Bike Night – “They knew what they were doing”

Thursday evening – most of the day had been cold and wet, but by seven o’clock it had become warm and dry, the sun shining. Hundreds of motorcycles were on display at the Bike Night, with newcomers arriving all the time, holding up pedestrians as they roared into the car park. I walked up and down the rows of bikes – Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda. A slight breeze propelled wave upon wave of exhaust fumes over the assembly (the smell was not unpleasant). The sound of hundreds of motorcycle enthusiasts, and the roaring of the motor bikes, almost drowned out the local music station playing heavy metal music (at full blast). Among all the macho swaggering and mechanical mutual admiration were two young women (Julia and Clare) – identical twins with wavy blonde hair and blue eyes, their slim figures enveloped and accentuated by their leathers (“they knew what they were doing” said Winnie Parry when she saw the photos of the pair, her Welsh voice having a condemnatory tone as if she was looking at something indecent).
