Weston Super Mare Bike Nights should be on again this Thursday the 31st of July.

It would be great to see a few bikes down to show support to Weston Super Mare with the sad news today of Weston Super Mare loosing its Grand Pavillion at the end of its Famous Pier.

2, won't it be abit difficult parking where u show on the pic what with all the police/fire brigade/buuilding vehicles ? :wink:

Considering the weather just over 200 bikes turned up.

At 16:30 I have to say when I heard and then saw the rain storm outside I was expecting it to be a quiet one and early stack. By the time I got to the Front at 17:30 it was all dry and from 18:00 till just after 19:00 we had a steady stream of bikes. A little later the heavens opened. Glad to say a 600ss, 996 and a 999 turned up dispelling the myth about rain and Ducati's.

Bike of the night was a very good example of a CXB1000- all 6 cylinders glistening in the wet. But it was in good company with a very nice Z1000, and I had to take a second glance when I realised it must have been a CBX outing as there were 3 in a row parked up elsewhere.

Photos are being sorted and hope to maybe have up maybe tonight or by the end of weekend.
