12th International Nailsea Bike Show 10- 11 September 2022

[Iron]

Some good guys organising this show. Free to enter, it’s in the Pub gardens, there’s food, bands and stalls. Fowlers, Riders and local bike type places will be there. The bikes on show are pretty and very cool indeed. Can you dig it?

See ya’ll there…brrrrrm…over

[Octoberon]

Sounds good but it’s a 150 miles from here. Not out of the question, though.

[Alfie]

Bump, it’s this weekend.

[Octoberon]

I am planning a run out with a mate this weekend but I think that may be a bit too far ofr us, unfortunately.

[MrsVisor]

We may be coming - not a firm plan as yet but it does look good.

Couple of nice Triumphs there today @Iron

[Iron]

Poo bears, I think I’m gonna be there tomorrow. Couldn’t make it today. Hopefully the Triumphs turn up again. Mumble mumble…
I’ll get some pictures

[MrsVisor]

We got a few pics (will post when Helmut sends them to me). They did have a nice selection of MV Agustas I was taken with.

There were three Nightstorms there too, including @HelmutVisor’s.

[MrsVisor]

A few pictures…we’re not very good at taking them I must admit, always too busy just enjoying where we are!!

This one is not my thing, but the work that has gone into it is amazing…

Some of the others:

There was a lovely Triumph America import, limited edition 3/25 on one of the trade stands…which we failed to get a photo of!!

The car park was filled with every sort of bike there is - with a heavy emphasis on Harley Davidson and cruisers which were mostly in the “overflow” car park although I got parked with some “smaller” bikes as I’d fit into the space I think!

[Iron]

Great photos. Hopefully I’ll add some more tomorrow.

[HelmutVisor]

This was the Limited Edition America we saw…the orange version, bought by the owner of Tru Tension

Yours will be much better I am sure - there were some brilliant bikes there which we utterly failed to capture!! Enjoy .

Look at the prices, it’s only 6 years ago too!

Wonders will never cease, I actually got off my arse and went out on a bike…took a few photos only to discover that some messy pup has been using it in the garage with oily fingers. Of course the oil has been transferred to the lens and made every picture look like a fat tart’s wedding photos.
So, forgive the ‘artyness’ but the saveable ones needed some erm…adjustments.

Katie the turbo charged Katana

One of those Suzis that sounded like there was a spare nut and bolt loose inside somewhere

A lovely Jawa speedway from the era before sound issues. 80 MPH, one gear, no brakes and 4 laps of aggression with elbows sticking out. Best spectator sport without a ball. Shame it’s more or less dead, every Friday night I’d be watching the 'Ammers at home matches.

I rode there today on a '77 Bonnie. This Jubilee is from the same year. I suppose they are only original once but I couldn’t stand the chrome like that. The primary case was worse.

A Suzuki thingy

A pair of very nice, much used machines. There was a bit too much oil under the Trumpet though

There was a very pleasing Z thou in the car park that I just caught as it was leaving. It had been owned by the same guy for 38 years. Stunning it was, and the sound…

[MrsVisor]

I liked the Suzuki thingy when I saw it yesterday!
