2 or 3 bikes hard to ride with just the 1 arse. Also Newark showground not the sort of place you want to be stuck at for 48 hours without a way of escaping

My guess is that many people wouldn't be that enthusiatic about bead-blasting their favourite bike with wet road salt and then sitting back for two days watching all the alloy turn to white powder

Nice to meet a few of you today. I even came away with a couple of ideas to try on mine once I’ve got the bloomin carbs back in so thanks for that.

Was good to meet everyone to have a chat and see the bikes in the flesh. They really are a credit to you, it's only when you get chance to walk round them you can properly appreciate what's gone into them. 

[Sam-Jaffa]

top weekend guys!!

was great to see old faces and new

[imago]

Just an FYI. I felt like crap last night and was wiped out today, had to do a covid test because of where we're working and Mrs Imago works in a school. The test was positive, so I could have picked it up at Newark, since Newark or I guess a day or two before. 

[davecara]

Glad it went well. I stayed at home and drank beer and swore at people, so not much different to usual 

@imagoGet yerself well soon mate

Currently feeling like 16 stone of hammered crap.  Just thought I'd better mention it on here in case someone has people they need to shield/be careful around.
