Title: Newlands Corner bike meet Post by: Manky Monkey on April 07, 2013, 09:46:02 PM Every Sunday morning, at Newlands Corner, near Guildford in Surrey, there's an informal gathering of bikes. Mainly vintage, but a selecxtion of sports bikes, trikes & chops too. I used to live less than a mile away so often called in, just to see what was about. Now I'm 40 miles away but was on the road this morning & passing, so I stopped by.
Looked like an organised classic bike run was just leaving as I arrived. Title: Re: Newlands Corner bike meet Post by: Manky Monkey on April 07, 2013, 09:47:03 PM .

A couple of decades ago these two factions would never have shared the same carpark. Now they share a cuppa & admire each other's machines. Either we're all getting more tolerant of other groups or just getting older!

It's a good place just to drop in to (I've been dropping in there for since the mid 70's) as you're pretty much guaranteed to find some bike folk there, and a variety of machines. Sun 7th was a planned ride by the Brooklands Section of the VMCC, which is probably why there were so many oil-drippers to be seen, as they often start their runs form Newlands. ;) |
