Summer Solstice at Hayling Island Bike Night - Duke Dyson

The longest day of the year seems like the perfect moment to pop to the seaside for an ice cream and about 1000 bikes

Looks like a great chilled event buddy.. 😎

Ayup buddy, really good to hear from you. I don't manage to get to many of these so it's a bit of a treat to get to a nice chilled event where people seem to actually congregate rather than standing around glued to their phones 🙂 Whoever organises it has done a great job 🙂

​@@DukeDyson Sadly it seems that the concept of "The Bike Night" had become an ugly monster, now caught on for just about any commercial entity in the hospitality sector, Pubs, cafes, bars, air fields, you name it, just about anyone with a car park and a servery is clamoring for the biker pound, a trendy money maker coz everyone's doing it... Just about every night of the week now there is a "Bike Night" event where strangers gather and stand around with a luke warm £3.00 coffee and a grestle burger wondering what time to go home...Dont get me started.. i feel an FRO coing on..! Love ya buddy.. Stay safe aye. !

Some awsome bikes there bruv. The suzuki katana was the bike I wanted as a kid, that was a cracking example of an OG one. Thanks for the video bruv.

There was certainly some crackin' stuff there Ray. I liked the Darmah myself, just beautiful. Take it easy brother 🙂

@@DukeDyson Lovely film, the Darmah is a fabulous thing it belongs to a mate of mine. We arrived together, I was happy to see you also got my T140 in at the end. Thank you!

[@DukeDyson]

@@gmhgb Thank you kindly 🙂 I have a real soft spot for both Ducatis and Triumphs of that era as they were around when I was first riding bikes and were the machines of great desire. Tidy examples for sure. I do get to Hayling Bike Night from time to time but this is only the second time I've taken any images; maybe I should do some more eh. Cheers for watching 🙂

Excellent. Thanks, DD. Did you run into Spicy110? 🏍🏍😉😉

[@DukeDyson]

He only lives around the corner but I seldom spot him. I'm not sure just how often he actually gets out 😁

[@steveaga4683]

@@martybartfast He mentioned in one of his videos that he rarely attends the Bike Night! It's a shame! I would like to meet him!

[@steveaga4683]

Sadly, most of the bikes had left before this video started....shame!
