Lovely, lovely, lovely!
Good to see, thanks. I have a mate in Reading, now late 70s, who is never short of an excuse to bimble along to the Pathfinder Cafe.
I leant to ride at Blackbushe as a 10 year old, when there were large aprons & taxiways across on the south side of the A30 that had fallen into disuse. Father also took me to Lasham, near Alton occasionally too, both teaching me to ride & drive later on, once I could reach the pedals.

Every Wednesday, bikes gather from about 11:30.
For a weekly event, the turnout is very impressive.
Thanks for the pics Paul, I just love that KZ1000- gorgeous bike.
Thanks Paul
I may have to pop along….good excuse for a ride, and view nice bikes.
Is this what was the Bagshot Wednesday meet at the fish and chip shop that I saw is no longer there?
Some nice tackle there ToPG; talking of tackle; i had a 2-4 seat like that Z1000 on my Z1B; and squeezed me and the Mrs on; miracle i manged to produce kids;
That 750 H2 looks pretty handy also.
Yes, when jacks chippy closed
they found a new home at Blackbushe. Given the numbers that now attend, I am not sure they'd still fit onto jack's car park.
Isn't it? And all standard except for the (as Snelly identified) period correct 2:4 seat, then a V&H pipe and the flatslide carbs. Looks like it might get a move on.
It has a quite significantly extended swing arm. Presumably it helps the front wheel to retain some kind of relationship with the tarmac.
I’ve seen a Fufu. 
Me too. I think if you were to stand the worlds best ever looking bikes next to each other in a row, this and the original Ducati 916 would be there.
For me it's another Ducati. 750SS bevel, or even a first year 900SS. And the XR750 Harley
This attracted me enough to persuade my old crewmate to come and have a look this week coming.
