Title: Plymouth bike show
Post by: the coppersmith on July 27, 2019, 07:23:32 PM
right in the centre of Plymouth there is a huge sundial, meeting place. They held a bike show today and it fell flat due to regulations stopping bikers crossing the pedestrian zone, so spoilt the show. However here ar a few of the carpark bikes that could have been on display. Sorry its nearly all Harleys, seems I'm alone in not wanting one! Also I'm near on 68 in a couple of months and I was one of the young ones there !!

Hi Steve.
We need to get back to reporting on shows. Thanks for that. You're not alone -I've never got the Harley thing either, but appreciate a nice bike built around one.
Strange that the organisers hadn't forseen the access issue beforehand, but I guess they've learnt from it & will improve next time.
Looks like yours would have fitted in well :)

health and safety strikes again, simple fence channel and problem would have been solved. All bikes had to be on display by 9 and not allowed to move until 5. long day for those that pushed their steeds across. Whwn they have it on PLymouth Hoe they have hundreds of bikes turn up

That's why not many turned up,bloody councils.. >:( health and safety brigade cut down about 10 glorious oak trees at a local primary school in case the branches fell and hit the kids? Not happened in 50 years 🤬
