On Thursday 9th to Sunday 12th August the 21st Annual Bulldog Bash now considered easily to be the biggest biker party in Europe.
Probably at least 30,000 but probably more like 50,000 bikers and families of all ages from toddlers to grand-parents attended in a gorgeous Warwickshire (Shakespeare’s county) in surprisingly hot sunshine.
Basically if anyone wanted to, you could race your own bike and get an official timing/speed/
In addition to this we had live bands playing on 2 separate stages, a rave tent, loads of fairground attractions, and loads of side-stalls selling all manner of bike parts and paraphernalia, clothing, food, etc.
For MDMC in attendance was Brocli, Spankit (MDMC Philippines), Parky (MDMC Thailand) and Tom ‘Tucker’ (MDMC Thailand – Prospect).
I got there early on Thursday and met up with some of Lee’s mates and pitched my tent, followed by Lee on Friday with his tent, and the Thai Chapter guys on Saturday.
Thursday night was reasonably relaxed as most things finished up at 1am but oh was Friday different.
Me and the lads started early morning on the beer and cider and was well oiled by the time Brocli arrived. We had managed to watch the Jet car which, apart from incredibly noisy, was a glorious demonstration of how to use a Sikorsky jet engine to even better use. The Jet bike was also impressive at 10,000 bhp burning 4 gallons to the ¼, i.e. 16 gallons to the mile, yee hah!
Friday was spent checking out all the stalls, and custom bike show which some lovely chopped bikes.
The main event of Friday was Status Quo playing live (which was just brilliant) and we settled down for the evening with our jackets and some Tanduay rum and cups of cocoa, ha ha, believe what you like!
We also had a visit to the Adult Entertainment tent which was expectedly tame for our normal standards but still a fun diversion.
Actually I finished up at 5am I think and was not a playful person for most of Saturday.
On Saturday, Parky came along by lunchtime and we joined him at the track watching the racing, drinking and soaking up the sun. Tom turned up soon afterwards and Brocli, myself and the other lads tried to struggle through the day.
Late 70’s punk band The Damned headlined the Saturday acts but whilst they were exuberant, I don’t think our hearts (or any other parts of our bodies) were up to much jumping around.
We wandered off amongst the stalls and by the time the fireworks came on, we were quite ready to collapse back at the tents. The fireworks were incredible, at least 15 minutes of non-stop pyrotechnics.
Sunday morning I was up early and ready to eat and have a coffee and packed up the tent. The others followed sometime afterwards and everyone got home safely, knackered, but full of renewed brotherhood.
