Britbike forum Forums General discussion The Rod and Tappet Today's Run

Due to a terrible day Yesterday in the Hell Hole, which started at 02.00 and ended at 21.00. I NEEDED this ride, like REALLY needed it man. I'd planned on taking Albert but just couldn't bring meself to get him out of his resting place, and as the Commuter was sitting there all ready, I rolled it out put me thumb on the kickstart button and off to the meeting point....

Aylesford park was the place and in that park there's a cafe, minced up to the counter and said, a full English please with a tea. Paid the money and sat down, no questions needed, and the price on the menu was what I paid, no local tax or tips. THAT'S how it goes lads....


Outside the group were gathering....





And chatting....





And seeing as I was on the commuter, which I've equipped with heated grips, I was able to to *Action* shots in the cool late October air, so here we go....























Today's destination is only around 20 miles from me, so it wasn't long before we got there....






This tiny Kentish village gets over run at this time of year, every year, by an unorganised Olde Vehicle meet up, and it's getting more and more popular, so let me try to take all y'all on a tour....











How's THIS for a rear chain....

Sure would love a ride on one of these....

One day I'll get me one of these, I do LOVE a 2CV....




Then to lighten the day, we got to see for ourselves what BLINDLY following a GPs can get you.....




Just so pleased I worked with Italians who taught me a few words, think the words I shouted to him might have helped.....

Shaun, thanks for all those pics and the ride report. I've been riding quite a bit lately, both the old and the new bikes, but just to meet up with a friend, or to see a sight or travel to a lecture or a meeting, and I just haven't been taking the time to stop and take pictures.

Glad you're holding your end up!

Nothing to do with tua Mama I suppose or va ...........!

vaffanculo

raf940 lad, well THAT'S nice isn't it....

And EXACTLY what I shouted at him....Well one of the words anyway....

If he was a Danish driver I'd shout a few more, having worked in Copenhagen for a few years....
