Southampton MAG Bike Show |
20th April 2008 |
Sunday 20th April, I set off for the Cricketers Pub in Eastleigh, Southampton for the MAG get together. |
It was a nice ride -only 15 miles or so. Great weather and a blue sky all the way there. I got to the entrance of the Cricketers after weaving my way through the adjacent road works, (I came the scenic route, not the motorway). The first person I was greeted by was Rose, (Nannyogg, as she is known here). I found a parking space and had a wander round the different stalls. Burgers were in full swing, always a good tasty burger to be had. Bikes kept coming and going throughout the day. Just as it started to empty more would pull in and take their places. I went back to the bike to get more batteries for the camera & was greeted by Doc and Zipwanger. They'd travelled up from Somerset, having set out at 8.00am ish. There's always something new to see in the entrance of the event. This time a Ford model T was standing easy. A nice Hot Rod. As I idly watched people arriving, an elderly couple, I guess they were in their seventies, stopped on a large dressed solo Honda. The lady pillion got off and the rider engaged reverse gear and effortlessly backed into a parking space -how easy was that. -Rick, (Chevy Rick). |
