Scottish Bike show, Ingliston 07/04/18

On Saturday we went to the Bike Show at Ingliston on the outskirts of Edinburgh, this was the revised weekend after it was postponed in March due to the snow.
After watching the Motorbike Show on TV last week, I was glad to see there was a distinct lack of motorcycle Yuppies attending, no Quinoa vans or trendy bars selling cocktails, this was a Scottish bike show after all, just normal goin aboot folk, some that looked like they had just fell off a flitting and eating  at burger vans drinking wishy washy tea.

A couple of classics at the entrance to the classic bike hall

Cracking 550 Four

A red MV


Just for J.P


A beautiful piece of engineering




Almost art, must be a very talented engineer



Nortons galore


Standard CBX, very tidy


Would love to have a hoon around on this LC, sticky looking tyres :-)

A very varied bunch of classic bikes, British and Jap

Honda CB125, the same model I passed my test on, great wee bike until the big ends went at the Gilmerton corners, got it home thanks to Brother Gino

Kawasaki GPz900R, same model and colour as my first big bike, a fantastic bike, fast as hell and so much fun, until the big ends went at Dalwhinnie, hmm recurring theme here.

Spent ages talking to the owner of this bike about Kwackers and White Power, the shock absorber people from Sweden.

Beautiful zed, so much more presence than the new version


Braw looking Bee Em


Rudge, Rudge wink wink

Jake explaining the intricacies of the slide rule, maybe?

More Nortons

Me trying the new Speed Triple RS for size, would be ace fun but no good for the back or the licence 

Lesley thinking about buying the Bobber, na the Street Triple is better

This time me trying the Thruxton for size, great fun I bet but I kinda drooned it
