British Goldwing Treffen 2004.
The 2004 British Goldwing Treffen was held in Ardingly, England from August 25th-30th. The weather was a mixed bag of rain and sun this year but the attendance numbers were as big as ever.

On the way south for our annual pilgrimage to the UK Treffen, to have a bit of fun and get shiny bits for the Goldwings as well.
Some of the sights at the Treffen. Lots of Goldwing trikes this year. Two bike weddings as well this year.
The usual vendors tempting us with shiny bits, leather etc. Colin Appleyards are very popular with the Irish visitors. They do their best to give us a good deal and they are all friendly and like to chat, and of course that makes all the difference. Mick Wilson is impressed by the trike!
Nick Fowler was a new addition to the vendors this year. Nick does gold plating and lots of people queued up to have their GL1800 rocker cover trims (and other bits) plated. The cost of plating the rocker trim was only one-third of the price of buying the Honda items. Nick also attended the Irish Treffen in Limerick this year. Some examples above of Nicks work that he actually did at the UK Treffen this year.
Some shots above from the lights parade. This year I didn't use the flash on the camera so as to try and capture the lights more than the actual bike details.
One of the Prosign guys doing his thing. They always draw an audience while they work.
