England

[Joevalk]

This is my second trip to England with in a month's time. Beautiful country Working on Furzey Island near Poole. Very small island with a lot of history. The locals workers have been telling me about Bike Night on the Poole Quay every Tuesday. Mannn what a site, couple of thousands of bikes from all over. I saw four valks, very few harleys, lots of sport bikes, lots of cafes, and beautiful CBX. Talked to 2 valk owners, they didn't know about the vrcc. One has 2 valks in the states and two in England. But he did ask if I knew the guy that did the (Fools) thing. The Barkers are internationally known Hope to see Stonehenge tomorrow.

Cheers

I thought they are the Bakers ? Or were you talking about Bob Barker 

[Joevalk]

Fools thing, Gathering O The Fools. Mark and Charline Baker that is

We hired a driver today, went to north of Salisbury to Stonehenge. What an awesome site
I wonder how they stacked them back up after Chevy Chase nocked them all down

If your at a loose end on a Sunday, Box Hill near Dorking is a big bike meet place..probably a good 100 miles from Poole though...

I'll probably still be here on Sunday, but yes that a ways away from here when you have no vehicle.
Hired cars gets pricey here. We wen to bike night in Poole tonight. I dint see as many bikes or any valks either. This nice cool weather here is terrible, 60s and windy. Whew it's hot

Joe,
If you have the time and want to check out how REAL motorcycle forks are made, find the Wasp factory.  I can guarantee it will be worth your time, as long as you can appreciate old world craftsmanship.  Mark is the guy I am dealing with on the Leading Links for the Valk.  Rob is the owner, about 80! 
Seriously, I think it would be a hoot to visit them. 

A Brit on the XR1200 forum was kind enough to visit them when I was having my Leading Links made for the XR.  They (Wasp) had not done a set for the XR and needed some measurement.  he said it was the coolest bike shop he had ever been in.

IIRC, they are not too far from Stonehenge.

10cc album "Deceptive Bends"  was named after a road sign near Box Hill.

I used to go there at least once a month when I was a bike messenger in London.

I'm only about 40 miles from Box Hill so call in there regularly...Never knew that about 10cc..will store that away for future reference....
