Anybody at Finchingfield yesterday?

I was talking to a chap on a nice Goldie, when I saw a 961 Cafe Racer TT pull up on the other side of the village green. By the time I got over to it the rider had gone into a pub or restaurant. I hung around for a while in the hope of a chat, but we had to head off. Shame as It’s a special bike with a map of the TT course on the top of the tank and it would have been nice to compare notes.

Hi Cliffa, I get to Finchingfield quite frequently as my son in law is building a house nearby, be good to meet up and chat Norton's, perhaps we could arrange for other 961 owners to a meet there, what do you think? Let me know when you next plan a visit. Cheers

Doesn’t bother me, as I won’t actually have a bike with me anyway unfortunately. It would be nice to put faces to names anyway
