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
August 24, 2016 at 10:51 pm #69259elessimoParticipantBest 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…
Parking in the apple orchard
Some of the old geezer crowd: Ol, Karl, Radar, Stuart, Geoff and John
This is John’s lovely 2002 Kwacker for sale – £2k-ish, I think: a bargain!
Immaculate A10
Mates in the paddock
Good turnout despite the slippery cobbles
Biker Debs with her bitch? Sorry Carol! xxSo 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!August 24, 2016 at 10:55 pm #69260elessimoParticipant
Michelle
Gentleman GeoffAugust 24, 2016 at 11:06 pm #69261RadarModeratorIt 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
August 25, 2016 at 9:24 pm #69262RadarModeratorI 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!
The Fleece, a classically beautiful English pub…
The place was packed, great atmosphere
Mind you they let anybody in….
I had eaten all the salad so Ollie had to settle for a Pizza…he looks most distressed….
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!
Radical chop, don’t know quite what motor that is, looks very Harley, but not 100% sure
Rat Triumph complete with beer can breather…nice touch
Just another old Triumph twin special, then you clock the carbon and wavy disc brake
Some stunning sports bikes here too, this Ducati caught my eye for obvious reasons…it’s ferkin’ gorgeous!
Another stunning V Twin, but somewhat older…the mighty Vincent
Jota…the business
Cool, neatly turned out Beezer
Spanish OSSA..a proper rarity, first one I have seen in the wild
I love an LC me…nicely done YPVS/LC hybridSo some great bikes in the best of company and everybody raising money for a good cause….can’t be bad!

I make it 13 – not bad for a wet Wednesday in Bretforton!
