"Just 3 old British bikes out of the 800 that turned up so what is going on ?"

Lack of interest I guess Geoff. I have also seen one of those BMW 1800's, not sure what to make of it to be honest.

Slaves / Angels, at most of the bike nights I go to around here a load of them usually turn up, they usually wander around in a group and dont speak to anyone.

Each to their own I guess.
