A chilly day with a bit of spit in the wind now and then, but a very pleasant ride down to the Grumpy Goat on my Tiger, which is going really well and my favourite bike at the moment.
Lovely to see Roger, the Dave's and Steve already there, sitting round the table marked as reserved for The Plunkers.
I'm sure they meant the Plonkers, but who cares?
Another great meeting despite being a bit down on numbers this time, but folks have other things to do and it wasn't the most pleasant of weather to be fair.
Interesting spread of bikes with Two Monsters, DaveR's 1100 and Dacs' 1000 alongside Steve's Panigale Streetfighter looking awesome.
Roger was on his beloved Harley again, so Ducatis dominated the day for a change.
Looks like we'll be heading for Thorpeness again for June's meet on Sunday 14th.
The clouds looked a little higher, with little bits of blue between them, when it was time to head for home, so I elected to try and get to The Skeyton Goat to catch up with Martyn and Emzedder. Al;as I missed Emzedder who was giving his 750GT what I believe is it's first public showing?
The wind was cold so I didn't stop long but this was my take away..

Thanks Kimbo. I think you photographed the same model car. There was an info board about the body as well, but I didn't photograph that, sorry!
I also took a quick pic of this Beeezah which someone had been practicing the ancient Norfolk craft of exhaust Macramé on.
Thought it might interest somebody?
It started off as an A10R (Rocket) I was taken with the copper mudguard decoration in the shape of a Wallace and Gromit style rocket. riveted on.

The frame is almost identical to the one that the A10 would have arrived with, but this is in fact from a BSA single, you can tell by the little kink just below the bottom of the timing chest.
The singles had that kink to clear a lump on their crankcases, they sat lower in the frame than a twin I think.
It's a reasonably well know trick to put a twin in a single frame as they are a little bit lower and lighter, but it's a squeeze, although the A7 500 goes in with less bother. The A10 is a 650.
Wish I could have stayed to hear it go but it was too cold.

Was down at DynoEcosse getting tyres fitted yesterday and they were working on an OW02…..beautiful bit of kit, unfortunately didn’t have my phone for a photy…..the Evo is now on 35k mls and sailed through the MOT but when I removed the wheels for tyre fitting it was obvious that the front bearings were past their best…..is there no end to the expense of Ducati ownership ?
