Hundreds of bikes there! Over the years I've gone and had a look a few times as they have accessory and clothing stalls there, and a live band in the evening. And I truly have to say that I have nothing whatsoever in common with the people there......zilch! It's like a dress up parade of people and bikes....not my thing. Now if you're talking race meeting clientele (particularly road racing), then that's a very different demographic and more my type of thing! Because it's all about the sport! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to lots of similar events but just run by local clubs, i go for the music and the atmosphere i grew out of the uniform (dress like a pirate) many years ago but the new thing is they all seem to be going down the fancy dress route now where men in their 60s turn up in dresses and shit not my thing at all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that seems to be the norm in most events now, although the triumph owners one i went to a few weeks ago was ok probably because they were so old they had trouble putting their socks on let alone a corset 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone feels the need to dress up as an extra in Al Pacino's "Cruising" movie and hang round in a muddy field with others of the same persuasion then that's their business. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the HDRCGB, I’ve been a member for years, they actually ride their bikes and I have friends from around the U.K. that I have made through the club, they are good for finding parts, the club has a specialist tool collection that members can borrow as required and they are a great knowledge resource. The rallies are great fun as well. I’ve never not enjoyed a rally with this crowd. But like it has been said, it’s a biker thing, you wouldn’t get it, you are ginger. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
