Manc - if you want to stay off the motorway, you can just stay on the A5 all the way to Hinkley, then the A47 towards Liecester and you go right past the turning for Mallory...

Too busy hang out at Bar Italia and looking kool - eh?

If I'm riding up (with Flip), then we'll be going a little further west via Windsor, Oxford and Banbury - a great ride in itself - so you are welcome to hook up with us, however, I might be trailering my bike up (shock horror!) along with the XR as I want go on to Wales after the track day...

I'll let you know...

I'll be going up in the car and I'm pretty sure that Gary T will be going up on his bike now that I've let him down on the trailer front. :lol: I did give him a laugh though as I thought I would be organised for once and went and booked a room ready for the big day - except I booked it for Tuesday evening - don't ask.

Anyway Craigie, no lift back in the van this year (it is no more) but I guess I'll either see you there, at the Burger King/Golden Arches somewhere on the M1 or being passed en-route while I sit in traffic.

You know where to find me if you need any help,

best regards

I'll be riding up now, as I can't get the Monny on the trailer without taking chunks out of the bellypan (or buying a longer loading ramp, for a trailer which isn't mine)...

Flip will be coming up too from the south (any others btw?) - but not leaving until lunchtime... still we could all hook up aroung 2.30pm Windsor/Maidenhead and go the nice way?
