We decided to have a run down to the Capesthorne Hall Classic Car and Bike show yesterday. Weather forecast was showers then brightening up. Ian came over to my house on his Ducati and we set off down the motorway to meet Graeme at Parbold.
The 50 miles down the motorway got wetter and wetter as we went. Undeterred, we met up with Graeme and headed into Cheshire to the show.
The weather got worse all the time, and by the time we had got to the show a lot of the exhibitors had gone home!
But I managed to get a few pictures,
Capesthorne Hall,
This AJS was for sale, £3250
Lots of American cars on show,
Nice pair of BSA's
The little Magneti Minarelli was absolutely mint condition,
Graeme fancied taking this one home!
Believe it or not this V8 monster had a nitrous oxide kit fitted!
Another pair of BSA's,
1971 Honda Trials
After a look round the show, Graeme had mapped a route on his Sat Nav to avoid motorways so we set off following his Thruxton. Don't ask me where we went, all I know we rode through Cheshire and Derbyshire!
We did have to turn around at one point as the road turned into a track!
End of the road for us!
This is the view towards a very wet Glossop!
Graeme with Sat Nav in hand, and Ian looking less than impressed with the road!
We eventually found our route and had a good, albeit wet ride out.
225 miles in the rain and when I pulled into my driveway the sun came out!
