As I was Marshalling the whole day I barely got time to take any photos.

However, I'm curious as to whether anyone can identify the last scooter photo's donor bike. (I think I've worked out what it is by the forks )

RTA 125 ?

Its a honda helix

I figured it either was or it had a Helix front end at least.

Im pretty sure its the whole thing with home made exhaust Ive not long brought a clone helix .There was one at German treffen the same bit better finish tho but I like the rat look .Mines dropping to bits so may end up like that LOL great fun tho to ride and work on.Julian

Is that what inspired the Ruckus?

Does this mean you wore a big hat and tin star or simply stating your amplification preference!

Nice pics as usual.

I assumed it was Helix based because I recognised the forks and wheels but I don't really know what a Helix looks like under the plastics so couldn't be certain. I liked it FWIW, especially the low slung box tank.

It makes you think doesn't it?

Sadly neither (I'm a Peavey endorsee for starters ).

The big hat and tin star would have been more impressive but less obvious than the hi-vis vest with "Brightona Marshal" stencilled on it!

As Mr Angry will no doubt confirm it's a pretty similar job at any big bike event. Basically a lot of walking and standing around, taking money, telling people that yes they DO have to pay just like everyone else, telling people they can't park in places, directing them in, about and out again without them causing themselves or anyone else any harm and getting the visiting "rock stars" to their various stages without them messing up their hair.

It's pretty similar to herding cats at times.
