Glorious weather brought a glorious attendance; 12 bikes met at Pullover with another 3 to be collected on the way. We split into 3 groups and headed for a destination that we hadn't been to before - The TTT motorcycle village in Sudbury. We took the back roads as far as Bury to avoid the holiday traffic. It’s that time of the year when any approach to King’s Lynn is best avoided at the weekend especially on a bank holiday. From Bury it was down the A134 to Sudbury for most of us, about 60 miles covered in around 90 minutes.
The TTT is a combined dealership and cafe and, like many franchises, is located on an industrial estate. From the outside it looks uninspiring, but as you can see from the photos, on the inside there is a wealth of nostalgia, with machinery that brought back memories of an ill spent youth. Our arrival was timely because as we were dismounting around 20 other motorcycles arrived. With coffee and cake a priority we headed in to beat the inevitable queue. The Tardis interior had plenty of room to accommodate everyone and surrounded by interesting, vintage motorcycles it’s no wonder that this is a popular location for bikers.
The ride back was more direct and I’d like to thank Ian C and Bob B for leading a group.
Fifteen bikes is a good turn out and it could have been more if some of our regulars hadn’t had other commitments. Looking forward to the next trip in a couple of weeks time, keep it sunny side up.
Cheers Dave C
