tbh I'd forgotten what a great meeting it is, I used to go as a teenager then all the other stuff got in the way, but it is just such a relaxed friendly place I've been missing out, and the stroll through the paddock is worth the entry fee on its own
The Honda four in the clip...well... unless you have a large amplifier, and sympathetic neighbours, then you wont hear what it really sounds like, 4 into 4 empty megaphone exhausts, "loud" is a very inadequate word
Mind you, a couple of the big singles were giving it a run for its money!
I was stood next to the assembly compound when a parade group were forming up, the there were two of the Hondas, an Adler aircooled 2 stroke twin racer (even louder), a Velo on a fishtail (amplifier rather than silencer as far as I could tell) and a selection of singles on various exhausts including meggas... not only was the ground vibrating properly the volume was making me feel mildly queasy
I could have stood there all day
Edited to add: That's all my video clips on youtube now, the photos are far better but too big to upload to a freeserver without resizing (which is a pita and very time consuming) so just as a taster for now here's the smallest racing thumper I've yet seen...
That little blue thing has an 80cc four stroke in it and is the cutest bike I've seen in a long time lol
