italian day, c.m.c, clay cross.

cmc had their 'italian sunday' day a couple of weeks ago, fair play to cmc, they hold various free shows through the year, brit bikes, two-strokes, scooters, custom and modified, streetfighters, yes, yes, i know it's just a con to get you into the dealership to spend your money, but at least they are giving something back to the local motorcycling community, a chance to meet fellow enthusiasts and a spend an afternoon quaffing tea and talking bollocks.
 the bimota importer had tipped up and were displaying a very fine line up of exotica, the db9 'bimotard' caught my eye straight away and i poured over the details, i stealed myself to ask the price, twenty two thousand big-one's to you squire, holy shit, i sold my first house for that! saying that though, i would buy one in an instance when my lottery numbers come up, just proper bike porn, amazing engineering and exclusive, [they haven't sold one in britain yet].
      the amount of bikes was quite staggering, i've attended almost all the events at cmc and the place was packed, the bikes that turned up were of the highest quality, the little lambretta cut-down racer with the tin of castrol 'r', the amazing red bevel, the itom racer, the original scrambler, jota's, guzzi's, morini's, all the different marques were well represented, oh yeah and a certain black ducati 750ss, the peaky blinder, won third place even though i didn't enter it in the show...............
