Bikes and Burgers

Escaped work tonight and drove home to swap over to the Tiger and head back into town for the Bikes and Burgers event.  This was the second event - I missed the first one because...I forgot.

The event seems to be an excuse for riders to get together to ogle each other's bikes and talk bikes while waiting for a burger.

Rocking up about 10-15mins early, I certainly wasn't the first there and quickly found the Tiger parking zone.

Parked next to Colins Tigers doppelganger

Another Tiger sport found the correct parking spot and yes, that's another one behind the 900

The burger cart was fairly swamped and the people running it were flat out, but the burger was pretty good and I chatted to Murray while waiting.

After taking my burger back to the bike and dispatching it I caught up with a couple more of the old Ashhurst riders and then went for a wander to check out more bikes and see if there was anyone else around that I knew - I had spotted Steve from work earlier but he disappeared somewhere while I was queuing for grub.

These guys resisted the urge to cut some grass

One picture I wish I had got (I had a burger in my hand - priorities) was of a guy on a M109 towing a one-wheeled trailer behind.  In the trailer was his dog and they were both wearing matching hoodies.  Very cool.

Come 7pm there was a raffle drawn (free entry) where some of the 170 odd riders were lucky enough to score some donated bits and pieces.

Following the raffle, people started taking off and I did the same.  Only I got lost on my way home but managed to find my way back (in sport mode) from Colyton via Valley Road.  The outing was worth it just for that 😉
