Paignton Bike Festival

oh

So....was it good then? Wheres the pics!

Sorry to disappoint but wasn't that good really. More interesting bikes in the public parking.

I have to agree - and even the bikes in the public parking didn't include much to get excited about. A tidy Fizzy and a ratty RG500 were all that caught my eye. Still, it was a cheap way to while away a couple of hours mooching round the various stalls.

Ah, so that would explain why I heard so many bikes on the A380 last weekend

note to self - must get out more ........

Went for a quick blast Sat 5th may aiming for Exmouth then Sidmouth-Starcross-Dawlish-Teignmouth and finally back to Bmad bike fest on Paignton seafront. But as I joined the A38 from Telegraph Hill I ended up on the tail of about 50 bikes going towards Exeter, so as you do I followed them. They stopped in Exeter and I had a chat with a couple of them [Aquila Motorcycle Club] they were going to the Paignton fest and they invited me to join them.
Well it was one of the best short rides I,ve had for years, they controlled the traffic perfectly, we rode down all the way from Exeter to Paignton sea front without stopping, Bmad even Taped a section for them to arrive at, It was brilliant, the worst thing was my batteries went flat on my bike cam .
Anyway I,m wondering if there is anyone who knows how to contact them so I can thank them.....cheers

Think one of their lad's either owns or works in a tattoo parlour in Plymouth called Living art, it's down the bottom end of the city centre just up from the market entrance on Cornwall Street, may be worth a shout. Then again I haven't lived in the muff for over a year so could be a bit out of touch!

Won't be at Bridge but if you come on the Run To The Bun in july then I'll be there , from St. Austell onwards. Depending how busy I am with work etc. my Gixxer may be old scruffy Silver, or it might be new 'Glossy Black' ;) ;) ;)
