Bentley in Suffolk, or Little Bentley/Great Bentley in Essex?
If the former - I didn't see you there! 
I guess that you went to the bike meeting in the Essex Bentley...

The big problem with that event is the police presence - every Wednesday there will be police with hand-held radar across every approach road to Great
Bentley.
On Wednesdays I always drive home very steadily from Manningtree as there will be one on duty one week in three somewhere on the A137, and
that's 10 or 15 miles from Gt Bentley!
When I last went there, I saw 3 or 4 bikers standing by their bikes, "helping the police with their enquiries". I was stopped once near
Brantham, but as I was driving my boring tin-top and only a bit over the limit I was let off with a warning.
