AKA - Fields & Forests Tour Back from Phil & Ratty's well-organized run over some of the narrowest, bumpiest, muddiest, & wettest Norfolk roads - had a great time - too busy driving to take many pics, but I know Artiki got some great video of a barking mad Scot (Dave) doing donuts in his...thing (I hate to say rat rod...) Nice small gathering (20-30 cars), plenty of BBQ & beer - even some musical entertainment from some of the boys in the pub afterwards! Here are the few pics I took: This was at our first stop - the 100th Bomb Wing Museum A quick stop after the mud to make sure the mad Scot made it through - the pics here don't do the mud justice - whilst I was warm & cozy in the sedan, the roadster drivers (the overwhelming majority of attendees) were soaking wet, covered in mud...and loving it! Another quick stop for a train to go by... Sadly, that's all I took & the rest of the guys can fill in the rest - Artiki & Banger can tell all about their five abreast banger race... Finally, a big thank you to Phil (monkeybiker) & Ratty (Ratty) for the weekend - Phil's away on a camping holiday now for some well-deserved rest & family time.
There's no telling - the maps provided were quite...errm...unique. But you're only 7 miles from everything! ;D All I know was we began & ended in Tibenham! Afterwards, many folks went to Ratty's do in Norwich - here's a thread on UK NSRA site w/pics: http://www.nsra.org.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=24797
Got a couple of pieces of video uploaded from the reliability run. First up is Wee Davey finding a pothole where before there was none! http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h6/Artiki_videos/?action=view¤t=airfielddaveyfunny.flv This one is of the five four-bangers going side-by-side up the disused airfield. Superb fun. http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h6/Artiki_videos/?action=view¤t=fourbangerlineupstart.flv
Glad you enjoyed yourself Ernie , had a blast myself wrestling the outfit around in the mud ! Was great to see everyone soaked and grinning like idiots , its thanks to everyone getting in the spirit that things went so well . Didn't take many pic's myself as I was having too much fun , but here's a selection of what I have got ... The Mad Jock's modified and playing Bangers get set and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO At the museum more and more One for the ladies , wanna borrow some Crack Spackle ?
Ahh, my best side! Haha! ;D Preventative fuel filter cleaning! Still struggling with a bit of rust in the old tank...
Too true - glad everyone enjoyed themselves, no egos to bolster, nothing to prove, just fools abroad in the countryside. Getting ever so slightly damp... Been away on my hols, but here's a few pics I took along the way.
Great pics guys. The pothole donut video was very funny. The weather looks like it does here in New England. I looks like your having a blast anyway.
My favourite fresh car out is Neil's A Sports Coupe. He begun building this shortly after it rolled off the production line I've been told. That's his cowboy print wigwam behind it. Of which I can say no more other than it matches his bedroom wallpaper... And a car is LOW, when it's knee high to a knee-high Scotsman. Only the cups of tea to let you know this isn't California, eh?
Holy ****....thats low.....It barely comes up to Alex's knees!! And he's not the tallest guy in the world!
Good stuff Phil , I've added my pic's to the Photobucket album . Did anyone get any pic's of my bike in motion ? Love to see what a **** I looked ;-)
I can tell you that & i wasn't there!! hahahahaha Great pics Phil......i knew you guys would have a mad time rain or shine! Kev.
I've got a bit of video of you trying to get it into reverse at the 100th Bomb HQ. I'll Youtube it later....
Not in motion, but you're wish is my command... Here's the brave Karen who rode shotgun through hell and high water with no seat, and just sungl***es for protection...
Here's a few rolling shots showing our glorious summer and wide open roads... Things were drier on the way there though! and here's Matt and the delectable Cathy. Consider this the British summertime, swimsuit edition...
Finally got round to taking the video off my camera - bit blurred, and a grey day. But yes TOO much fun!
And a couple more pics: Loving that Sports Coupe - too clean for me to sit in! Anyone see Flat Ernie trying to blag a ride?
I don't care how dirty you are Phil, you can ride in it any time, I may even toss you the keys, I owe you at least one drive of it. He was flashing his licence, thankfully that was all he flashed!
