yeah couldnt believe how many 1098's were there, and not many monsters, some pretty cool old cafe racers though. And that wierd arse new bimota tesi 3d , with the swingarm on both the front wheel as well as the back, strange times!
REally liked the fully restored black 900ss, very cool. Was good day for bike porn  [thumbsup]

I only started taking most of these pics after the crowds cleared away enough for me to take full shots of em, which was about the same time the Duke bikes/riders were disappearing. Hmm, I wonder why...  :P

So maybe one of the reasons why there weren't many Monsters there-- they must've been the smart ones making use of the great weather and actually out on the road.

In any case yeah it was a good day, great turnout, but I'm surprised I didn't hear about it on this forum beforehand...

it's just a lack of organisation.  years ago, when it was in lygon street, we organised a moto italiano (pre moto one days) ride from work into the show.  we had a shitload of bikes, and so many moto italiano rego plate surrounds thru the ducatis it wasn't funny.  i got to ride trev's lovely V7 special in - mine was still in bits at that point.  maybe it was late '95.
