View Full Version : Come on over if you think you're...
well???
If you're thinking of invading and taking over empirial rule of our fair county, then best to do a recce under the guise of a friendly visit.
It's our local bike show this sunday at Copford, held near to Ipswich. A few of us are going so we've decided to graciously extend an invitation to the Guildford specials.
I suggest we meet up somewhere along the A12 (terrible road but good for meet points) at a time of your chosing during the morning. We can take you from there!
Are you brave enough?

El presidente had better not be in Wales, or do you mean NW Guildford, because we haven't got our weekend of cottaging scheduled until the following Friday.

Watch out for the manhole covers as there are a few that can catch your knee/toe slides .

And then to find yourself in Essex!!!
Even though the members up there are well worth the visit, the 4 hours worth of travelling there and back does leave a bitter taste in the tailpipe. :(
But some of us have been known to do it when rides start at Bohill or thingy corner!

Yeah. Thingy Corner is miles from mine. And the bonus is you can be abused in person by your favourite mental woman when you arrive.

2 choices either Boreham interchange at 11 or come to mine a bit earlier for tea and buns. I'm only 3 mins from Boreham but I'll need to send you a map otherwise you could be lost for days finding my cul de sac on the estate.

Bikers from across England and some from Europe will head out on the highway to Ipswich’s Trinity Park this Sunday for the 21st Copdock Motorcycle Show.
Regarded as the largest one-day event of its kind in the region, this year’s anniversary event is set to be the biggest and best yet.
“Last year we had 150 show bikes pre-registered, 450 bikes entered on club stands and more than 50 individual bike clubs stands and 200 trade stands pre-booked, the early signs are we could even top this for the 21st show making it certainly one to remember,” says David Baldry, chairman of the Copdock Classic Motorcycle Club.
The non-profit making organisation, all of who give their time for free, has spent the last 12 month’s planning the show, run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.
Bolddog Lings FMX Display Team, Honda’s official and the UK’s number one motorcycle display team, continues to push the boundaries of FMX and lead the way for all motorcycle display teams. Expect the latest heart-stopping tricks usually only seen on TV.
Joining them will be the Two Brothers Racing Stunt Display Team. Having a pair of stunt riders performing in the tarmac arena is a first for the show.
Mark “Vandal” Vandriel and Ashley Mark, make their first visit to the show and are sure to thrill with their freestyle stunt riding.
Organisers are pleased to welcome back Ken Fox’s Wall of Death. The only one of its kind in the country, riders perform stunts 18ft off the ground on a vertical circular wall.
Austin Vince will be in the Trinity Room talking about his motorcycling travelling adventures.
The Motorcycle World Land Speed Record Streamliner will also be on display.
The saying goes anyone can build a fast motorcycle, they just need enough money to throw at it. To build the world’s fastest motorcycle takes a little more thought. If you only do what everybody else has done, you will only get what they got.
The world land speed record for motorcycles, currently held by the US, is 376.363 mph, set in 2010. The Angelic Bulldog Team are well into the process of building a machine capable of 400mph, with the aim of claiming the record for Britain.
Other attractions include a Motoball display, race Teams, CAM Rider motorcycle training, Pre-65 scramblers and displays from local race teams past and present.
There will also be hundreds of trade stands, more than 40 motorcycle club stands, a large auto jumble, live music, food, real ale from the award-winning Dove Street Inn and much more.
More than 150 motorcycles from 50 manufactures will be on show in the new Trinity Exhibition Hall on the day. Their ages range from 1915 to the present day. Even the bike park itself proves to be an attraction with thousands of bikes on display.
Proceeds from the grand draw, the prize a 1981 Triumph T140 Bonneville worth more than £4,500, will go to the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
The continuing success of the show has enabled the club to donate more than £200,000 to charities and good causes to date.
And cages will also be attendance.
The boot of the volvo is available for storage if need arises.

Ta muchly, if I make it will be there before 11 so if I'm not there don't wait for me.
Is anyone from Guidlford turning up?
It's just that I don't want to go 25 miles in the opposite direction if no-one's going to be there.
LPH - I can meet you nearer Colchester if you like
