Moto Guzzi Day - 8 July - British Motor Museum Coventry

[Oldrat]

Sorry we didn't see you Barak. What were you riding?

Old Rat did indeed leave his 'yellow shitter' at home, and came on his silver shitter instead - pics below.

Baldrick probably solved a mechanical issue on a 1400 Cali that was defeating MSC Nottingham's workshop, and I fell in love with an Ambassador.
It did indeed rain a bit, but nothing like the very gloomy forecast which, unfortunately, probably kept a few away.

You are not the only one to fall in love with that Ambassador Paul, it was a beaut.

Great to see you and Balders again. Now I’m looking for the ultimate adventure accessory… the umbrella holder. Nice one Paul

Sorry Barak, I missed meeting you too.

Washing day today, and all the road grime now gone, and the cafe racer is back to being shiney again.

I was riding the V85 that was parked in front of the marquee - just about see it & me in one of your Ambassador shots...

Oldrat your cafe racer is stunning... - kudos for taking it out in the poor conditions....

Miffed I didn't make this in the end, had family things happening that conspired against me. Next time.

 

[Guru Gora]

Me also.

Let’s arrange a ukgs v85 ride out

So sorry I missed you.

Thanks, but I did cheat a bit. I bunged the bike in me van and drove up from London to near Bicester way.

I was really looking forward to a ride out but with thunder and lightning warnings, I figured that I could ride the shorter distance there and back between showers.

So a bit of a wuss really but it is a bugger to keep my “shiney shitter” (as Baldrick calls it) clean!
