Rivvy Barn.

That's a place I used to go to a lot in the early eighties. Back then my bike friends were sort of split into two factions. The cafe racers on RD250s and Kawasaki triples, Rickman Hondas, Dunstall Suzukis and a few exotic Ducatis and Laverdas. The other lot were the greasy biker types who rode a chopped mish-mash of bikes and generally big, loud anti-social rigs that were more about cruising around than riding fast. No Harleys but lots of Il4 Hondas and Kawasakis with extended forks, high bars and German cross mirrors. On the far extremes there was a bit of liaison with Satan Slaves if I remember right. And it was with them I used to go to Rivington barn back in the day.
