Run out in the car.
« on: May 03, 2023, 20:32:40 »
A good friend, from the age of 16 when we started our biking adventures, had a stroke in early January & has been house bound since he got out of hospital at the beginning of March. I promised to take him out for the day as soon as he felt fit enough & today was the day.
He likes the old classics & as I'd heard Hoar Park, Nuneaton, was a decent bikers meet on a Wednesday so we headed there.
After a nice breakfast and a couple of hours looking at the bikes we headed for Huggy's at Mallory Park to do the same. Not another breakfast though, just a coffee & looking at more bikes, although it seems a lot of them were the same ones as at Hoar Park, they move from one to the other. Both places were really busy.
A great day with the sun shining.
One V-Strom 1050 & a KLV spotted.
Some photos.......

An excellent example of the generosity of our Mick.

Good on you for using some of your meagre annual leave for such a kind act.

I should think so to. That cash in the telephone kiosks won't collect itself will it?

Not many left now and I doubt much money (other than for drug deals) goes into them nowadays. Not even our caravan dwelling friends bother to rob them anymore!  :)
