Left the house at 6.30am to be at the Honington Car and Bike day yesterday. What a crap day. Mainly because the fine English weather pissed down rain for most of it. But even before it was raining, no one really turned up. Even the cars left early. "We only heard about it yesterday" a few people said. I had said I was going so went, though next time if there's any mention of rain in the forecast I just won't bother.
I could only be bothered to take two photos, one of Steve Harvie's great vintage Gilera leathers, and one of his rare Gilera Saturno 500 - lonely in a damp field.
I know the weather wasn't hot and sunny but what do you have to do to create a little interest to stir the apathy? A day to forget...

Maybe I'm feeling the end of the summer especially acutley as we haven't had one over here..
On a happier note, what a smashing bike. Saturnos encapsulate everything good about Italian bikes - light, economical and stylish beyond words!
I'm in complete agreement - it's a modern classic. I think I'd have one in my all Top 10 of Italian motorcycles. I was chatting top the owner and we were saying that it's sad that the Gilera brand only means nippy scooters to a whole generation by now.
