Here ya go, Tev62...!

The VJMC Rally/AGM at Kettering, England, UK.

This is only a general 'feel' of the rally and by no means a full report.  187 members were booked, but only a fraction of those made it - the exceptionally atrocious weather ruined the entire weekend.  I know it rains here in the UK - that's how we know it's  summer!  But this really was exceptional.  Massive thunderstorms randomly appearing everywhere.  Some hardy souls tent-camped, but most were in caravans or motorhomes (RVs).   This 'hardy soul' stayed in a nearby motel - at 75 years of age, my tent-camping days are well-and-truly over!

Anyway, here is just a small selection of 'bikes that caught my eye...









A beautifully restored Honda CB450 'Black Bomber' from 1966. One of these would have been my next 'bike, had I not got married...









Suzuki GT750 - One of the nicest 'bikes to ride that I owned, with an engine as smooth as an electric motor (when all three carbs properly balanced!)...



This guy preferred his 250 Yam to this 400 that he bought to replace it...

This fella has owned this Suzy for over 40 years!



And finally, one guy had fitted a Yanmar DIESEL engine into an old Honda frame...!



FINALLY finally, here's my little Yamaha YDS3 from 1965, that did the 500 mile round trip faultlessly, despite 5 or 6 massive thunderstorms on the way home...
