At one time, I'd never been to the great and glorious Stafford Motorcycle Show, and every time I tried to get there, something always went wrong. Somehow I've now managed to attend twice a year with the Cub Mag in one form or another. April 2014 was quite a trip, starting with having to stop off in Aberdeen at a parcel depot to collect the freshly printed Cub Mags - issue 9. This was the first time I had outsourced printing and I might have left it a day or two too late to have them delivered to Cubbie Towers. The parcel place was shrouded in thick fog and it took us a while to find it, but luckily Edward Turner Bear was on the case. He sniffed them out.

| Find 200 Cub Mags in there somewhere! |
 |
Good ol' Eddy Bear, he found 'em.
The next weather upset was torrential rain and more fog with the traffic at a standstill in various places on the motorway south. |
 |
| The View. More than once. |
We set out our stall next to Greystones, with magazines, mugs and tee shirts on display, ready to meet and greet subscribers old and new.
 |
| All set up and ready to roll! |
 |
| The Robster and Uncle Stu left in charge of the stand while GBC & MFM nip off to have a look at some of the more unusual machines at the show..... |
 |
.....like this one....
|
 |
| And some neat racers! |
 |
| I wouldn't even bother to restore it, just ride it. |
 |
| Yeah yeah yeah! |
 |
| And YEAH again! |
 |
| Ok, no. |
 |
| Tempting....... |
 |
| Nope, maybe not. |
 |
| But this, well, yes, I can probably fund the purchase of this for a future project! |
 |
| Oh, and I'd love something like this one day... |
