We were out on a 'Having a Dave Day' today, taking our classic bikes to Risedale Nursing home, Barrow-in-Furness, to put on a display for the residents there, some of which were bikers themselves in the past. It was great to talk to them and hear some cracking stories of old. I took the 1936 Velocette MOV which my good friend Charlie is sat on. A day of doing something nice for someone else.

Have a look at this guys, it all the fantastic work that goes into restoring, repairing and re-chroming parts on our old bikes. It's great to see how the full process is done.
