Every Tuesday night from may to September there a local bike show on the Quay at Poole (UK). Over a 1000's bikes are on display from your normal road bike to the more obscure. Members of the public get to walk up and down the rows of bike and talk to the owners. Its an absolute nightmare to take picture at with people, shiny paint and chrome making life difficult. Here is a small selction from last night:

It won't win any beauty contest but it was different

Bike of the Night, Yamaha FS1E 50cc, these were all the rage for 16 year olds kids about 32years ago, this one has been tweaked, never got to ask the owner but I guess its about 80\100cc now.

    As a major-level bike nut myself, I always enjoy seeing other peoples' rides. You did well. Shooting at these type events is tough. That Yamaha in the last pic is very interesting.
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
