It's time for another trip to the Netherlands and we've been to the jumble at Heerhugowaard again. We've brought you reports from here before, but his is the first time we've brought you pictures of the Springtime version of the jumble.
The
first bike to catch our eye as we went through the door was this
Benelli.
This
Magneet was on sale for €550.
If you didn't want to spend that much, you
could buy this Sach Saxonette for just €50 ... and it's an
electric start one too.
Or you could spend a little bit
more and have this MV Avusta Liberty for €3,750. There
was another Liberty on sale ... but more of that later...
A Union Polaris - This must be an unusual bike
because we can't remember seeing one before.
You could even buy a sign to go with it.
Honda PS50, the sporty version of the PC50 ...
well, in looks ... perhaps.
A Motobécane
VéloSoleX 3800 with all the extras.
This Amstel 707 has been a centrefold pin-up
in Bromfiets magazine
This
Lohmann mounted on a Göricke bicycle was fitted with a
roller pressure regulator...
And
here's a closer view at that device.
A
new NSV engine
Torpado carrier moped
A
shiny Berini
Not
for sale: this Le Poulain engined Automoto was an exhibit on the
RHC-Nederland stand.
A
Ducati M55
1962 Sparta Sport on sale at €850
Motom
48S
Another Lohmann - this one is the Spanish-made
version.
Ducati Cucciolo
Several people ride to the
jumble, so it's worth taking a look outside every so often -
especially if it's a sunny day like today. Just outside the
entrance is a pair of Sparta mopeds: a Buddy and a Rocky.
Several bikes parked along
the fence - these are mostly Kreidlers and Zündapps.
This is a Zündapp
GTS50.
This military-style customised Puch was
outrageous enough for a second picture.
This Piaggio
Ape was for sale...
...but this one was for show.
Moto Morini Corsarino
Honda Benly 50
DKW
A pair of Yamaha fifties
Batavus Coronet
A
Benelli in typical Italian sports 50 style.
We're
back indoors now and looking at an Avada moped; the engine is by
HMW.
A box of bits - on the top is a cover plate
for the Dutch-built version of the Mosquito 38.
A pair of Italian sports mopeds:
on the right is a Garelli Rekord and on the left, a Demm - one of
the 2-stroke models.
This was the 25th time this jumble
had been held and, in celebration, everyone who came could enter
a free prize draw; this Bianchi Aquilotto was the prize.
We
weren't here just to take pictures; here's Guy haggling for some
Ducati Cucciolo parts.
...while Danny practises the traditional craft
of speedo cable weaving.
A Derbi Antorcha, with a couple of spare
engines, and the frame of another Antorcha.
A
Mosquito - we think we've seen this one being offered for sale at
previous jumbles.
Mosquito Centrimatic
Up near the top of the page we
said there was a second MV Agusta
Liberty at the jumble. This is it. The engine is on
the table and there are more engine spares in the grey box.
But, the thing about this one was ... it was coming home with
us.
The car loaded up ready for the journey
home. It all fitted in, even the Liberty in in there.
That wasn't quite the end of our trip: in his continuing quest for Ducati Cucciolo bits, Guy had arranged to drop in at one of the stallholders' homes. This gave us the opportunity to indulge another of our favourite activities: looking round other people's sheds and garages.
So, here we are - and it's quite a
large garage with several classic cars inside: a few Jaguars, a
Lancia, an Airstream camper...
There's a 4-stroke Demm here, and
a Ducati Cucciolo. There's a big Ducati too at the
back.
Danny's spotted a Pegaso ... he'd
like one of those.
There's another Cucciolo up
there.
There's an Aston Martin in here
too.
While we were
there, we met Olly.
On the way to the ferry, the car was even more heavily laden...
...we said Danny
wanted a Pegaso.
