I played a gig at the Drum and Monkey many many years ago.  I think it was a MAG rally, I remember being paid in beer.

Thanks for posting the Bikers Nite events.  It's a long way from home but I should be able to manage one or two.   I'm up that way most days in the van (just got back from Bourton in the Water) so I may not want to do the trip twice in one day.

  hope to see you at some,

 I really fancy doing the Welsh Rally thing,Welshpool is only 60 miles away,so as long as

Out and about in India. No SOHC's but stayed brand loyal with Honda Active. Great little scooter for popping around the villages and beaches (minding the cows walking I the roads though!!!). Plenty of Enfields but some roads not good in places and bits seem to fall off them quite easily

Sounds like you had a lovely ride out John. Beautiful day here also but, unfortunately the Jungle, sorry, the garden needed me so no bike riding today. I had a ride out on Thursday on the only bike we have which is not SORN'd at present, a CD250u, great fun although a bit chilly, especially after India  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Went out for a blast today, only 56 miles, along the coast road to Bridgend.  Really enjoyed opening the tap on the old girl, overtaking 25 cars and a tractor in one hit.  Not something I can get up to in the van.  Back home for breakfast with my spirit recharged.  Brilliant.

Yup, lovely Good Friday, ready for Bad Saturday. I took out the pedal bike, the 400 and the 750 in that order.

Looking forward to similar days to come, albeit with less cold weather gear on.

Cheers all and enjoy,

D.
