I suspect it was one of the group camped next to me and my mates - I could smell the petrol fumes after the event. Posers on newish Harleys with black number plates, one on a CCM Spitfire plus a couple of others. They didn't interact with anybody around them - other than to wake everybody up at 06.00 on the Saturday and then really piss everybody off at 04.30 on the Sunday with the bike start. And left a right load of rubbish on the table & benches they'd nicked from the site when they finally cleared off. Tossers (and not in a good way).
Other than that I had a really good time. Met a few people I know, rode the trail a couple of times on the DesertX and a borrowed KTM 690, went to a few of teh organised talks/demos, got some help from Guzzi and Mosko on a couple of issues, wondered round the photo display and film shows up at the main house and had a brief chat with Ted Simon when buying a book after his talk. A true gent. I also joined the TRF - which meant a free hogroast with a couple of beers thrown in on the Saturday evening. An excellent vibe in the TRF tent, only enhanced by Austin Vince holding forth. Food elsewhere was ok but not great - I'll be taking more of my own if I go again - but had a good evening in the beer tent both evenings - despite Guiness being £5.50 a pint.. Topped off by an enjoyable ride there and back on the v85. A good weekend
