Wheels Day 2007

I have always had problems finding Rushmore Arena, Aldershot yes I can find easily but the Arena no.
So I was more than happy when it was put on the events listing for a HOG ride, Keith will know the way I thought.
And so loaded up with buttered hot cross buns I was at Boxhill at early cuppa o clock. And then steadily a large collection of Surrey HOG’s finest all ready for a day of Hotrods, Hot cross buns and soon to be Hot Hot sun.
And so we followed Keith down byway and highway until the traffic jam known as Aldershot, if you needed to know the route it was easy just follow the overheating cars.
Eventually after some brave filtering we reached the arena and the smallest possible area to park the bikes, it was fun. Keith then admitted he had not been too sure of the route either.
This is now the 33rd time the Surrey Street Rodders http://www.freewebs.com/surreystreetrodders/index.htm
Have held their “wheels day” and it truly does encompass all things with wheels. Yank Motors, Hot rods, Classic cars, Street rods, Bikes etc
Within seconds our group was split, as the arena is so vast
But you kept bumping into members left right and centre
It was especially nice to see the Bastinnis biker build off Bikes and Sidecar they built for the Hogs back Brewery. It really is a thing of beauty.
And the trike from the 1970’s was something else.
On regrouping at 2 we started the game of who else could find a ¼” 12 point socket in the tool store, and the right bolt for Marks bike.
I was then due to follow the others for a meal, but it all went wrong, as I followed another group altogether and I got lost, and so ended at the Ace Café, but that is a separate story.
