Wonderful, I can swing round by Catfield on the way Stu if its any help, are you anywhere near Haines Marine? How much thickness you got to play with on the discs Gazza, enough to true the worst one up?

Mr Gazza

They are 3.99mm...Not sure if they can be skimmed though.

Minimum thickness according to my manual is 3.6mm so enough to play with, interesting though that I ignored your advice for MOT and went somewhere local thinking it would get a cursory once over and not be hauled about on the side stand ( which it didn't,
they had a shaped block for the sump and jacked it up ) but two of them were all over it like a rash and about the only thing that they left out was miking the discs, got a clean bill of health with an advisory on the noise level, no sense of humour some people but at least I'm satisfied that shes in good order. Ta for pm, anyone else fancy a ride out?

That went well...:biggrin:

A very pleasant meeting with Stuart and Steve. Good to meet you both, I am sure we will go far.

I had forgotten what a nice little spot Ranworth is....You can see the boats go by, you can hear the river answer.

Here is the record of our first Norfolk meet this year.
Stevie's Sparkling M900ie Metallic, Stuart's 600 with matching red Mudguard and hugger...Sounds good too.
I'm not parked in line on account of the pile of dog eggs.

Re the radar run.

The only date available is june 14th as the museum only opens on the second Saturday of each month. Opening times are 10am to 5pm.
Guided tours lasting an hour and a half start every half hour from 10.30. (Highly recommended.) Last tour starts at 3pm.

I was planning to meet at North Walsham town clock for what I think is about a fifty mile run. I seem to remember it taking about 40 minutes when i tried it out last year on a beautiful evening.

Just debating with myself what a good starting time at Walsham would be. i'm thinking meet at 10.30, aim to pick up the 11.30 tour and then have some lunch at the museum....Any preferences??
There is loads of the museum to see that is not on the tour, so we could browse that for a bit, then go our seperate ways or ride on to somewhere else.?

Your thoughts please.

10.30 at the clock sounds good to me, will probably do the tour and lunch then head off.
Apparently I have a hedge that requires severe cutting, hadn't noticed it myself obviously not obstructing the garage door Atb Steve
