I have bunged this in the 'General' section, as it's not really a 'Ride Day' or a 'Track Day' as such.......

but anyway, if, like me, you have more than a passing interest in racing *older* motorcycles, then this is the meeting for you.

Should be a great 3 days of racing, for all the *old fogeys* out there, who remember what its like to wrestle 140hp on skinny tyres with *bicycle* frames :lol: :lol: ( hang on.......that was yesterday :shock: )

Sheit I was gonna do the confusion rally that weekend. wet tshirt comps, beer, bikes, can't ask for much more, this is damned tempting though. Want to see some of the old Vincent's strut their stuff as well as the Norton rotary's.

Torn between two pissups, feeling like a tool, drinking at both of you would be grouse and would rule!

Apologies to whoever sang the shit version of the song.

It would be *great* to be out there :twisted: , will have to be satisfied with watching......

I can access 1 thumbnail only, from PI 1/05 meeting, there is nothing under the Broadford heading ?

Not to worry, the other photos are great......nothing like the big old bangers racing......

:D

I'm still undecided between this and confusion rally, probably the latter though I reckon.
