The Banbury Run

[Tony] Well it is down to me to make the report but as yet I have been a bit slack...

As some background to the event ,

BIKERS from across the country flocked to Banbury on Sunday to celebrate an annual event for what could be the last time.
Drayton School was engulfed in a haze of smoke as 500 motorcycle lovers arrived for the Vintage Motorcycle Club's 59th Banbury Run – its most important event.The bike enthusiasts tackle the roads around Banbury and surrounding villages with their vintage vehicles that date back to at least 1930.

Unfortunately this might be the last time Drayton School Hosts this event... more information here... http://www.banburyguardian.co.uk/news?articleid=2970067

John and Nicola setup the Goodwill4 Charity Stand before 9:00 am conviently I did not manage to get there before 9:30...

John and the Goodwill4Charity Marquee.

To the side his trusty steed. (Note the UK map, it had raffle tickets in each landwark of this years RBR as a fund raising option during the day.)

The collection box and the raffle goodies all with a very pink theme to it, but lets not forget the focus of this fund raising is for the pink Cancer Research and EVERYMAN.

The Pink helmet was not the Stigs sister supporting the event, but the ingenious money box For the fund raise.

THE BANBURY RUN

Well for me it was quite impressive to see, and as John pointed out, the smell is like nothing you get these days. Some of the machines where restored to even better condition, i think, than when they where new... some where works in progress and some...well... some where just lucky to be there... but don't be deceived, appearances can be deceptive.
