Here's a couple more for you

May 17th & 18 BMF East of England show. I'll be there with a couple for my bikes on the DSC stand.

July 12th & 13th Mallory Park Festival of 1000 bikes. A fantastic couple of days of bikes, bikes, and more bikes. There's loads of clubs turn up, like the Laverda club, Vincent club, Honda CBX club etc. Plenty of old stuff to look at as well as some new bikes too. As well as getting time to spend walking round looking at the bikes in the paddocks, there is always one club or another out on circuit. Last year I loved watching the Vincent club hammering there bikes round the track. Zimbo and I are planning on going up, possibly on the Saturday.

[Grumpy]

Benson, Gremlin and myself have been chatting about somewhere for the East Anglian 'massive' to meet up on a regular basis.
The most central spot we can think of is a diner( can't remember it's name!!),with ample parking,which is on the Brandon Rd (A1065)just on the right,off of 5 ways roundabout along the A11. This is on the Suffolk/Norfolk border.

I have pasted a link to the area.
