The rider will be with me tomorrow morning - so pop out for a chat and give him a UKGSER welcome

 

[vespatrev]

Well we got a gorgeous autumn day for the exacting (10 min) ride to the Ace.

It was the 'Hornets Swarm' day at the ace - but clearly not warm enough for them to manage more than a small crowd let alone a swarm

Meanwhile every other type of bike was herded down to the far end of the parking area

Brian got introduced all round and got stuck in to an Ace 'British Breakfast'

And then got stuck into chatting about his adventures with a willing audience

and later got more acquainted with the history of the Ace
