Re: 25th Anniversary Meet up. 9th July National Motorcycle museum
Just wanted to say, it was superb to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. It was like a mini "Op Storm".
The national motorcycle museum was brilliant, I can appreciate the old stuff, but it was the collection of ex race bikes which stole the show for me. Especially the Hislop Norton! What a piece of history.
Another highlight alongside seeing inside the museum was the impressive turnout of Firestorms. No two the same. Great to catch up with Yeti and see his all original (from 2004) ex race bike, stage 2 Spondon VTR, complete with innovative modifications such as the petrol cap retaining bracket!
A quick thank you to our excellent hosts, Mr and Mrs MCQ46. I've left a glowing review on TripAdvisor for the Mcqueen B&B, the location, food and hosts were perfect. 4.75/5 stars (I had to deduct a quater of a star because of the small hairy member of staff that wanted to fight everyone and sh*t in our beds
I'm inspired to carry on with getting my Storm finished and on the road, ready for the next meet up.
I'm afraid I didn't take many photos, but here's a couple...
