I went to my first bike event of the year today, a little local show called Ride Free. Basically a free event organised by the Bike Safe guys along with a few other bike safety organisations. Took a nice ride over with a few mates, amongst the various stalls was a local bike school offering non riders a chance to ride, some local dealers for Triumph, BMW, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Honda were there displaying their new models (big drool moment with the Triumph Sprint, but very high price tag IMO). There was also 'The Wall of Death' display which was something very different, basically some old Indian and Honda motorbikes being ridden up the walls of a wooden cylinder.

There was also a stunt show by a guy called Steve Colley, e was using a GasGas 250 & 300. Quite fascinating to watch and he was giving an run-thru of what he was doing, which gear, which brake etc.

He did the stunt of removing the front wheel and forks and managed to ride the bike onto the roof of his van and 'hop' off the back end.
Great show, good atmosphere and had a lovely ride home (scenic route through the lanes).
