Each to their own.........we won't be there again........had a long discussion with Peter about the event and not for us after sampling it for two years...........
Goodwood is a decent event, and a good opportunity to promote WD bikes.........but it is also a long-haul Thursday PM to Sunday and far too static for me with little riding involved............the daily crowds too are simply too much.....you can't go anywhere quickly......a bit like the London Underground at rush-hour but all day.....and I dislike crowds intently.......
But, as I opened with, each to their own.........
I had a great five days. Here is some footage that my son Danny took. It's us and a commentary about some of the WW2 history of Goodwood, narrated by the March family.

Also I was strangely attracted to these George Cohen creations.....and Bobbers are not my thing
The first one was built for and collected by the current Lord March. Ron

Not quite Rik. But I did get up to 55 mph at one stage
We do two laps every morning which is only supposed to be on a parade. But we do mix it up a bit and have fun with the Mods and Rockers.
On another note, I did get chatting to a New Zealand guy for about 1/2 hour about Big 4 parts. Turned out to be Ken Macintosh who was over here with a Manx and an Inter which some famous guy was going to race........Nice Bloke! Ron

Ken's a thoroughly nice chap to deal with. There are quite a few of his parts on my 16H...including the best part of one of his Manx clutches....
Does he do any Big 4 stuff ?
Ken told me that he has 2 B4 engines (rebuilt) A side car chassis, three wheels a petrol tank and some other parts. He said he's far to busy to hunt for the rest of the parts and needs to find someone with a frame/forks etc for a coming togetherness
Quite a few in the Antipodes, so I'm sure he'll find someone down there. Ron
