some of the codgers are more interesting looking than the contraptions they are herding down the road.

well know London Brighton but you must have a bike built before 1913 or something like this.

Thanks for sharing that.. some stunning bikes I love the unrestored touch and patina on some bikes ..

the owners dressed in period clothing "living the dream" excellent :clap:

[color=#0000BF]The VMCC (Vintage Motor Cycle Club) hold events throughout the U.K and some beautiful bikes turn up, ridden by their owners, I visited one which was held annually only a few miles from where I live

here's a couple of pictures of the 2010 event, I cany find the 2011 meeting pics which are much better....mmmmm...must try harder :shock:

Check out the guy getting a sneeky peek at my H1 :lol:
