Had a wander round the bike night at Poole Quay last night as its on each Tuesday night and they close the roads.
Not the warmest night last night so not the largest attendance but good fun and some good looking bikes and some I haven't seen before.
I only took a few pics on my phone, but here are some highlights.
Honda 250n Super Dream Deluxe in poo brown . Significant because it's the first bike I ever rode on as my Dad went to work on one for many years and he bought me my first lid and used to take me out at weekends. I still have the scars from burning my leg on the exhaust.
Lovely Speed Triple. Not sure if it's a factory colour but really nice.
Best of all was chatting to the owner of a HP2. I'd love one and you don't see them out and about much.

Re: Poole Bike night
I do like the HP2. Very nice bike. I think they're holding a decent price as well.

Re: Poole Bike night
Good to see Poole bike night is as popular s ever. I've never been, planned to go many times but something always came up.
Must put it on my biking bucket list.

Re: Poole Bike night
Did a stop over a few years back for the Poole Bike night, was fun, lots to see, plenty of nice bikes. Looking at the photos, seems to be alot more new flats built down there too....

Re: Poole Bike night
A lot of the industry is being replaced with flats now. Much smarter. The flats on the quay fetch £500k plus!

Re: Poole Bike night
Me and my missus went last year, had sausage and chips on a bench looking at the bikes. Had a fab night there, need to go again.
