Taverners section run today

I went on our first run of the year this morning around Leicestershire. I met up with Gaz from this forum and his wife and a lot of other like minded people on assorted old bikes. We did a run of around 45 miles following a tulip road map. We started with a brew and bacon sarnies and ended at a pub in Kilby for a buffet and a beer. The run was organised by The Taverners section of the VMCC. What a brilliant morning out it was with a cold wind but some sun.

Some of the bikes out and about

The silver BSA 500 in this picture is 1947 and has just done 250 miles after its rebuild. So still smells of burning paint.

A very nice sunbeam which wasn't on the run but is ridden often.
