The new raw steel baffle on my Harris Works Collection 4 into 1 now looks a nice titanium blue after 40 so miles :lol:

I've been beaten to all the best pics..

The bike park was not as full as previous years.
The soggy ground claimed a couple of victims, one attractive young lady learned not to lean on damp grass!
Take your pucks - a ZX9R sank it's side stand and clobbered the bike next to it.... Ouch!

Image

The trade stands were pretty poor in my view, would have been better mixed in with bike clubs.

Image

A nice honest example - I'm not so keen on the angular looks - but I love the motor.

Image

Had a GT380 back in the day, never got a chance to get the 750.
With the prices going the way they are - guess I never will.
Still a gorgeous looking bike, Red with satin black side panels - love it.

Image

I'm not keen on the streetfighter look but this example was very well screwed together - even though it was a hideous sparkly blue!

Fixed it......

Image

Well worth a visit - £5 entry - proceeds go to the Air Ambulance - a worthy cause.

Jay, Phill and myself spoke to a couple of the organisers at the Ton Up day Jacks Hill Cafe, they seemed interested in having an area for us to display our bikes, sadly they never got back to us.

The Harris looks pretty but is way to loooooong.

Short wheel base is where the fun is :twisted:

Looking at that Harris it's confirmed that I will be having my frame that colour :D
What's the go with the Norton, I take it that's the new one? Are they that tall and squashed or is it the picture?
