My Ramadan escape this year included another rented bike and a ride to the Bulldog Bash, a bike festival organised by the Hells Angels with its own drag strip, custom show, fairground rides, adult entertainment, biker stalls and Status Quo topping the bill.  It was pretty awesome.

Guns to Roses, the only tribute band we saw on the first night were excellent and then on day two Bad Manners got everybody revved up and dancing before the mighty Status Quo took to the stage and rocked as I've heard they always do.  One thing I was happy to notice was the lack of cameras in the air.  In the UAE the audience at a big show is usually a sea of mobile phones and video cameras, maybe the difference was down to being back in the UK, maybe it was the average age of the audience. My favourite hypothesis is that bikers are the kind of people who appreciate the immediacy of a live experience like a ride or a concert and would rather be in the moment than recording it for later.

Perhaps serious bikers just wouldn't seen dead holding up a camera like they were at a Justin Beiber concert.  They probably wouldn't blog about it either...  I'll shut up now.
