Bristol Italian Auto Moto Festival

is this Daves desmo then?

i think this is chars bike

 

I was just round the corner. Maybe 8 bikes away.

So close but yet ................

Next time.

 

You can't beat a nice Bristol council bin

 

Which bike?

 

The dirty Multistrada with a red Oxford bag on the back.

 

Are you referring to the Yamaha parked next to you?
How did that get in there anyway?

 

.., I used to have one of them

 

Yep, that's mine

 

Me too, brand new in 98 with a 916 in the garage to keep it company.
Those were the days...

 

Shall I book you two a double next year ?

 

The cheeky mayor of Bristol sitting on my bike!!!!!

 

What’s the latest on this event .

 

As far as i know its not on this year.

 

Ok thanks

 

I have it on reliable authority that the Bristol event is no more and there is little prospect of it being revived any time soon.
It would appear that (amongst other factors) the council's priorities lie elsewhere for the foreseeable future and as they are a critical player because streets have to be closed, the event in it's familiar form cannot continue.
A real pity, because it was a great event and presumably brought significant extra revenue into the city for the weekend.
There are Italian events in Bridgenorth & at Brands Hatch later in the year though.

 

Yeah - i live in Bristol and its one of my fav's - got any links for the other 2?

 

I haven't attended the Bridgnorth event but it's organised by some of the people responsible for the Bristol festival.
The Brands Hatch event is huge, bursting with Italian exotica.
