We went this afternoon ... same as usual down there, but worth going. Wall of Death was superb (again!) :D

Was a bit surprised at the £4 a bike charge ... wasn't it £1 each person last year?
Oh well it goes to BMAD anyway. Image

Same same as usual. Good for a few hours

Make sure you throw some coppers at our own T&C125, who is riding from Lands End to John O'Groats on a 125 next week. They have a stand next to Motorcycle Mayhem (It's right down on the end). Any donation over £1 and you're allowed to punch him in the face 8) Dont get to close else he'll thumb you.

I spent the weekend there,, it was £3:00 last year to park bike on the front, so £1 inflation, bloody good do really, weather was superb, which makes it,, sunday was packed out with alot of joe public about..its all about soaking up the atmosphere, the only thing I wish they would do is a helmet, jacket.. general luggage store like they do at the bmf, cos its a pain carrying it and too many other normal people about to leave it lying around... But still a good do..

Went down on Saturday spent about 4 hours there enjoyed it loads. I agree the £4 was a bit steep but as it goes to BMAD cant really complain.
Did anyone else see the fantasic little Yamaha TY50 ? Spoke to the guy who owned it he had rode it all the way from
Bath!!!! :shock:

We [10 of us] went down yesterday and handed over a tenner - when she said another £30 would be good we kicked off big time :evil: so she let us in for £1 each :D

Don't know what "BMAD's" about but if money goes to awards for best bke etc - visitors should vote by putting £1 in a money box by each bike...? but as normal, I probably got it all wrong :roll:

As always - a good day out 8)

BMAD (Bikers Make A Difference) is all about charity ....thats what your "saving" deprived .... have a look here http://www.bmad.co.uk/index.php

Didn't go this year, but would agree £4 is the upper limit I would pay for the event though ..... :?
