Due to the weather conditions and "Slidieness" of the roads, we decided to go by car. So Jamie, Neal, me and our young female companion Emily all
met up to be chauffeur driven by Mike in his 4x4. (Ideal for "Slidieness" roads) Cold winds and scattered showers didn't stop us from looking at the stalls outside, then indoors to warm up. The usual stands from owners clubs/MC clubs displaying many restored machines from a bygone era. We were all reminiscing about our first machines from Bantam's, FS1E's, Gerelli’s (with pedals), Suzuki X5’s and every bike we owned thereafter.I sat on one of the Blood Bikes and couldn't get on with the riding position. Like all women Emily was there to shop and had four fashion experts (Jamie, Neal, Mike and myself) all giving
advice on jackets and boots. After trying on every style/colour (Does My Bum Look Big in This?) purchases were made. Mike was a little sad when he had to hand back Emily her hand bag, he was getting attached to it after carrying it about for 2 hours. (It did suit him, matched his eyes)
All in all we had a good day out and on the way home we had all weather conditions, rain, sleet, snow, and sunshine then hailstones.
As Emily would say - "Too much Slidieness on the
road" (You had to have been there.)
