Sunday, May 19

Sunday was spent at the British Motorcyclists Federation show outside Peterboro. Attendance figures for the weekend were reported to be around eighty or ninety thousand. First order of business was for the AMA group to attach our American flags (supplied by Brenda) and ride in the parade of clubs, representing the AMA. Then Kate and I spent the rest of the day walking about shopping in the vendors' booths, with an interruption to watch the "Flying Gunners" exhibition motorcycle stunt team. I bought some nice riding gloves and some lesser items, Kate got some waterproof riding boots, which saw a lot of use in the subsequent days' riding.
