Title: Local bike meet this morning Post by: Manky Monkey on April 22, 2012, 11:53:50 AM Taz & I live a mile or so from Newlands Corner near Guildford in Surrey. It's a local beauty spot that's a favourite with bikers, classic car drivers etc. Always busy on sunny Sunday mornings. I call in once in a while just to see what's about.
This morning there was this gorgeous 750 Triumph Bonny with enormous "dustbin" fairing, clip-on bars & rear-set pegs. Title: Re: Local bike meet this morning Post by: Manky Monkey on April 22, 2012, 11:54:24 AM .

As I'm sat here, there's an almost constant procession of vintage bikes & cars trundling past the front of the cottage. Amazing what a bit of sunshine brings out. Title: Re: Local bike meet this morning Post by: Tony oily bike on April 22, 2012, 01:47:39 PM Ah ha......
Today's the Federation of British Historic Vehicles (FBHM) Drive it Day, the idea that folk with 'Historic' vehicles take them for a drive. Brooklands was one of the local venues that was taking part, which isn't far away, so some may have been going there. http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=10541.0 Here are a few more pics from Newlands Corner. Dslam and I rode up there and I guess we only just missed Manky as some of the bikes he snapped were still there. I managed to borrow a relatively new 61 year old BSA B31, and was 'wing man' to Dslam who piloted an 87 year old Raleigh. Photo showing the bikes we rode with a gathering of folk shooting the breeze................

Title: Re: Local bike meet this morning Post by: Tony oily bike on April 22, 2012, 01:55:04 PM The Dunstall Honda 750/4 leaving.
A rare bike in great condition, think about 1970 (which ties in with when the bikes were available) if the reg plate it to be believed.

Title: Re: Local bike meet this morning Post by: Manky Monkey on April 22, 2012, 08:59:30 PM Lots of other historic vehicles around today. Don't know if they were part of the "Drive It Day" or just out enjoying the sunshine.
Lots of American cars, a couple of big old British tourers & even a pair of vintage tractors when I was in Camberley this afternoon.
