Rugby bikefest Sun 22nd May

[Bianco2564]

Next weekend, free entry, ride in.

Weather looks ok at the moment, if dry will go on the Honda, SS125 that is, no one wants to look at the scooter.

You really are a Billy Sugger

[billy sugger]

Ah well, it was a good little bimble, just used a different route back. 

On a side note, I'm really missing my 500. on the twisties the 600 is rapid but the engine is very vibey and I'm starting to get cramp in my hand holding the throttle open, which is something I've not had on any of my other bikes

[Ian Frog]

@billy sugger did you find a route that avoided the tedium of the A14 then?

Cheers

Ian

[MikeHorton]

I'm off to this one 26th June looks quite good!

[Ian Frog]

That's the way we came.

Un no particular order just some things we saw that were interesting or just different. 

Being invited to join the ride in was nice and we filtered in with the monkey bike crowd which made me feel very tall l.

cheers

Great morning out today, big turnout.

Quite a lot in interest in the Honda, lot of people didn't recognise it.

Forgotten how slow it is and how rubbish the brakes are

 

 

[MikeHorton]

Looks like it was a great day 

[Ian Frog]

Hi @Bianco2564 I see you spotted the monkey bike contingent lol.

It was a hoot riding in with them.

I also spotted that LC and the RG350 beside it, both looked nice and used and definitely not trailer queens.

We Parked the ZRX down near the Courthouse pub and enjoyed a leisurely stroll about and was very impressed with the numbers who turned out.

Only saw 2 Gen 1 Busas and one Streetglide and 1 Tigger 1050 so I am glad I took Rexxy as I didn`t see another one there.

Cheers

@MikeHorton it seems to get more popular every year, big crowds along the ride in route, must be a fantastic sight and sound.

@Ian Frog I passed a blue and silver Busa that had conked out as the ride in got into town, saw him a while later getting a bump start. Where did you meet up with the monkey bikes?

[Ian Frog]

Met the monkey bikes at a roundabout on the road to Crick when a marshal looked over her shoulder and asked if we were goint to the festival so I said yes and she said feel free to join the ride in !

We were parked opposite that H1 in your pics lol.

Cheers

Got distracted at the Stratford Autojumble, you’d gone by the time I got there.
