BMAD Paignton Bike Festival 2011 (April 29 - May 1st)

The weather has changed now i think for the better. However you are aware that on the friday it starts at 1pm. Not sure its a full normal festival day on the friday or not.

Guess i better make it a memorable post then

I am going today with fiancee and daughter so will be by car !!!!!

Well if you spot me again you know which is my Yellow SV come say Hello otherwise I hope you have a good day at it. Will text you in a bit Dan but definately going today even if its just me riding there on my tod, thus will meet you there.

Was a good trip out....despite the rain. I took the twisty route there and back, it thoroughly made up for rain. Still think the stunt guy should have done all those tricks on an SV

Just looked, it was me that had your number down wrong you had given me the right one on here previously, So thats easily my bad! Also Huwbee was that you who was talking to me at the lights on the pedestrian crossing either way I'm freaked out a little.

And SV on that was wet grass, he'd have easily been doing the doughnuts ;D Still I think we should've pimped out the donkeys

That was me, sorrry mate in no way wanted to freak anyone out !!!
Cannot believe how the weather deteriorated. Took a few pictures of SV's there though and a lovely R1 anniversary.

The weather was so temperamental. Watching the guy trying to do the stunt riding on the wet grass was entertaining though.....even if he was wearing lycra
Posting up the pics?

I went today, it was overcast and very windy but apart from a tiny shower at lunch time it was dry. Thanks to the wind and large waves my poor bike was covered in salt by the end of the day though. Apart from that I enjoyed it, managed to pick up a pair of armoured kevlar jeans for a good price and met a few people from work.

Did anyone see the pointy in the display ground with the fancy paintwork that looked a bit like marble? The paint looked great, but the rest of the bike was in a terrible state; easily the most corroded fork legs I've seen on an SV.

Yeh, think we saw it. Was it the one with an amusing sticker on the side panel under the seat on the RHS?
