This coming Sunday, 12th June, it’s monthly meet time a the Lockgate, Beeston.

Bumped a week as some of us were catching castles in Wales, I should have dried out by Sunday.

See you there folks, Lockgate opens at nine, hope to see you there .

Well, the re arranged monthly meet turned out to suit quite a few of us, for the third weekend in a row I was throwing my leg over one of Ducati’s finest and heading off to meet friends again.

Blackadder was wheeled to the roadside and mr Remus pointed away from the local residents, it was early and I didn’t want to assume the role of alarm clock!

A pleasant run to the Lockgate in the early morning sun followed, Adie and Barb were already in residence with Colin for company,great to see Col out and about again after his recent health scare.

I pulled into the car park seconds after Pete, today giving his 1969 bonnie a breath of fresh air. A lovely example,Pete restored it and had the clocks zeroed at the time, now reading 12,000 miles since the rebuild, around 30,000 on the clock before hand.

So now we have two monsters and two triumphs as Andy rolled into the car park, Pezz followed with his former bike of the year then surprise surprise Rob rolls up with his triumph street cup…….what’s going on!

Great to see everyone regardless of ride, it seems triumph seems to be the go to after a Ducati….are you reading Blockhead

not sure if Pezz is inspecting his hand or giving a thumbs up to Robs ride in the pic.

Finally a pic of two ethanol effected plastic tanks…..we are
