Hi John,

Typically. I am not going tonight. I'll off to JapBikeFest Sunday and then doing a little tour of the Westcountry. So polishing up my bike tonight.

Have fun.

great venue,lovely turnout and weather,although it is getting nippy at night,
just over 55miles each way for me,but a nice ride out,and the burger were tasty and reasonably priced -))))

few pics,only 3 SOHCs that I saw,a 550 with single pipe,a 750 cafe racer and mine


the H2 was for sale at £11,500 !!!!!!!

looked like a "dry" joint,
