No bloody PC at home so had to wait for BT to reconnect our office. Very enjoyable ride yesterday on the Liverpool ride , about 100 bikes classics very thin my A10 , 4 enfields (to oldies ) a Sterling ( a flat tank lookalike ) which ran well some nice Ducatis and a good turn out of Harleys etc .
Ride was f**ked up by Liverpool city council who ran a city pushbike /race event and closed roads without much notice .Infact the carpark on the Albert dock who had kindly arranged free space for us as per last year ,weren't even inform that the roads were closing ,as we couldn't get there at all a comprimise was found by the old Higsons Brewery .The route involved going through the heavyest traffic I've ridden for a long time however drivers were helpful pulling over and even blocking junctions to allow us to cross as a group ,no accidents but the bikes did get lost .Clutch took a pasting and boy the oil tank was so so hot . Not sure of the figure raised yet but I've got about £200 to come in plus any more I can wring from people/companies! Pictures later.
As an aside I decided ,on the way back home to go past where my bike originated from in Liverpool my old employers Victor Horsman ltd , paid my respects to St lukes , the "bombed out" church which was left as a reminder of the May Blitz , down Renshaw st ,had to turn up a side road, it was a shambles the whole road boarded up, looks ready to be knocked down , so disheartening
