Club night, June 6th (cripes, where’s the summer gone?!)

A beautiful sunny evening attracted a good number of machines, ranging from vintage to ‘modern classic’.
The evening started with an extremly pleasant 30-odd mile run around the Levels, which were looking close to their best in early summer.
Back at base there were refreshments, a slide show and some ‘interesting objects’ to accompany formal Section proceedings and close off a very enjoyable evening.
(Thanks to Chips for an extremely well planned run!)
‘Best bike’ award won by the 1927 Norton Model 18.

 

Five riders gathered around a vintage Norton
‘Best Bike’ Norton and a pair of 350cc BSAs
A red Morini motorcycle and a modern scooter, also red
Well, they’re both red!
A varied line up of motorbikes, the first four of which are twin-cylindered
Four twins
A motorcycle converted to a tricycle and a three-wheeled Morgan car.
Different takes on 3-wheeling
A black Francis Barnett two-stroke
A classic Franny B.
A Kawasaki motorbike, but it's painted red not the usual green.
Another red one, and it’s not green!
Two motorcycles and two onlookers, all viewed from behind.
Some rear views!
An air-cooled BMW fitted with a very substantial prop stand.
Airhead BM – with secure stand…
A Matchless twin from the 1950s, a Triumph twin from the 1980s and a multi-coloured, fully-faired Honda 600 four sportster from the 1990a
Plenty of variety with these three…
A red BMW airhead R80ST, a black (with green lining) Honda twin with high-bars and small leather panniers and a single-cylinder Royal Enfield in military style (green paint and canvas panniers) fitted with a substantial modern Givi windscreen.
…and plenty of variety with these three!
Three BMW twin-cylinder motorcycles, all viewed from behind.
More rear views (Teutonic this time)
A modern cruiser-style V-twin Ducati Indiana and (behind it) another modern cruiser-style machine with a parallel twin engine and a tank badge that isn't one of the usual ones!
And another pair of twins.
