This weekends pictures (Not a lot of SOHC content)

So this weekend I was off to my mates camp out. I left Friday around 1:30pm as I had a 2 .5hr ride



An uneventful ride later and I was there



My mate Pete was already there with his BSA 3 Wheeler but in true Top Gear style "I was the first to arrive"  .

The canvas cell was soon up and the kettle was on

Who says I cheat? 



Soon my mate Ian arrived on his Velocette Viper




Then Bryan arrived on his Enfield fresh from a 6 week, 3500 mile tour of the States. Bryan is 72 !



After yarn telling and lie swapping it soon time for dinner so we adjourned to the pub. They had a great ale called A taste of Spring and in the cause of research to ensure you all got a good idea what it was like I sampled......a few!!

While we researching  my pal LJ arrived with his BSA M21

So a good night was had by all

In the morning it was primus stove fettling time for most of the lads. I use gas as it's much easier but this morning I was mostly cooking bacon and sausage on a disposable barbeque  . These primus's are all very old. Pete had one made in 1911 and once it was going it was brilliant.



After brekkies it time for the road run out, Ian had to leave as he had a phone call telling him some scrote had set his van on fire.

The Lincolnshire wolds really is a nice place for a run out we stopped at Wragby for a beer.......I mean lunch





Left to right we have Bryan, LJ, me and Pete it also runs in age that way too.

At our stop I gave Pete's lad my camera to get some action shots

Causing a stir at the petrol stop



We rode some tiny roads with either deep gravel up the middle or grass. It was great

I took some video with the mobile (sorry it's sideways)

I'm not sure which link will work but one should. The banging noise you can hear is Bryans loud pipe on his Enfield

[PMK]

It was then back to camp to chill out for a while. I indulged myself with greek coffee and a book



All too soon it was time to go to the pub again (shame that)  and this was waiting for us



It was great !! a nice light coloured pale ale that sank nicely. LJ went out to get himself some dinner and came back like this



Pizza delivery WW2 style. We all then foresaw that in the future pizza will be delivered by small boys on scooters fitted with huge topboxes!!

We all left early this morning as some were going to Newark Autojumble. We had a great time this weekend and I'm thinking of doing a SOHC one next year so you'll have no excuse.

Nice pics,
Velocette Viper?
Isn't that one of those bikes that sell for a squintillion

[PMK]

Well now, That Viper is lovely and has certain Venom parts inserted into it.

It goes like stink.

Plus its worth loads as it's nicely patinated
