Trying to keep the photos coming, mostly bikes today, this was from the launch of the Donnington Nortons in 2009, I went there with the intention of putting a deposit on one of the first batch but after speaking to Tweedledee (the owner) and Tweedledum (the engineer???) my cheque book stayed in my pocket, It would be 10 years before the two of them were "found out".
I rode down on the Thursday with David T if I remember correctly and left on the Saturday before the "Dress Ball" on the Saturday night. If I wanted to get dressed as a clown at a bike meeting I could have bought a Harley (I was going to say BMW but oops I have)
Friday there were track sessions and it was good to see the bikes ridden, some faster than others!
enjoy, oh and plenty more to follow.

| I was mightily unimpressed by the Frame design |
