The Egg Run, Wirral, Merseyside, UK http://www.wirraleggrun.co.uk (I'm not sure why, but the link button is greyed-out.)

The Egg Run was started in 1981 as a charity run to give and deliver Easter eggs to a local children's hospital. Originally there were just twenty bikes, now a few thousand take part and it has become one of the biggest meetings of its type.

The bike in Peter's shots must be set up for drag racing with that length of swinging arm. I can only presume that as a road bike he takes corners vverrryy carefully!

My bike shots are all from racing events:
One of the World Superbikes


A Harley-Davidson XR1200 at Oulton Park

And a classic Manx

How times have changed; a Manx with a silencer!

Unfortunately the nose regulations at Brands hatch, make it essential.

I remember watching the Junior - or was it the Senior - TT at the Guthrie Memorial and after sitting most of the day having mainly Manxes, G45s and 7Rs blatting past I had the most awful headache.
