Went along to the Vintage Bike Club's annual May Bank Holiday meet and ride out this afternoon, at Hesket Newmarket in Cumbria, and thought I'd share some pics with y'all..



























Wide variety of machines, and some real stunners - notably the Phill Read Honda 750 replica that looked like it had just come out of the factory, and the Velocette in the last pic. The owner of the Velocette had to change the plugs to persuade it to start, but when it did it sounded awesomecloud9
The prize for best exhaust note went to a Ducati Pantah 900 ears , but my camera battery went before I could get a photo... (Not that that would have let you hear what it sounded like nuts )

One little bit of video I got - linky

Edited to try and fix the video...

Aye - my Bandit is parked behind the red car on the far left of the shot, in the photo just above the Rossi Bear photo. Never had a classic bike, but when money allows, would love an old Triton cafe racer....
