The Manchester Honda
Owners Club 2013
An afternoon ride
Saturday -
But never mind, that’s normal for the manhoc crowd. John and Judy turned up about 20 minutes early, I was about on time and the rest came in dribs and drabs until we had 8 bikes and 3 pillions Which was a nice number for the ride.
We duly set off and shot over the A56 and onto the A59. No incidents but a lot of
traffic lights (which caused John much merriment as he knows how much I like them).
We soon hit the Southport firework traffic and the last 10 miles took ages -
Once we had parked up in the pub carpark (and extracted Norma from between the panniers
and handlebars) we wandered into the pub to find chairs and food. This took a while
as the pub was very busy. Well, it would be considering it was right next to the
park with the fireworks. But we were soon sat down and food was ordered. Johns liver
turned into pork chops and there was not chocolate rumpy-
Paul eventually turned up -
At last it was dark so we walked towards the park and the spectacular displays. No-
We stayed for 2 out of the three displays and then headed back to the bikes. Getting out of Southport was the normal chaos, but we were soon on the right road and on the way to home. Not sure what the others did, but Norma and I had cheese & a nice bottle of wine when we got back.
And so ends another successful manhoc ride. Thanks to everyone who came. Here’s a few photos to remember it.
