David Silver sohc 4cyl anniversary day

[K2-K6]

Really good day out,  and to meet quite a few more forum members too. 

When I left I saw John sneaking off toward the coast so turned back and followed out to Aldeburgh for a walk along the front (on the basis that there's usually good pie and beer in the offing if John's heading that way  ) anyway, very nice place on the coast for a walk in evening sunlight.  Got called by my son while "road testing" a particularly good bag of chips,  oh the guilt of being found out at the seaside when my initial application of family leave was issued on the basis of spending a day loitering in an industrial estate 

Well worth the day out with so many great bikes to see.

Great day out!
Saw some great bikes, talked 'bikes' a lot and met a bunch of friendly Forum members to boot! 

Oh and added a chunk of money to Mr Silvers bank account!!

The 4 members on the left of the photo look ready to break into a Full Monty (in the dole queue) dance routine!

Yep, I based my "outfit" on a loose YMCA approximation  left the building safety hat at home though

Great photo

And good photo.
But doesn't show the humour.


Saturday night I walked into town. Purely by chance I met a couple from the bike show.and we went to Cinnamon Indian restaurant.
Very good service. Food and not expensive.

Got home about 3pm today. Not to affected by the weather. But got  rained on twice. At Cambridge and Worcester.
492 miles door to door.
Any volunteers to clean the CB??

Great to see a bike used and to meet the owner. I’ll do yours if you do mine .

Cheers

 Great to meet you all, and it's good to see these old bikes being used as they were intended, 492 miles is a good run out, That's more than I've done all year on my 400. Note to self I must get out more.

I agree it’s great to see these old machines being used as they were intended still,also nice to see the “showroom condition “ ones too.I’ve put 1350 miles on my 750F since buying her and done nowt to her but oil change and fuel.Will give her a tidy up during winter months.
Wish I’d got there earlier to meet some of the forum members,have I possibly spoken to  you at Jacks Hill cafe Greg65 on a Gold K2? Near neighbours to you and Windycorner

[davefirestorm]

Just looked at your avatar Greg and see it’s unlikely you I spoke to at Jacks

Not in picture but also present for at least part of the day:

Greg65, davefirestorm (any others - let me know)

Thanks also to camera-person Mrs Windycorner (Ian's camera).

[K2-K6]

The fine camera operator was "Mrs Corner" of windycorner  using Mr Oggie's camera Steve.

I really had a good time at both this and Crich this year,  couple of days nattering about these old bikes with decent people,  happy days.

[SteveD CB500K0]

Thanks Nigel. I fixed that.

Told you all I was rubbish at names...

Well Ash looks nothing like I expected him too, with all his knowledge I expected a white lab coat and specs (and a slight crouch if I'm honest) 

Maybe next time if I can restore one of the 500s I'll be able to attend, work is progressing but it's slow as most of the parts need either chroming, BZP or powder coating. Only the parts being resprayed are coming on although I do have the first lot in the chromers as we speak.
