London to Brighton Pioneer motorcycle run

Some of the pre 1915 motorcycles which rode to Brighton on Sunday


Unlike this time last year, it was a glorious day on Sunday on the sunny south coast for the Veteran motorcycles of the Sunbeam Motorcycle Club Pioneer run to roll down to Brighton.  Indeed many did just that arriving from 10am onwards - many of the riders dressed in costumes contemporary with their bikes - and all smiling.

Here, as promised last week, are a few pictures from the day which may tempt you down to have a look next year as it is quite an amazing sight...
