Seven bikers were greeted by relatively balmy weather conditions when compared to the previous week. This was the first 0900 start of the year and a few of us were bemoaning the lack of an extra hour in bed. The destination was the Krazy Horse dealership located in Bury St Edmunds. If you are a petrol head it’s well worth a visit. There are two separate showrooms in Bury and a reasonably priced cafe. They specialise in niche cars, motorcycles and e-bikes. The car showroom has a good selection of Morgans and Caterhams whilst the motorcycle side is predominantly big V twins but they also sell MV Agusta, Norton and Caballero brands.
Splitting in to two groups we took the back route to Bury transiting through Brandon, past Elveden on the B1106. The roads were still wet and greasy after the recent cold weather and subsequent salting. However the biggest hazards, literally, were the potholes. One was that large that some bright spark had placed a traffic cone in it to warn road users. Arriving just as the doors were opening we beat the crowds to the cafe as by 1100 the place was very busy.
The return trip was a divided affair with one group carrying on to Sudbury in search of another motorcycling water hole whilst Ian C led another group back home via Mildenhall.
It was a very pleasant morning, spent in good company and I look forward to the next outing.
Cheers for now Dave C.
