Old Bike Gathering – 2026 – photos

After a week of roasting hot temperatures and forecasts of rain for Saturday, we actually had perfect weather for our Old Bike Gathering; dry and sunny, but notably cooler than it had been earlier in the week. The bar was open, we had picnic tables outside and Tasty Bun caterers were serving the food. As usual, 40 year old and above bikes were on the lawn and eligible for the show, with modern bikes in the car park.

We awarded prizes for the: Best Triumph bike, Best British bike that wasn’t a Triumph, Best Foreign bike and Best Bike in the Show. Pictures of the winners and their bikes are below.

Bike Meet Photos – April 26

We had a cracking start to the year with our first Lunchtime Bike Meet of 2026 on Saturday. The weather was dry, warm and sunny and we had a good turnout with a great collection of bikes on the lawn. The bar was open, hot food was on sale and the picnic tables were out with music playing in the background. Don’t stop us now, ’cause we’re having a good time. Lets hope for more sunny weather for a great summer out on our bikes. See some photos of the event below.

Below is a short video that we made of the event and is on our YouTube channel.

Below is a longer video taken by a visitor for his YouTube channel. It refers to the meet incorrectly as the The Old Motorcycle Gathering, but that is our show for old bikes and will be coming on the Sunday 28 June 2026, where we award prizes for the best bikes in various categories. There were no prizes for this event and it was open to all bikes. Easy mistake to make though, because there were a lot of old bikes there and some were of show winning standard. Take a look.

Ride to Popham – Apr 26

We have often ridden there and just gone to the cafe. This time Graham went round the museum as well and found some bikes amongst the flying machines as you can see from the photos below.
