Me too. I'll be going the scenic route to get lots of bends in on the way.

Brilliant day saw Onanist briefly plus meet up with family and my uncles friemd Wally who has just given up riding his Bonnie aged 93 after he fell off and broke his collar bone. He was an ex speedway rider and was telling me tales about his rotation of 4 JAP engines and how he could tell you which engine it was in the bike just by the way it delivered the power.
Very tempted to buy a fully restored BSA B44 VICTOR SPECIAL 1970 for £2500 it was immaculate like new but not an original restoration but a reimagining if you for modern times. Also very fond of an Orange Rickman Metisse that was there.

Coming home I popped into Riders and saw a really clean White Lightning and had a really good chat with the owner who is from Bristol and lurks around the forum hopefully he will sign up and join us for some events.

All in all a superb day :dance:

Saw one XB which was parked opposite my 1125, an S1 and an M2 I think. I know it's herrasy but I really don't know which tuber is which.

Yep, a top day.
Good to see Daywalker. Bumped into Thorkill the Tall as well who was trying to scarper off without saying hello.
Seen a blue 9R, what must have been Lee's S1, a couple of X1's and a nice looking cherry bomb 12S.
I didn't see Coppers' 1125 though.
A beautiful sunny day though not so hot that you were swan vesta'd.
A huge array of kit on show again, here's a couple of my faves of the day,

Finished the day off by popping in to Bowood House for some more live music and a laze about in the afternoon sun.

Bangin'

I was in Calne on Saturday with UKMOC. The monster trike was parked on the club stand, surrounded by other Ducati's in front of the town hall. 1st time I've ever been to the show. Fantastic day out.. I'll try to make it down again next year :yup:

There's another big show on at Popham on 19th August

I've been a couple of times and it's a great event
