| Well, why don't we organise a rideout AT the BMF show where we all meet up and sort things out face to face. |

I've just noticed that Honda Owners Club is associated with BMF.
Excellent.
Jules and I are planning on making it to BMF if only because its five minutes into Peterborough and I can always find a place to stay overnight... |

Hi ya Starbucks,
Take it real, real easy and dont let anyone tell you there is any such thing as wearing too much protective gear...
I've been really lucky this week in not losing my kneecaps - the rest of me has fully armoured protection and that was only a 40mph lowside.
While I was at BMF I got pin holed by a company that specialises in supported tours of Europe. Looks worth checking out, at least until you have a couple of seasons under your belt, maybe even then.

Nope not me, I don't live in the midlands anymore... and i can't find a replacement exhaust for the bike anywhere.... although a full stainless for £600 sounds mighty tempting, I just can't justify it |
