as we approached Bedford on the second evening into the ride, a wild wind whipped up and the rain came on in. Recognising a name on the map of the farm where the amazing Trip Out Chopper Fest is held, and figuring if the folks there are righteous enough to let a load of hairy bikers loose on their land, they'd probably be up for letting us stick a tent up in a field, we made a slight detour and knocked on. Righteous doesn't actually come close to describing Gilly & Martin, who are two of the most generous and lovely folks I've ever met whilst out on the road. They let us stay in one of their cottages, brought us about a million meals, drinks, treats and even brought down a stack of chopper mags for me to get lost in. There's good folks out there, its good to know that. If you're even remotely interested in old bikes and loose times, go to the Trip Out! |
