18th July 2018

Over 600 bikes lined up and on Poole Quay on Tuesday 17 July for a fantastic night of Poole Dream Machines, sponsored by Dutton Gregory.
 
Congratulations to Richard Stephens from Poole who won the weekly ‘Bike of the Night’ title with his BSA Spitfire Scrambler.  Richard, said : "The bike is only about a 1400 and was built for the US market as a desert racer.”   He rode home with the special prize of bike cleaning kit courtesy of Muc-Off Ltd.  Judge on the night, bike enthusiast Bill Willett, said: "This one stood out for me because of the brilliant restoration which has returned it to stunning original form.”
