Couldn't see one of these so thought I'd while away Friday afternoon.

As I was supposed to homeless at the end of May I haven't really organised anything at all but as house situation is now sorted I find myself at loose end.

So my options seem to be

World Superbikes at Donington
World Rallycross at Lydden
Club stuff at Snetterton
Bike Shed Custom Bike Show in London
Plain ole ride to the coast (Sunday looking cheeriest on the weather)

Anyone else doing bikey stuff this weekend?

Tempted by the bike shed show at Tabacco dock, you going?
Not sure now. Chatted to a mate who has been before and he said it was a bit too 'Shoreditch Lifestyle' what with the checked shirts, tattoos, beards and barbers etc

I went to the Revival custom show at the Austin MotoGP in Texas last year and that was great, free to get in (as opposed to £18), free wall of death show and varied visitors from sportsbike riders, thru Harley chaps to the retro hipster blokes and it seemed fairly inclusive. Bikeshed thing looks in danger of disappearing up itself.

Trip to the coast won out in the end. Six counties, a few punch ups with sportsbikes, tossers in Audis and confused Bank Holiday folk.

Yamaha Tracer slightly more uncomfy two up than an old R1 - who would have thought?! Must buy the comfy seat option thingy when it's having it's first service next weekend.
