[Ash]

PS, and so many GS's
i listened to all the quest speakers
Lois Pryce
Austin Vince
Grant Johnson

Sorry guys, it's not a XT500 but a DT125 or 175 MX. Still a classic though .

This is an XT 500. Looks similar but the tailpipes on the wrong side.

23 years ago, my first biking holiday in Spain, loved the monocylinder at the time.

DT's at the Ace

I'm pretty sure it was a 175 at the Ace yesterday. Mine was a 125 - rescued it from a scrapheap in 1987, stripped and rebuilt it with my mate Pete and finally parted with it in 2002 for fifty quid to a bloke called 'Wink' who said he was going to rebuild it again. I wonder....

Digging this picture out again is bringing a tear to my eye



Had a great day at the Ace - took my two sons, 11 & 5, who started talking about touring with me when they're old enough.....result!

probably. either that or they just want to be as rich and famous as Austin Vince told them he is.....

Erika and I were there as well, met up with Blues and Twos as well as Easy Sushi for the ride up there. Arrived quite early so managed to park up in a good spot. Gazzabart and Ruth showed up and was good to catch up with them as not seen them for a while. Indecisive then arrived (bikeless) (again...) Saw Ash, Bowser, LO IQ, Thor, Terry and a few other's from this parish and then took a ride down to Newlands in the afternoon. All in all a great day and didn't see any pikeys cooking their own food in the car park...

A few pics from the day

All in all a great day out and the busiest I've seen the Ace for a long time.

Ace

Great pic's!

The CCM's panniers caught my attention when I was there, two old water carriers and a couple of latches..........................Genius!

I think we all need to try to meet each other next time any sort of 'do' comes along, as these pictures where taken while I was definately there!

Great day out.

Until the next great day

Chod

 

[Gazzabart]

Great Pics Erica

Now that was a good day
was really good to see Ty Chris Erica & Jon and Carl again
Austin Vince was great to chat to
i urge you all to try and watch Austins DVD called Terra Circa
we bought it and went home later and watched it
FANTASTIC film
soooooooooo much better than LWR & LWD

 

[chrisjk]

Yep, it's ACF 50 - where had I sprayed it this time? (I am sure I missed the brakes)

 

[immigrant]

Great pic's!

The pretty blonde caught my attention when I was there

Agreed

 

[Urban Rider]

Pretty much everywhere........

We were looking at it cause it looked like it was dripping all over the brake disks and tyres...... Glad it didn't affect your journey home..

 

[digga]

There was a bunch of us from Leicester there

I recognised 1 of the GS's from here( reckon it was SADO's.... shorty pipe from a Kwak??)
Saw some of the peeps's in the above pics...but because i ain't bin a Tosser that long and have'nt been to any Do's i did'nt know any names/monikers.

as for the nicest bike there? The 525exc with the extra fuel tanks ..real neat..
