The Plaque in the photo is one of hundreds that are at the bases of trees, planted by the family's
of local fallen soldiers from WW1 and WW2. They line the road up the Mountain to the War Memorial.

Poker run was a hoot .. riding beside all these vintage bikes watching the owners gin around with advance and retards and whatever trying to squeeze a few extra mph out of them .. was excellent and i was surprised just how well the vintage bikes went .. and how well they sat on the road considering rigid frames and just about rigid front ends. Was a poker run with a difference that's for sure.

Sounds like a blast mate. Great pics. I've been logging some miles on a few (modern) classics lately and must say I've been loving it. I could live with a twin that's for sure.

Lusting for a Norton MK III (electric start for my f#cked knee) .. join in on the fun then. Speedies days in the shed may be numbered

For me it's a toss up between a Scrambler and a Thruxton, although if a Norton was available I have no doubt I'd want one of them too. Even a humble Bonne would do nicely. The Scrambler I've been riding has the Arrow exhaust and looks and sounds fantastic. Brings a smile to my face like only the Rocket had before. The Thruxton has been a revaluation and a lot more comfortable riding position than I expected. It has pipes too and a real nice feel to it.

Meanwhile, the Rocket's not going well enough to be in love with right now and luckily not well enough to sell either. I'm told I can't afford nor fit a third bike in, but I'll wear her down........

Plenty of room in your garage mate .. got both our Rockets in there so one Rocket and two 'normal' bikes be a shoe in .. better not to bother Amanda with these things mate ..
