I took a few outside of all sorts that I liked, but once inside it was so busy, getting good pics was difficult due to the amount of people milling about. I've deleted quite a few off my phone today where bikes are part obscured by people walking by. But here are the ones that were ok; 20171014_142156 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_141750 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_141104 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_131436 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_124104 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_115315 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_114252 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_114143 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_114136 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_114055 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_113721 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_113614 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_113446 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_113330 by David Miller, on Flickr 20171014_112611 by David Miller, on Flickr Not easy to get good pics on Norbos stand due to it being mobbed most of the time !!

Oh FFS! 😣 Will somebody put some pics up from the show Busting to see something Couldn't make it as signed off work sick and can't drive long distances Steve It is a long distance I was there on Tuesday 5 hours each way just to collect a new van. hope it’s not serious Steve They think my diabetes has damaged the nerves in my legs although I'm not convinced it's that. Any more than half an hour in the car and my legs start cramping up. When I get out the car my muscles and joints have all seized up. Wasted 3 weeks on meds that just made me a zombie and never helped, on new meds now but take 2 weeks to kick in. Biggest reason I don't ride much now, nice at the time but cripples me for days after.

The show was great, some fantastic bikes there. For me Norbo's stand and the old classic Suzuki 'tent' were the best. Really good to meet some forum members, Muttsnuts, Dono, Marsbar350, Yogi, Norbo and of course Dusty and Yamark and son, Vic and anyone else I may have forgotten!!
Looking forward to next year!

Thanks once again to every one who took the time and put in the effort to bring a bike . as always its appreciated and it does take time and effort to do a show but i think every one had a good time and the stand looked great and we did get 2nd best stand at the show , witch was good as its the first time we have properly done the show . It was all so a record set up i think at 8 and a half hours to set up and 3 hours to take down.

Well done Norbo and all involved - the stand did look fantastic and got a huge amount of attention from show goers. And second place is high praise indeed - there were a lot of stands there, and as good as many of them were, they weren't a patch on yours. And the standard of all the bikes displayed by forumers was as good and better than all of the bikes at the show I was really impressed with all of them. There is a lot of talented Lc builders on here Dusty

We were the first club threw the door managed to get in 2 hours before the doors were officially open at 11am so an early 9am start to the set up DSC01607 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr Luckily I took the Ging and Andy turned up early as he lives local , and a massive thanks to Andy for his help in putting up and taking down as he was there from the start and was the last person to leave at the end when it was all packed away . It took until 5.30 to get the stand up so a record 8.30 mins to set up and 3 hours to take down . DSC01608 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr So this was the stand on the day and once again a big thanks to every one who put there name down for the show and helped with the setup. DSC01616 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr DSC01617 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr DSC01609 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr DSC01610 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr We were just stuffed all day on both days lots of people looking at the bikes and talking 2 strokes it reoly was a great weekend. DSC01611 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr DSC01612 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr DSC01613 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr DSC01614 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr DSC01615 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr We got 2nd best club stand . so all that effort in the set up was appreciated by some one . I was grateful just to have got in at the show but this was the icing in cake for me . DSC01618 by Norbo Lea, on Flickr Best club stand went to the Air cooled RD Club and 3ed went to Fizy club so a big congratulations to both clubs . So All winning clubs were 2 stroke clubs and Yamaha clubs ( just saying 2 strokes rool )LOL

So Norbo, what you going to buy with the £750 you got for the stand getting 2nd place .......... It was £500 not £750 and it will go to the stand like anything we have ever got from shows . Just befor the show i spent £200 on the bunting and new gold flooring. Think we are about £500 down on money spent on the stand so far, But never the less i dont let that stop me spending more on it to try and make it as nice as i can.

It was such a stand!! Met Norbo, didnt really get time to say hello to anyone else, the little lad was wanting to do stuff.
It really does highlight the passion for RD's and the creative ability of owners. My project is going to be more than I set out to do, more costly and more time, but it will be a dream come true as a result of this forum and its members!!
Cheers all....
