Silloth Vintage Rally.

Recommended Posts

   I did have the C-81 and C-125 entered, but as I did not get home from the farm till 11pm Sat night, I couldn't get them there for Sat and Sunday morning I was somewhat jaded. Grandson number 3 and I did pay a visit though. The days were hot and plenty of visitors hit town and the rally.

  Remembered my camera so a few photo's to follow. The motorcyclists were from The Isle of Man and they put on a fantastic comedy performance. Most of the bikes were Honda 50's.

 

Couple of V8 hot rods.

Even though we were there by 11am taking photo's was a bit of a nightmare due to the crowds.

 Thanks for the comments on the photo's, lads.

 

 It is a good little two day show and usually well attended. Organised by a handful, and I mean handful, of people. The usual parade had to be canceled this year due to a shortage of stewards and the number visitors.  Unfortunately, being on the town green, they cannot charge visitors and rely on donations. Being a steward shortage, there was no one available to go round with the donation buckets.

 

 Makes you wonder about the mentality of some people though. Blazing hot day and some moron left a dog in a parked car with all windows shut.  If I'd had a hammer. :angry:  I hope the police got them.

 

On a lighter note a complaint was made about the smoke from the miniature steamers. "Can't they switch them off," some woman complained. :rolleyes:
