This year it didn't disappoint us either. With a fantastic surprise of beautiful weather, this so small but so big event turned out to be fantastic. The town was full of people, bikes and entertainment. http://www.chippenhampeople.co.uk/pictures/Calne-Motorcycle-Meet/pictures-13034380-detail/pictures.html
It started off early in the morning with Bike ride INS and ride OUTS, other bike shows and prize winnings. There was a lot to see from the newest shiny bikes to very old vintage beauties. Down town by Sainsbury's they organised a little market where you could buy real leather jackets at decent prices.
No one forgot about the younger fans either! Right next to the market they had a fair where children could have their own fun.
In the town centre they had put up a stage, that was actually a lorry where they had local bands preforming during the day. One of the bands is a Calne band called The Porn Issue. http://www.thepornissue.com/
After the Bike meet had finished and everybody was ready to relax pubs had great entertainment of music, The Rec Club had a rockabilly band called Havant outlaws and The Wheatsheaf had three bands, Calne soul band called Mojo Rising http://www.facebook.com/mojorisingmusic?sk=wall, Swindon Motorhead tribute band called the Snaggletooth and the headline cider punk band from Calne called Mic O' Toole. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mick-OToole/169599093092907.
The whole day deserved a good 5 stars. The atmosphere was very friendly. I can definitely say this is an event not to be missed so if you missed it this year, be there next year.
