Moto Guzzi Lodola We are once again grateful to Matt for sending in a report on one of the events he recently attended: reading his report and looking at the pictures posted in gallery two makes me wish i had got my act together and joined them for the day.
A couple of people have asked about the Rugby Bike Fest that was on the rides list I produced a few months ago so see attached pictures.
The Event was I believe the 3rd year that Rugby has turned over the whole of the town centre to promote all aspects of Motorbikes and Motorcycling, the event was FREE and there was plenty to keep everyone interested from trade stands to individual and club displays. If there was a critisim to be
levelled it was at the somewhat haphazard diversion signs which resulted in various mixed messages of where we were supposed to park up. Unfortunately this resulted in lots of "unofficial" separate bike shows wherever there was
a bit of vacant pavement.
Those that attended had a great 38 mile wander to the event, Rod can certainly vouch for the event catering as the minute we arrived he started sniffing out the large Cheese burgers and unlike the normal event rip off prices he was astounded to discover they were only £2.20...........a real bargain, others of course had an even better deal tea / coffee iced cake and
biscuits totally free at the Church however it was only later when the vicar stated that in ten minutes the Christening of the twins will begin and we realised that we had gate crashed a private function......but we were made
ever so welcome!
Matt.
