Default Calne bike day

Right, a village in Wiltshire called Calne has a bike day where the town/village (whatever it is) has stalls and stuff and bikes and bikers descend on it and look at other bikes and stuff.

There was then a meeting infront of Bowood House for a band and hotdogs/burgers (Fat kipper BaP eat LOADS)

There were loads of bikes as you can imagine and I took a couple of pics but just of different bikes instead of all the usual Gixxers and CBR's and stuff.

Heres the pics:

Infront of Bowood House







Some bikes

I found a nice Harley, I didn't think such a think existed





A blast from the past



An example of what NOT to do to a bike

A blue bike, blue rim tape, blue screen, blue screen rim, blue bolts holding the blue screen in place, blue bar ends, blue levers, blue brake lines, a wolf on your v piece, blue crash bungs, blue rider pegs, blue pillion pegs, blue tax disk holder, green monster stickers and the finale tastetastic touch...... THE BLUE SNAKE SKIN SEAT






Bike exotica/erotica

Someone had one of them very expensive Ducatis', one of them Ducati DesmondTutus

Very pretty







Now the nice old bikes

Some of the photo's I took yesterday - you've seen some of the more interesting bikes so I'll upload some of the day itself.

This was on a Busa - think it works but not sure if the grab handle is much use...





All the bikes together in front of Bowood House





Stretchie's dinner on Chezza's pillion seat





And he managed it in two bites...proving he was in fact the fat kipper





Squirrel having his dinner...




Finally…we rode something else apart from bikes that day

What you didn't see off camera was the small child that had been waiting ages for a go by virtue of the mechanical bull operating man starting off stretchie's run so slowly he needn't have held on!

I was just being nice and didn't wait that small child waiting very long

Apparantly the grab handle was completely straight before the fella took a pillion out on it



Oh and here was a nice little dog that turned up in a sidecar
