    If the weather holds I will be there with Stu, my BMW riding mate from work, along for company

    I might even dust off the MV

    Best social meet for a long time: TT buddies Radar, Ol and Geoff; old mates John, Dave & Carol; Geoff’s friend Michelle on her Harley; Dave’s brother Colin on his bigger Harley; Karl & Stuart; and Jed delivered Debs safely. Debs trying out some new bike gear ready for Spain, so of course it did rain a bit. But it’s only water…  :D

    This is John’s lovely 2002 Kwacker for sale – £2k-ish, I think: a bargain!

    Good turnout despite the slippery cobbles

    Biker Debs with her bitch? Sorry Carol! xx

    So it rained, but a great time was had by all!
    The range of real ales and ciders was excellent; they had a pizza oven in full swing as well as the usual hot dogs & burgers. Some really nice bikes, old and new, and Triumph Explorers outnumbered GS 1200s. Result!      8)

    It was a good night and rocking up the Thundercat meant the MV didn’t get wet. Great to see some of the TT crew again and meet some new folk.

    I was surprised at the big turnout with the iffy weather

    I will had some pics tomorrow myself

    I reckon their were 12 of us altogether on 3 Triumph Explorer 1200s, 2 BMW GS1200, a 883 Harley, a 636 Kwack, my Thundercat and Skoda Fabia (Good old kat). Big E, well done!

    Anyway picture time…

    After a glorious day the weather was pretty iffy for the evening, but it didn’t stop there being a strong turnout. Bikes in an orchard adjacent to a National Trust pub, slightly surreal!

    Bikers were coming and going all evening and over-spilled out into the village itself

    Who doesn’t love a Monkey Bike, especially in these funky colours…note true to period Top Tek lid too!
