On that pub that got closed down the other week http://www.shropshirestar.com/show_article.php?aID=34861 "Bikers to celebrate pub's reopening Hundreds of bikers are expected to turn out at a Shropshire pub tonight to celebrate their victory after it won back its licence. The Wheel at Worfield reopened to the public yesterday. The pub was closed by police nearly two weeks ago amid fears over public safety. Landlady Gloria Goodson won back her licence at a court hearing on Monday, but must now obey a set of stringent conditions - including limiting the number of motorcycles at the premises to 750 and employing parking stewards - to prevent being shut down again. The gatherings, which attract hundreds of bikers every Wednesday, have taken place for the past nine years. Mrs Goodson says she is confident she will have all the conditions in place ahead of the celebratory meet but fears the new rules could cause chaos on the roads. "If bikers cannot come to The Wheel they may resort to just riding up and down the road which is what the police do not want," she said" -- Steve Parry K100RS SE & F650 and a 520i SE Touring for comfort [temporarily scarred] (not forgetting the SK90PY) http://www.gwynfryn.co.uk
Just got back from there. All very polite and well mannered and not a copper in sight. From a quick guesstimate I'd say about 600 bikes there at any one time and if they tried to get more than 750 on there it would be pretty packed and hard to get on and off anyway. -- Alex Hermes: "We can't afford that!

Don't you believe it, West Mercia Police State have un-marked bikes there every week One is usually parked on a driveway at end of the village on the right if your heading towards Bridgenorth. There has never been any trouble of any sort at the Wheel in all the time bikers have been meeting there, the only thing I can think of for the close down is that some one must have parked on a local councillors drive blocking them in. How long is it before the Bridgenorth Cafe on the Kidderminster Road gets similar treatment, as it is usually being monitored by the spy in the sky. West Mercia Police really need to rethink it's attitude not just to bikers but to the public in general, especially in Kidderminster. BTW. Did you used to have a Z1R in about 1980?

Champ fumbled, fiddled and fingered: embarressed .. heck it was 1980 -- Steve Parry K100RS SE & F650 and a 520i SE Touring for comfort [temporarily scarred] (not forgetting the SK90PY) http://www.gwynfryn.co.uk
Don't be - it captures the era really well. The finishing touch being the Austin 1100 in the background.
Champ fumbled, fiddled and fingered: Thing is a new Z1R would still be a usable good bike even now, whereas an Austin 1100 was always shite -- Steve Parry K100RS SE & F650 and a 520i SE Touring for comfort [temporarily scarred] (not forgetting the SK90PY) http://www.gwynfryn.co.uk
Well I didn't spot anyway , anyway , but I was sticking to limits for fairly obvious reasons. Not at the age of 7 , no. -- Alex Hermes: "We can't afford that! Especially not Zoidberg!" Zoidberg: "They took away my credit cards!" www.drzoidberg.co.uk www.ebayfaq.co.uk
