    Anybody fancy a group ride down? Take in Warwick and Stratford too maybe?

    From the website:

    If you are a biker, scooter rider or somebody thinking about taking to two wheels then the Heart of England Bike Show is for you.

    4,000 people came to the 2009 show and gave us fantastic feedback. The 2010 show is shaping up to be bigger and better with even more features and exhibitors, including more big name brands. Hope to see you there for:

    Spectacular stunt shows in the Sorrymate.com Stunt Arena.
    Improve your own riding skills on Bikesafe guided ride outs.
    Retail area for clothing, helmets, accessories and protective clothing.
    Demonstration rides on top 2010 bikes and a try before you buy scooter zone.
    Train to gain – access to a range of free or subsidised training courses.
    Slow riding demonstrations.
    Programme of talks in the Highways Agency Information Workshop Tent.
    Helmet park, food and refreshment.

    Doesn’t look like it now Kat, it is a decent event though.

    Well Katana persuaded me to go after all…here are a few pics from the day

    P5096302.jpg
    The Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon…impressive venue for a free show

    P5096304.jpg
    Suzuki Bandit…caught my eye, well turned out bike

    P5096305.jpg
    Triumph’s old and new

    P5096309.jpg
    Some good stunt action on the R1 in a relatively tight arena

    P5096311.jpg
    He should really sit down…

    P5096315.jpg
    There is an R1 in there somewhere…

    P5096316.jpg
    Told you! He is sponsor by Pirrelli…

    P5096317.jpg
    Rare prototype Triumph

    P5096318.jpg
    An Omega…needs a little light restoration to return to concours…

    P5096319.jpg
    The plod were about too

    P5096323.jpg
    The Honda VFR1200…I was merrily slagging this bike off…’how ugly is that exhaust??’ ‘That fairing is DULL!’ when the bloke stood next to me got on the thing…opps!

    P5096326.jpg
    Honda’s surprisingly effective big cool blue factory custom…it will never be as cool a 1981 Kawasaki LTD550!!

    P5096333.jpg
    I have a strange hankering to own one of these

    P5096336.jpg
    The best looking Ducati since the seminal 916? I want one so badly it almost hurts!

    P5096339.jpg
    A little garish for my taste…but the quality of work was stunning

    P5096346.jpg
    Katana’s Zephyr 1100 riding friend took a new Yamaha Diversion 600 out for a spin and came back impressed. The Police riders joined the demo riders. That was a slightly odd feeling I bet

    P5096352.jpg
    Free entry to the car museum was also available. Very interesting stuff if you are into 4 wheels too. Loads of protypes, last of the line models, protoypes, record breakers, concept cars, TV cars and competion vehicles.Well worth a look

    P5096356.jpg
    James Bond Aston

    P5096365.jpg
    I am not in too much of a hurry to have a go in this combo…but a fitting way to take one last ride

    P5096373.jpg
    There were trial bikes stunting in the arena too

    P5096374.jpg
    Impressive control

    P5096377.jpg
    Katana’s Blade and his friends ZR1100

    Thanks to Katana for dragging me out. Good to meet Hugh and Ash too. Great free show!
