The 2003 valley rally!

End of July - The valley Rally - weather forecast not good. But who cares? Perhaps those that spend more time polishing than riding. On the whole the turnout was OK and the evening sessions were full.  Enough commentary onto the pictures

This little number caught my eye straight off because of the superb custom paint job on the tank.

Awesome!

The rideout was to the new Oxford dealership where Paul demonstrated several manoevers not to be tried by the unwary or those of a nervous disposition.

Odd Ball looking on bemused as Tubbs decided to drop in on a wedding unannounced. Or should I say, he had given the bride some warning that he might drop by with a friend or two.

Was she and her very smart bridegroom surprised to see such a large procession of Harleys?

I think so. They took it all in good humour and I think it's a wedding that will no go forgotten in a long time. not least with the Hotel's manager who hovered around nervously.

Anyway - back to Newbury race course to see some of the other offerings.

I love this little custom number.

Is this a case of bets and braces or what?

Onto the silly games.

.... and then onto the silly faces......

The compulsory tattoo artist did quite well. I don't think I saw him draw breath for the duration of the rally. I think I should persuade Rogue to attend the next one.

And then there was QUILL

I had a good time - considering the cloud I was under and the weather was bearable too. Until next time..........
