but my bike wasn't old enough, so just had a walk round with my camera, although I did see a couple of old friends in the beer tent, well I had too.
anyway here is a slideshow for your pleasure...

I definitely think the earlier ones with the slimmer tanks and reverse cone pipes were better looking Malc, even the fastbacks, yours looks a bit chunky.... still a nice bike though and a nice colour. I think all the complication in with the hydrolastic set up didn't help their case either they were probably fine when new but shook all over the place once things started to wear.

Great pics Kev some smashing stuff there - at least you got good weather there was a steam engine thing on here today too but it's been torrental rain.
