CENTRE: Local publican Jo from The Kings Head enjoyed it!
CENTRE RIGHT: Lovely example of a Douglas Dragonfly
RIGHT: Paintwork beautifully done, but just a bit over the top, we felt...
LEFT: Beautiful early 70's Ducati Scrambler. Spotted after we'd awarded best off road, unfortunately
CENTRE LEFT: 900SS with a nickel plated frame. One of our favourites

know as we've mislaid
his name.
Anyway, his lovely Ducati 250 Mark III won Best European
