Failed, I'm afraid. Rebecca went off to mDarjeeling with my camera, so I borrowoed youngest son's camera. He charged for me, but forgot to put the memory card in. Coz he's lost it.

Anyway..it was bigger than 2007, much, much bigger than 2006, etc. There were sports bikers, far too many HD riders (is it me, or do those things just look soo out of place at a Brit bike meet, especially in their thousands-some nice old ones, tho, going back to the 1940's), hippies, outlaws, road trash, new age hippies on trikes, Mods, scooterists, Rockers, Greasers, Teds, Norvins, Tritons, Tribsas, Triumphs, Ariels, some bloke riding a bike with a Chevrolet engine in it, old Japs, new Japs, middle age Japs, outfits, so much stuff. About 70,000 bikes in all, many very special.

These are all the pics I could get

The peeps I rode down with, whom I lost in Brighton and never saw again:

Sorry about the poor quality and the very few pics...

[DavidLSI]

That look like quite the event....bikes and riders as far as the eye can see.

Thanks for sharing the photos

[Orson]

What is that bright orb in the sky?

What is that bright orb in the sky?  

Smoke from a 1950's Lambretta.  

Next up is the Brightona at the same location. Bit of a Harley fest but should be so nice Brit and Italian stuff as well...

12th October. A measly fiver to get in.

Wanted to make a 'what is that brightness' comment, but Orson beat me to it.  

What an array! You're a lucky bastidge, good on ya. All I have is an Ace decal on the Givi trunk.

[Baron Samedi]

Brightona. I only stayed for two hours...the sound of thousands of Harleys on open pipes begins to grate after a while.





C'mon Ant, get yours sorted  

Did I mention Harleys?


And a quite a few old (mainly american) cars. Some heavily modded, some not.




My parents had one of these...slow old thing it was

Yes, that is a 50's Morris Minor..




More later.

[Baron Samedi]

There were bikes parked up from the pier to Black Rock, in rows five deep. That's about three miles...quite a few then.
More cars



More bikes

Now, this was the most interesting bike I found...a Royal Enfield..but is it a diesel? I vaguely recall that they made one briefly.


sacrilege


Competing for best rat trike. Should win.





 

HD should have put Triumph Scrambler pipes on the XR12000 in the first place






Best rat



Both had overheated in the heavy traffic getting there...the trike dumped its coolant and then went into reverse-over a shiny Suzuki. Little harm done

dull video

Brighton Pier. Well, one of two. The other is a wreck.

The finest bike there




Russian...but what is it?

[Baron Samedi]

Surely too wide for British roads?



The dogz bollocks?





lovely riding style  








Engineless bikes















That's it.

[Busy Little Whiner]

What... no RC30s or RC45s showed up???
