  1. Thanks for that Chris! What an array of machines; some are so well finished they could have come of a production line, all are amazing feats of personal engineering. I must say the big, bad, black, Mad Max machine (17.10) is a beast!

    A couple of rowdies on petrol bikes too - '78 Bonnie? And a way cool dog!

  2. I hope you manage to come one year Jez, and apologies for not tipping you off via P.M. I think it will be at the same location next year, and you can book a room there at £60 per night for a double bedroom. You are so right about that piece of art, (at 17.10) it's also the best for me and told the owner/builder that after buying him a pint of Guiness.
    Stuart/ @Sharky698 can fill in far more details about this incredible machine and it's builder - can tell you he's from France for starters.

  3. That’s Abel’s bike. A great piece of engineering. It might possibly be off the road next year due to changing regulations in the EU. I hope not!
    That’s me running the converted BMW K75 round the field. First time showing my own project recently completed & MOT’d. It now sports a Daihatsu Charade 1L car engine. Just for the hell of it :)

  4. I believe it to be a 1.6L Diesel - but I’d have to check back on previous reports to confirm. A bit busy as still bikes on site & runouts to arrange.

  6. I really must get there someday. Sorting my latest Mini & outfitting my kayak have got in the way this year.

  7. Love the idea of pushing hyper mileage bikes to their limits. The newly refurbished pub and camping option make it even more appealing. I'll definitely try to make it next time!
