Calne Bike day

<< < (6/6)

Laverda Dave:
Great day out yesterday, thanks to John for the heads up to the event.

Sorry I missed you Roo, I was hanging around the fire rescue unit for about 30 minutes but very difficult to pick out a biker in that huge crowd!

Some fantastic bikes, stalls, people, bands and roads. I took a few photos. The speedway display was great especially with the bikes being fired up and given a full warm up with no silencers fitted (as they should be). The rotary speedway bike was a lovely piece of engineering. Plenty of RE 650’s, they are very tempting. I have never seen so many MK1 Triumph Speed Triples all in one place for years. The CBX was a tasty looking special with its high mounted six into six pipes under the seat. The restored 50cc Simson was a lovely bike, sounded great and good to see the tiddlers being given some TLC as that where most of us started.

I followed the Suzi 250/500 Gamma out from the event Roo, a haze of two stroke up the road.

A great day, 240 miles on the VFR around the Cotswolds and Bucks there and back.

Laverda Dave:

Oddjob:
Lesters on a K3, what a waste  ::)

Love the CBX, proper bit of engineering to make that exhaust.
