It was a better day weather-wise than last year which meant a lot more bikes. :D

I met up with 2 people I already knew were doing the run and chatted to several more who recognised me from previous runs (strange as I've only ever turned up to take photos and follow the run down and never on a FS1E or any 'ped :shock: )

Here are some photos from the start at Bolney. I just wish that photos could capture the heavenly smell of two stroks and the sound of the biggest "moped gang" you've probably ever seen all setting off at once! :D

Puch M50

Aprilia 50 watercooled lump in a FS1E special

The start (and before the entire road was covered in a cloud of 2-stroke smoke)

Right, I'm off to scour the small ads for a 'ped to restore! :D

Cheers guys! :D

This Run is always a complete pleasure to tag along to and as I'm into these bikes a lot, taking the pictures is a labour of love, so to speak.

I wouldn't have said I did, that's the conundrum. However I still go to gigs in Brighton and have people saying "Dude you're that guy from Best Left Dead" which is seriously strange as I had a shaved head and long goatee beard back in those days! :lol:

Hey Ged (and everyone else)!

Have you seen the "Bottom" film "Guesthouse Paradiso"? It has a marvellous moped sequence filmed on the Isle of Wight.

Oh, look what I found:
