, and then we had a raffle which raised £62.00 for charity. Many thanks to Barry for organizing and for all his work throughout the year.
This is a Picture of the new ROYAL ENFIELD ELECTRA WOODSMAN launched at the NEC show this week. Notice the left hand exhaust and the rear set gear and brake controls, trials bar and sump plate.
This is the De-luxe version with chrome guards. The price starts from £3895.00 for the Woodsman and £3995.00 for the de-lux version. The bike will be on sale from the spring of 2008 to continue the hugely successful range of Royal Enfields.
Did you see the NEW ROYAL ENFIELD Engine for 2009 to meet the Euro 3 regulations and the new Royal Enfield Electra Woodsman at the NEC stand in November.
Because of these regulations the importers Watsonian Squire have had to bring in extra stock of bikes to meet demand.
The old iron engined classic bike of the 50's will no longer be available once these stocks have run out but they expected to last well into 2008 unless there is a rush.
So place your orders soon for the new Woodsman or any other model you may fancy because when stocks are gone they will be gone.
We have demonstrators for you to try, just bring your helmet and licence and have a go.
