very charitable of you. did you trip up any blind people whilst you were there, or let down any wheelchair tyres maybe? or just stick to pinching ice creams of a few little kids perhaps. skinflints
had a good wander round on saturday and sunday, and a good piss up saturday night, well worth 4 quid of anyones money

sorry steve was only pulling yer leg, sure you wouldnt have minded coughing up if you'd known. They are there every wednesday through the summer anyway so plenty of opportunity to ease your conscience by chucking some change in the bucket
if its any consolation i put my foot in it by looking at the big black bmw trike in the tent and saying "thats bloody horrible, whats the point in that" before realising it was a drive-in wheelchair acess trike

It's ok, I saw the smiley...
The Beemer trike situation sounds like the sort of thing I do

Went on Saturday, mainly for the ride back across the moors (Ashburton, Princetown, Tavistock, Gunnislake, Callington, Launceston, Camelford & down the A39) - not the most direct way but was the most fun.
A little disappointed with what was on show, it's getting a bit repetitive, but quite happy with the day out & knowing it's going to a genuine cause. Not a Harley fan but did like the quality of the Exile Cycles bike on display - well done with very little bling.
Wall of Death - just so damn traditional, brilliant.
Hey Fester - any chance of getting your photos on here as many of us aren't myspace registered.
