Just a few photo’s from the 2007 NEC Bike Show.

We kicked off the day with our usual grand meetup at Fromes Hill Cafe, where we were joined by Bonzo and Ray — because what’s a ride without a few mates and a solid breakfast to start the engine? As always, the food was top-notch, probably making every other cafe Read more…

Grindleford Station Cafe was the chosen destination for today’s ‘quick’ ride out — well, quick by biker standards, anyway. It was only 80 miles away, but we were on a serious time crunch. We agreed that a hearty full English breakfast was absolutely mandatory, even if it meant having to Read more…

Saturday morning saw myself, Bob and Chinny meet up again with Bonzo and Ray at Fromes Hill Cafe for our usual start to a day out on the bikes, a nice big fry up! Unfortunately I had leave after breakfast to go to my niece Taylor’s 4th birthday party so Read more…

Just a few photos from this years BMF Tailend show in Peterborough.

Due to other commitments only myself and Bob could get out today and even then I had to be home early, so we decided upon a little run into the Peak District for breakfast. We took our usual route through Lichfield and down the A515 until we stopped for petrol Read more…

We started today’s little jaunt with breakfast outside in the glorious sunshine at the lovely canal side Cafe near Sutton Cheney known as Sutton Wharf. Here you can sit and watch the narrow boats pass by while munching on a bacon batch or in Bob’s case a nice big fry up! Read more…

The Red Marley Hill Climb is classic motorcycle hill climb that takes place near Great Witley in Worcestershire. This was the 1st time I had been to this event and from what I had heard about it I was really looking forward it. Due to everyone else having other commitments Read more…

We started the day meeting up with Ray and Bonzo at Fromes Hill Cafe for our usual get together and fry up. This was also the first time we had seen Bonzo’s new blackbird (The fastest Honda Blackbird colour – silver) so we spent the next 10 minutes looking over his bike Read more…
