Me, on some old bike dragged out of a mate's collection (assuming its not hissing down/snowing again).

SS7
Edited: To say due to incompatibility of 'Rider' policies and letting mates ride your bikes, I'll either be on a push-bike or stuck in the car-park

I went today and felt that the theme was a bit confusing
two wheels and more...except four..... bikes buses and trucks.
Now I got there early and maybe left too early before a lot of stuff arrived (9.30)
but there were very few interesting bikes and certainly no trucks or buses. How
many buses and trucks have 3 wheels anyhow? Quite dissapointing as I have been
to 3 other Breakfast mornings and they were great...even in the snow. The best bit
for me today was the car park...nice stradale and GT2. Roll on Supercar Sunday.

It did get progressively busier from about 9.00, and they were still coming in when I left at about 10.00. There was a reasonable smattering of 3-wheelers but it was mainly bikes, and a lot of them were just what you'd see by wandering into your local dealer. It was shame that there weren't more 6+ wheelers, and I'm not sure why they let the Ford hot rod in, as I'm sure I counted 4 wheels on it! Still, it was worth going for the nostalgia trip: '70s jap bikes, Laverdas and old Brit iron.

I get the feeling that lack of postings on this particular Breakfast Club indicate possible lack of interest in the theme of the meeting?

Or am I wrong?

Certainly less busy than some, but still pretty well attended. I think a clearly themed bike meet may have attracted more people, but is that actually better?

Anyway few pics from me.

God knows if this swing arm's any good, but it certainly looks the part

Some Italian Beauties


One for my daughter

There were a few non bikes


But just look at this

Ill agree that it was primarily a biker meet as the place was swarming with bikes, loved it myself as they still run on petrol and have an exhaust which make nice noises, a Ducati with a Termignoni 'road legal' can on is definitely a sound I enjoy. Got there at 7:30 and there were about 2 people there, around 10:30 the place was really busy, about 11ish they started to leave so I walked up the road to the roundabout to watch them hoon off. Most bikes had gone by 12:30 I reckon. I think alot of people turned up expecting to see other vehicles but personally I wasnt expecting alot else apart from bikes but im sure alot of people were, saw 2 guys wearing red puma driving shoes, 1 with a Ferrari life jacket and the other with a red t-shirt and they just looked lost !! Good event for the bikes though and cant wait for the next event

I had a great morning, it sure beat the snow of last month!

Set off about 7am from Tunbridge Wells and had a cracking drive down in convoy to Goodwood on the clear roads. Only got a bit silly when coming towards Goodwood I watched a few of the bikers pull out of side roads straight in front of cars and nearly causing serious accidents, which wasn't so great as people weren't hanging around!

Wandered round for a couple of hours then a few of us had a walk round the edge of the track which was good fun as it was a lovely morning.

Looking forward to the supercars next month!
