So what did you think if you went. I thought it was excellent value for money this year( Sept for the price of Guiness). Breed 77 ,the Alarm, Never the Bride and Wildhearts where all excellent. Dont know how it was managed but even managed to find clean bogs on Sunday morning with paper in them. The only thing I'd like to see changed is the rave tent either get rid of it or move it further away from the main beer tent as the bass was spoiling the quality live music.

Jedi, No they werent neither where the Alarm but Chuck berry cancelled due to illness so replaced by Wildhearts, ICP pulled out so replaced by Alarm, which in all honesty I think made the music better but would have liked to have seen Chuck Berry.

I used t moan about rave music at bike rallys but after attending a few cos the rock tent used to close and there was nowhere else to go we got into it!The Angels kept a dignified back seat and where much more laid back than ususal! Respect! Anyway, everyone we saw had a top neet. shame I missed the Wildhearts! but there you go!Heres a pic of meself wiv Mrs Monkey! In da dance tent! Rock n Roll! :D

Alarm replaced ICP Friday Night and Wildhearts Chuck Berry saturday Night.
I havent got a problem with the rave tent as such, but the bass was so loud from it you could hear it over the main bands every time you went up to the bar, I only walked into it for about five minutes on my way back to the tent and it aint my cup of tea but everyone else seemed to be enjoying it.

I was a bit dissapointed that chuck berry didn`t show up, but hey he is getting on a bit poor old fella.

once again the food and drink prices were to high, which is abit hard when the kids want to go with you,oh well they`ll be grown up soon and i`ll be able to go on me bike for a change.

The out side stage was too near the bloody wall off death, which spoilt the music because of that bloody bloke saying the same lines over and over....,
i felt sorry for the poor guy in the hells angel tent opposite he must have been phycotic at the end of the weekend. it was good to see that the road ways had be covered in a sort of very fine red sand, which made the mud dissapear. Once again the topless bike wash was excelent pwarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Eddie kid made an apperance, altough it was sad to see him dissabled although he still had his scence of humour which was nice, and yes girls he is still a good looking fella.
I was surprised at the number of lady bikers at this years show, it was good to see.
And yes the toilets were cleaner than usual this year.
i thought it was a good show this year but there was some of the atmosphere missing, perhaps it`s just me.oh well i`ll have to start saving for next year.

Very chilled out atmosphere! I wasnt too sure about the bouncy castle though! ;) (any one in the rock tent will know worra mean!) :D Oh! ere`s anover pic from the Monkey collection!Me Mates an Mrs Monkey (Bad Monkey) ;)

Bouncy castle? your not talking about the wonderfull flooring by any chance are you? I thought it was just me off me head.
Still just about recovered. Patriot games in a couple of weeks that should be a good un.
Rogue monkey, do you have to keep putting up pic's of your missus in just to rub in how good she looks even at a rally, only kiddin very nice.

i did not even dare to enter the tent after the downpour the mud had soaked through the carpet and even with the heaters it didnt dry out any :D

the hardstanding and the paths which had the sand on were pretty safe though, and the guy with the giant ball that catapults into the air cant have made much money, at £15 per person it was a bit steep and he didnt seem to be very busy or even going up much.

but all in all it was excellent and everyone seemed so laid back

Was my first bulldog bash this year and what can I say???? FEKIN WOW!!!!

The atmophere was superb, the entertainment great! My only complaint was a lack of bog roll in the pora loos, I think they'd also do better with a line of those loo trailers next year tho... porta loos are just too closed in for my likeing :)

It was a great life experience, I'm planning never to miss one!

Haha! you`ll give her a big head! You wernt mistaken about the floor dude! It was well wierd! Think thats why we didnt stay long in the Rock tent. Couldnt dance on that! :( The music was a bit drowned out by the dance tent too! I`m glad everyone liked it though, even if the music wasnt to everyones taste! Top do! I`ll get ya a pint if ya at Stormin!......erm..well... bad monkey will! hahaha! Cheers! ;) :)

Not wrong bout the floor Rogue, I knew I was off me head but that made walking back to the bar well odd.

Hope she dont get too big a head, but tis always nice when people give nice comments.
