Thanks to everyone who attended the first Breakfast Meet of the 2026 season. Perfect weather conditions ensured a good turnout. There was 18 Moto Guzzis, 2 Buells, 1 Ducati and 1 Indian.

It was good to meet up with people who we’d not seen since the end of September. There was the usual good selection of Guzzi models spanning many decades, including a brand new 1-day old red V7 Sport showing just 125 miles.

Jack, who also owns a 1125R, arrived on his 8,800-mile XB12Ss Lightning Long. (Images 5 & 6)

The white 20,000-mile XB12SX Lightning City X is owned by local East Yorkshire rider Matt, and this was his first visit to one of these meets. (Images 3 & 4)

The Ducati 900SS belongs to Andy who regularly attends these meets on his Moto Guzzi 1000SP. He’s owned this Ducati for 45 years and has recently put it back on the road after a 10-year lay-up. (Images 11 & 12) 

On the way back home on Saturday afternoon near Holtby on the A166 south of Stamford Bridge we passed an orange framed Buell M2 Cyclone parked on the opposite side of the road which had an AA van in attendance. We’re not sure if the rider was making his/her way to Fridaythorpe but if you’re reading this, we hope it wasn’t anything major.

Thanks to everyone who attended the second Breakfast Meet of the 2026 season. We thought attendance might have been affected by the half term holiday period, but this meet attracted one of the highest turnouts with 27 Moto Guzzis, 1 Buell, 1 Benelli and 1 Indian.

Local rider Nigel arrived on his immaculate 17,000-mile 1200 Norge. He’s the second owner and was lucky to find such a well looked after machine. (Images 31 & 32)

The Buell XB12s is owned by John. He’s had it for 19 years and it’s covered just 5,300 miles. It’s one of the best examples of this model we’ve seen in a long while. John also owns a Triumph Tiger which he uses for touring duties. (Images 28 & 45)  

Brian, who also owns a Buell 1125CR, brought his 1976 Benelli 750 six cylinder to the meet. This well used machine has covered approximately 95,000 miles in total. (Images 49 to 52)

The 12,000-mile 1978 Le Mans MK1 has been owned from new by Mick. Apart from a replacement tachometer, this rare, unmolested machine is completely standard. (Images 57, 58 & 59)  

Andy, who brought his Ducati 900SS to the last meet in April, arrived on his 1000SP which had recently clocked up 100,000 miles. (Image 55) 

Saturday 27th June - images 60 to 75. 

Thanks to everyone who attended the third Breakfast Meet of the 2026 season. A few regulars couldn’t attend but there was still a decent turnout with 18 Moto Guzzis, 1 BSA and 1 Royal Enfield. These meets continue to attract new attendees; there’s always new people to talk to.     

Guzzi owner Dave brought his 1954 650cc BSA A10 to the meet because his 1000SP based special was having some work carried out on the engine. He bought the A10 in 1972 for just £10 and it’s still in regular use with a host of updates and modifications during his 54 years of ownership. (Images 62 & 63) 

Jane’s 2006 Breva 750 continues to be ultra reliable. It’s now covered an incredible 160,560 miles. My 2005 Breva V1100 is slowly catching up and now shows 122,189 miles. (Image 60)  

Saturday 29th August - images 90 to 107.

Thanks to everyone who attended the penultimate Breakfast Meet of the 2026 season. Considering it was a Bank Holiday weekend and there was rain in the forecast, it was a good turnout with 14 Moto Guzzis and 2 Buells.

There were also 2 Kawasaki 750 3-cylinder models, one of which was ridden by a Guzzi owner. (Image 94)

John from Washington arrived on his 10,000-mile XB9SX. He’s recently re-commissioned this Buell which was laid up for 12 years. John also attended the Buell meet in Jedburgh on Sunday 12th July. (Images 97 & 98)

The Buell XB12s (Images 99 & 100) is owned by John, who attended the Breakfast Meet in May (Images 28 & 45). John has recently completed a 25-night tour to visit the Nordkapp in Norway on his Triumph Tiger with a group of friends.

These meets continue to attract new attendees; there’s always different machines to look at and new people to meet.
