Nice little run over to this village in the middle of England. Beautiful weather for a change, lots of bikes, lots of fun, here's a taste:
Ariel Leader from about '61 I think
British built Hesketh, built by hand to order, shame about the styling I think, I mean it could be more distinctive..
Hogs on grass in the middle of England?!
Anyone know about these?
Craig Jones doing his stuff.. 19 foot U turn! Not bad.
Mrs H with her yamy
What a looker.. and the bike too

Thanks for the pictures, Steve.
Seen a few on road on my travels, but haven't tried a Spyder yet.

That's a Can-Am Spyder.
Expensive.
Great pics Steve!

Steve,
Those are excellent pictures of fantastic bikes. And the Missus looks great with her ride.
Thanks for the look......

I think he's spotted an Albatross.
Pity I found out too late, had to sort out Mother's Freeview aerial before disappearing to the National rally next weekend. BTW Brit's, Timmy's got a K11OG sticker on his bike now, look forward to meeting you there. Hope I'm not "the only K in the village".
