Noisy bikers descend on the usually peaceful village of Kisszékely

Kisszékely was taken over a few weeks ago by the annual motorbike rally around the village. All ages took part and everyone had a lot of fun. A campsite was set up next to the swimming pool and a marquee was erected for refreshments.

If you like motorbikes then you will LOVE this post!

Every July many bikers gather in the village of Kisszékely to have a generally rowdy fun weekend. They ride through the village beeping their horns, shouting and waving at the spectators en route.

This particular year there were more bikes than usual, the good weather lifting everyone’s spirits.

There were a wide variety of bikes, quads, scooters and dirt bikes. This bike reminded me of a “Chopper bicycle” popular in the 70’s and 80’s!

Our village is a dead end, so the bikers turned at the end of the village and returned back up to the village green and campsite.

They passed our house twice so if I missed them going down I could catch them coming back.

This young man seemed to be having a problem with his bike, embarrassingly for him, he broke down in front of me and my camera!! Finally, he rejoined the rally.

You will notice that many of the participants, including children did not wear helmets.

These two are friends of ours….pay attention Atilla!!

The rally stretched out as the slower bikes took their time. The youngsters riding solo were closely followed by their parents.

On the way back to the campsite, past the church and village pub, a topless biker enjoyed the blazing heat!

This was my “Photo of The Day” Can’t beat a beer swilling, cig smoking trio of ageing bikers….with a rather ageing bike and sidecar.

This sensible parent made sure his son had his helmet on…although I do believe it is a cycle helmet.

This is the turn into the campsite. As the bikers noisily came down the hill there was lots of skidding and smoking tyres, showing off to the spectators and photographers no doubt.

The bikers had come the night before to set up their camping gear.

Many brought tents and set up camp under the shade of the big trees.

This was an opportunity to admire other people’s bikes and chat “biker talk”.

….even if you had just been for a dip in the pool.

This is our village pool, a beautiful pool open for the duration of the summer months. Very well used at events like this.

Time for sunbathing or just relaxing in the early evening sun.

There were certainly some AMAZING bikes to look at. As I walked around with my camera, the bikers were obviously very proud of them.

I particularly liked this BMW side car along with several other people.

These next 3 bikes were pretty impressive too, and worthy of photos.

Finally, this is a short clip of the bikers passing me and giving me camera shake as they revved past me!!

Do you like motorbikes, or own a bike? Does your local village/town hold rallies like this? I would be interested to hear in the comments.
