Mac, Squirrel, And Stretchie Do The Bike Show

[squirrel_hunter]

Here's a couple of little pictures from this years show:


The ZXR250 I test rode


Mac and Stretchie doing their best Wallace and Gromit


A nice old Harley


A Norton on the bench (they offer a discount for self Assembly)


Stretchie doing and impression of a side car


A photo of Mac taking a photo of me taking a photo of him. Almost as confusing as arranging to meet back at the Abba Stand Stand.


An old Honda modified to off road by adding a tyre so wide it just cleared the front forks


Mac at the rodeo


And one for the Mods

We also got to have a go on the ACU Trials Demonstration:


Stretchie tucking himself into the helmet before venturing out


Mac being debriefed after his ride


Stretchie trying his best come hither look


Me attempting Trials riding


Stretchie's ar$e (he doesn't know this photo was taken)


And in the interest of fairness, my ar$e. Vote for your favorite.

There are some more pictures of bikes and such like over here if you really want. Same again next year...

How did you get on the trials thingy ? We tried at 10.45 and it was fully booked up for the whole day

We got there before then

When we booked in I think there was only one other person on the list. Had to book early though. Missed out on the off roading as that was fully booked by the time we got round there. What didn't help was the road test booking system, they managed to take and incredibly simple task of putting your name on a list next to a bike against a time slot so unbelievably difficult.

Here's the Vmax I took out, I really liked it, a touch heavy on the steering but fine once you realise




Squirrell practicing for his first big bike



Mac (Ben or also known to us as Old Spice) "Look, no hands, or arms"


The happy couple, I heard Ben say to Squirrell, "Yep, the further they are buried in to my back the better" but I'm not sure what he meant, any ideas?



Lunchtime. Bap (Another ben or also known to us as Young Spice) could not come and play out with us as he had to go christmas shopping to Cardiff with his owner (girlfriend) so we sent him texts and pictures alllll day to make him feel included/show him what he's missing* *delete as applicable



Squirrell ready for the Gas Gas (confused me as he's always had Gas as far as I have known him)




Mac (Old Spice) getting ready for the Gas Gas



We can forgive this for having one wheel too many



Squirrell 'givin it some large'. there was one of me on the back and us both hanging off but Mac has problems taking pictures using his phone.... He's a moron



This is basically what you missed having a go on the gas gas. After this he puts out a line of 5 or 6 cones for you to slalom and turn around and repeat several times. Was good fun but achey breaky legs afterwards. I had to go and have a footlong to recover
