Some photos taken at the Hastings ride out

No great photography but it's mainly motorbikes

What was the occasion?

 

Mayday run / Jack in the Green. Depending on who you ask.

 

Mayday (May 4th) run to Hastings from Locksbottom

I find these kind of pictures quite depressing insofar as there seem to
be very few younger motorcyclists at these events.

I'm beginning to think that the UKRM demographic maps quite closely to
the motorcycling community at large.

When I was a lad, I'm sure that older cunts such as myself were very much
in the minority at these sort of events.

 

If the hair colour is anything to go by some not so old. Not all grey/
white or missing, but perhaps for you, the 'older cunts' , are indeed
younger than those I consider older.

It maps to the Usenet community at large, more like.

Check out the web forums. The SV650 forum in particular is crawling with
youngsters on 33bhp restricted bikes.

 

Could be you have a point there, young man.

 

Good Lord. I think you've posted something correct.

 

Sorry - I meant "what makes it picture-worthy?".

 

Heh, I've still got 4 videos ('92-'95) of the May Day run on my shelf
next to me. I need to have a watch sometime, as there will be some
laughs there for me.

Expect a "WTB: SV650" post from Wessie real soon now.

I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate

go and talk to the Catholics.

 

Nah, I'm going back to uni in September...

That's no excuse matey.

 

I haven't done it in over a decade now but it used to pretty much go
past my door so I'd pick up the run at Tonbridge. It was quite a good
run - OK, not high-speed hoonery but when you have several thousand
bikes riding down a smallish A road to the seaside there's not much room
for playing silly buggers.

The bikes take over the entire sea front, parked along the entire length
of the promenade. The scale of the thing is quite impressive. Or was to
my teenage eyes, anyway.

 

Of course, having now looked at the photos posted, I see they're all
from the start at Locks Bottom, not the end at Hastings. How fucking
pointless.

 

Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.

 

Ah, right - thanks. I'd never heard of it.
