Weston Super Mare - Bike Meet
Discussion
I've been a few times, busy when the weather is good. it;s not bad and I went about 4 weeks ago and must have been about 500 bikes attending from Choppers to sports bikes, scooters etc.. and it was a lovely ride their and the weather was perfect.
But their is a Huge police presence. A shame as it's only the 1% who ride like dicks there but does mean when you get with in 5 miles of WSM you need to keep a eye on your speed.
But saying that I had a good old chat with a Ex policeman who was manning the "Non Working" Speed camera they had set up about speeding, do's a don't and general bike and police stuff.
Worth going if you have never been as long as you don't need to travel to far. I'm about a hour away and thats taking the nice back roads there.
If your more than 2- 2 1/2 hours away I would not bother as people get their about 6 and leave by 8-9PM

Rema has summed it up pretty well; just remember to have a quid handy for parking (it goes to the poppy appeal).
Just for reference a photographer goes along each week and you can see/buy the pictures here for a £5 donation to the British Legion - https://www.flickr.com/photos/westonsupermarebiken...

Hope you have a great ride and the turn out should be good with the weather we have had today
Had a smashing ride down and home, took me just over 2 hours with a fuel stop..I thought the meet was really good, nice atmosphere and teh setting was lovely, ive not been to a meet before that a mobile tyre fitter rocks up to, and a seamstress to repairs your leathers!
I've never seen a Jawa like the one behind the KH400 before.
Was that a production bike or something someone has lashed up?
Edited to say that it was a real bike, possibly this one.

Glad you got a photo of the obligatory LC, had my first ever bike crash on the back of one the same colour.
