Burton Parade 2025 Review by Kate Wain

As Burton Parade first timers, we enjoyed fabulous weather and a big turnout of lovely bikes. Lining up at the start after signing on, Pat Davy gave an entertaining running commentary as he waved us away ... one by one.
A delightful route through lovely villages and hamlets, going at our own pace with route sheets and arriving at a well staffed and stocked eatery the name of which escapes me (It was Rascal's Cafe. Ed.) for refreshments.
Suitably fed and watered we enjoyed a spirited second half in the company of Brian Walker and his beautiful Comet, arriving back at Marston's Club for 'tea and medals', or more accurately, a smashing spread and the all important Award presentation.
Truly a fabulous event with something for everyone, at a good venue and which is suitable for any motorcycle and rider combination...the distribution of awards reflected the amount of Oriental machines taking part but I do believe Mike Walker and Sam Walker upheld the honour of the British and Italian motorcycle participants. (We do love and encourage the older British bikes too. Ed.)

Well done the Burton Section, we are already looking forward to next year.... (Sunday, May 10th, 2026.)

Kate Wain ... big red Guzzi.
