That was a good little evening meet in nice winter sunshine, a good mix of old British bikes and old Jap bikes, very interesting, particularly interesting was the fantastic restoration some bloke was blathering about to anyone that would listen .....on his Fireblade!!!! WTF!
He went on to say its done 13K miles from new!! ......RESTORATION!!!?? ......Nob-head!
Anyway I met up with some lads I met on the SOHC Honda forum, the cafe was nice and I had a good blast back, I was followed some part of the way by a bloke on an old Triumph scrambler with no lights, it was dusk and I could only just see him, he wasn't even wearing hi-viz.

By the time the sun had gone down it was bloody freezing. Heated grips ....how did I manage without them?
I got back to the Lanky at about 9pm and managed to drink nearly half my pint of vinegar before putting it on the bar and buggering off home, funny I don't remember asking for half a pint of vinegar!!!
A different evening from usual, one I'll be doing again, when the weather is a little warmer hopefully
