Nice bike's John, looks like it was nice and sunny.

[Johnwebley]

it was Trig,

   I got there around 10,30 ish,and it was a little quiet,blamed it on the wet friday,

but as the day progressed,it filled up,looked like they were arriving till mid afternoon,

 its a great event,totally relaxed and cool,well behaved,the whole town seems to welcome the bike/bikers,

put it on your "bucket" list of meets to visit,


 sunday was totally different,soaking wet,between drizzel and heavy,good news is the new plug caps and coils/HT leads worked
perfectly,
but !! and a big BUT,

 the David Silver pattern disc pads are not much good in the wet,below about 50,and in traffic ,you need to keep dabbing the brake,dry and heat the disc up,

above 50 not quite so much,above 70 ish its ok,guess the higher spin rate drys the disc,
so,be carefull,if your out in the wet,

 anyone suggest a better wet weather pad ??

with standard discs

I have DSS cheepo pads I find them OK in the wet scratch your disk it makes a difference.Its two up riding when I find it hard to stop.

I did see your bike but not you! I really liked the bike though, ( pretty sure it was your bike as same steps it was parked by I think - about 100 yards down the street from kings arms. ) neat twin disk job and same covered chain guard as I intend fitting? It was a good day and deffinately worth a visit though car parking was limmited a bit and the kids were so excited by the bikes and live music that they were a handfull.
