Bump....2015 event this coming Mon the 29th June.

[moto_traxport]

Will be there. Have now found the headlights for my road / track bike and will endeavour to put them in on Sunday. Look out for a very shabby 98 red seat R1 with ropey fairing and blue tank. Concours she is not!

Also going to Horse & Harrow, West Hagbourne on Thu 14 July, weather and work dependant.

Went last year and enjoyed a mooch around - great atmosphere with bikes as far as you could see.

Not sure I can make it this year though

Thanks for the reminder, will definitely head along. Is it more of a classics, sports bike, or nobody gives a monkeys type of event?

[13aines]

All sorts!

Last year I saw sports bikes, custom bikes, naked bikes, scooters, cruisers, harleys, trikes, and classic bikes

Spot on, thats what makes it such a great event.

[Petemate]

I'll be there with my little tiddler (bike that is lol) 233cc LA Custom JDM. Mr Honda called it a 250, like a lot of his other bikes with basically the same engine, but not as quick as my old CB250 G5...

[daimatt]

I'll be there on my 996, although it gets so busy the chances of meeting are slim I'll keep my eye out

[J B L]

Anyone going down from the Rugby / Coventry area? Could be tempted to go and have a look.

[J B L]

Bump.

Definitely going now.

[MattOz]

Definitely going to this. will be the first time, so looking forward to it,

[Petemate]

Well, I hope you all enjoyed it. I definitely did, and got a nice place on the front row of the classics. Wow - there were thousands there today. I fair ran my little legs off, the arthritis is really throbbing now. Worth it though, some tasty bikes there. I was amazed at how quiet and respectable-sounding most of the Brit classics were.
Great afternoon/eve.
Pete


PS I later removed the fact sheet from its 'naff' position and placed it on the seat lol

I went, sorry didn`t see your bike petemate, it was absolutely rammed, but I did see John Mcguinness though, didn`t take any photos ether, lots of nice bikes there as always.

Went for the first time in a few years, broke down entering the village itself (charging issues at the moment!) and had a wander round. In comparison to previous years the organisers have been a lot more efficient in getting the bikes safely parked away from the road than in past years but it is killing the atmosphere a bit.

Saw John McGuiness cheerfully signing autographs and then bump started the R1 and raced the setting sun home with no headlamps, indicators, brake lights or working instruments - bloomin' thing!

[Moulder]

Nice weather, beers (cycled there), and lots of bikes. Photo's below, more what caught my eye than a typical cross section...

Never mind - proud as I am of my efforts, they paled into insignificance whenI clocked all the other classics, esp all the Brit ones, a lot of models of which had previously owned. Yes, even a Vincent.
I did enjoy listening to all the BSAs and Triumphs arriving - they sounded so civilised and looked great.


Moulder - you took some great pics. I did take a lot but my phone was not set right somehow, or maybe it was the light or too much sun. They all came out cr@p.
