We have bike nights every night of the week in Lincolnshire at all different places. We went to a different one tonight at the Duke of Wellington Pub in Leasingham near Sleaford. Not a huge turn out of bikes but great fish and chips. But......this pulled in. Ridden by a woman, with a female friend on the back seat. Whatever this thing is, it's bloody hideous but they were happy so that's all that matters 😏😏😏😏😏 [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

That is a Reliant Robin chassis and engine, minus the bodywork!

Box Hill......looks over where we used to live in Brockham. There was a CB 400RR/ VFR 400 Importer who had a Garage on Box Hill when I lived there in the early 2000's. I bought a Japanese Import CB750 (DOHC) from BAT Motorcycles at Biggin Hill but it died when the throttle was opened quickly. I took it to the place on Box Hill and they sorted out the Limiter and it flew after that. Commuted into London for about 6 months on that bike.........one of the few bikes I sold for more than I originally paid for it (that's why I remember it) !
Now: 2008 CB1300S, CB750K4, 1970 Bonneville. Various other 1960's 650 Triumph T120's/ TR6's/ TR6C's (all in bits...many, many bits unfortunately). Previous: 2007 CB600FA, 1976 CB500 Four. BMW F800ST. GS750E. ZZR1100. CB1300 (2). ZXR1200S. VFR800. CB750 Nighthawk. CX500. XS500 Yam. Suzuki GT500. BSA A10. Various Lambrettas. Zundapp Bella (honest).

Two exceptional looking bikes there John.  Love the CB160  :)
Could do with a bike night around west London, the Ace has become boring and it's not even a decent ride to get to either unless you like three lane, speed enforced roads :-[

Yes, totally bored with Ace cafe. I've trawled forums, biker websites, the lot. Cannot find a biker's night anywhere within a rideable distance from me (Hertfordshire).

it was ,and after leaving the BT sport Moto GP team,he still doing the endurance (long distance) not enduro .

 the next race is live on Eurosport ,later in september


 think it is 2 weeks after the Goodwood Revivalmeeting ,normally streamed live ,well worth watching .if you enjoy classic vehicles racing .

including Ford GT40 and VERY expensive Ferarris ,even A35 and A 40 racers !!!

I've also looked around me. Not a lot. Went to the VJMC meet and 4 turned up. Chilterns would be a good area for me.

I used to ride to the cricketers pub in Sarratt near Watford on I think, Wednesday nights a few years ago. Plenty of bikes always in attendance but always modern stuff so got a bit repetitive (and the drinks and burgers were really expensive). I don't know if it still happens, the rich locals kept complaining about the noise and crowds of bikers looning around 'their' roads.
