Poole's tourism division come in for criticism from time to time, but a little while ago they came up with a winner - Bike Night. Bike nights happen on Poole Quay on a Tuesday evening. The Quay is closed to all traffic except motor bikes and for a pound a head, any biker can roar down the main drag and park their machine in as prominent a position as possible, hoping to attract the attention of the judging committee who decide on the 'Bike of the Night'. Tuesday 21st April being a beautiful evening, the event attracted more than a thousand bikes, of every size, shape and description. Although this is a 'Blog', only a few photos can capture the essence...

| A mantra for our times... |
 |
| Thirsty work riding those machines |
 |
| Meanwhile all is tranquil in fisherman's dock |
 |
| Last week's 'Bike of the Night', the NSU Quickly, made between 1953 and 1962 |
 |
| Could this be a lady's model - one careful lady owner? |
 |
| Owned by The Axeman |
 |
| Is it a man, is it a plane, is it a Porsche? No it's a motor cycle (I think) |
 |
| I'm not sure about this one... |
 |
| Wow! |
 |
| A touch of classic class - I don't know it's age but the company finished production in 1955 |
 |
| Another Classic |
 |
| The Kaskelot, a classic 3 masted barque |
That's all folks!
