DAY TRIP TO FELIXSTOWE

by Andrew Roddham

On Sunday 7th March [1982], five machines set out from Ipswich to the Triangle Motor Cycle Club exhibition: Ride East '82.  They were a Norman Autocycle, ridden by Andrew Pattle; three Cyclemasters ridden by Simon Whitehead, Kevin Mallone, and Andrew Roddham; and a Phillips Panda, ridden by John Law.

A large number of British motor cycles were entered. Parked on the lawn beside the Pier Pavilion, Felixstowe, they created a great deal of interest amongst the visitors to the exhibition.

One prize was awarded to the smaller machines.  The award for the most original machine was presented to Andrew Roddham.  His Cyclenaster was "so original that it still had the rust on it".  The prize was donated by Dave Bickers Motorcycles of Ipswich.

The EACC also had some exhibits in the "Motorcycling through the ages" section.  These were a Power Pak (K Mallone), a Winged Wheel unit (A Roddham), a Mini-Motor and a James Superlux (A Pattle).

The exhibition and rally provided an enjoyable afternoon to all those who took part, and we hope to enter again next year.
