Chinnor
Byke Dayz 2015
After
winning a concours cup at the Paul Fynn Rally it was time to
celebrate so after a quick change I was chauffeured out to the event.
We arrived about 7:30 in plenty of time to have a walk around and
hand out even more fliers to the unsuspecting. I even managed to
hand one to the MAG Political correspondent, Lembit Opik and a
feature is promised in the Road magazine at some point.
Lots of
traditional beer and enough rock music to keep everyone happy. Once
again this year Shambollick entertained us with high wire gymnastics
and some interesting juggling with fire and even more fire breathing
to singe us all. This year it was warm enough without any
pyrotechnics. My thanks goes to Wycombe MAG who put on the event and
the proceeds have gone to supporting MAG and the local Air Ambulance
Service.
I
had too many things to do on the Sunday with the Observed Sunday on
the first of every month and the Heathrow Classic Vehicle Show.
Neither of which I managed to get to. I needed to be at the Wey
Valley Club meeting point by 09:30 but as I didn't wake up until 10
so I figured it was best to stay where I was. The day ended up being
filled with family stuff making any escape impossible.
Monday
at the Museum was not busy with only a few visitors but the couple
from Austin in Texas made the day worthwhile, talking bikes and
history all afternoon. The next day I received an e-mail with photo
from the couple they were very complimentary about the Museum and us
Volunteers. This just makes what we do as Volunteers even more
worthwhile.
After
coming back from Luxembourg and discovering that the Valiant had been
incontinent I had replaced the right tap insert and now discovered
that the left one was not sealing either so I replaced the cork on
the tap. Thursday was a blisteringly warm day and great for a run out
with the Bike club with a trip around Surrey and Hampshire covering
some 240 miles by the time I had got home. Saturday was another warm
day and Gita and I had been invited by the organisers for the local
2CV club to take part in the Burnham Carnival near Slough. Another
venue to hand out fliers and talk cars and bikes and have a pleasant
afternoon in the sun.
Back
at the Museum on Monday and a very wet start. It dried as the day
went on and for this Monday we had a visitor from Toronto, Canada.
The relevance of this will become evident in the future.
