    Another day, another chance to browse some very nice machinery….

    Bimota steering fun…

    Met Nathan Millward: he took a little postman’s bike from Australia to UK. The little postie was livid! Nice lad – this was about 9.15am so we had time for a good chat. Bought his books – the reviews are excellent..

    Green & mean

    BMWs best looking bike bar none (IMHO)

    CCM kindly lowered their 450GP Adventure bike for me and other short-arses: they now offer 4 seat heights. Test ride chalked in for next year in Bolton. Lighter than a lot of 250s at 125kg this could be the perfect solo adventurer (not ideal with a pillion plus her luggage…  ::) ) for non-tarmac routes.

    Nice trumpet

    Radar, what’s this one?  :D

    Bit of a skinny front wheel…

    but the back tyre looks nice.

    The specials are something else – my closet Back Street Hero alter ego loves this show!

    The Spectre Norton, anyone?

    P1090104_zpslsvaujhv.jpg
    Hmmmmm….

    P1090105_zpseii4em5u.jpg
    Less violent Norton.

    Our TT 2015 mate Ol working hard, as usual. Some people never relax….

    P1090107_zps7icqz81g.jpg
    Nice….

    The Millyard Viper, an 8-litre 10-cylinder moped chucking out 500hp. Started it up: sounded very calm compared to last year’s magnificent H2R but the back-fires after each throttle blip were certainly impressive….

    Thought you’d like to see Steve Parrish in action….

    Well, it was another really good year: I bought books & DVDs; Jed got some strange Korean salt-powered re-usable heat pouches. I look forward to his review….    8)

    Some excellent pics there, looks like a good show and that you really enjoyed yourself. I wonder the picture of Ol’s is a bit fuzzy??

    Had my paparazzi hat on – this was a snatched photo at long range with a small camera: Ol was working so hard that he created a local heat haze that steamed up the lens…. ;D
