HOTROD HAYRIDE

 See that Triumph in the background?  Thats my bike that is. 
Do you know where it is?  Its 160 miles from my house at the Hayride.
Did i get it there and back in a truck? No i rode it there and it'll take my ass a week to recover.
"Pussey" i hear you cry "Its only 160miles" Yep but it is a hard horse saddle on a couple of valve springs.
 Any way the Hayride was an amazing party. the setting was beautiful. It's held in the grounds of a riffle club that dates back to the Victorian era with beautiful colonial style buildings.
Most of the time you stand around having a yarn, looking at cool rods and bikes, drinking beer and meeting new people.
 The standard of the cars there is unbelievable.
 There is a huge aray of bikes of all styles and tastes.
 There was an incredably dangerous hill climb through the woods.
 Lots of people that had overdone the partying.
 Soapbox races. That is a wood engine complete with wooden fanbelts and supercharger.
And you could even get a roast meal for £5.


ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE BEST GATHERINGS THAT I'VE EVER BEEN TO.

Was a top weekend mate! 240 miles each way on a hardtail, about 6 stone heavier- yeh, I feel your pain!
