don't know if the weather is looking good or not, but as i don't get out last weekend, maybe this could be a good meet for a ride to the hendon bikesafe show.

Was thinking in going, but don't want to ride there on my own.

To scared :smt116............ not!!. just thought I'd see if anyone was going from thames valley area.

Is it not a good idea going to this as it's run by the feds?

From what i've heard they don't care about stuff like that. Although all it takes is one nob-end.

I just have an unhealthy distrust of the police. :D

Went to one last year in gloucester. There were loads of illegal bits on bikes and no one seemed to care. Was actually pretty good. they had loads of stalls selling the usual bits and bobs, and a wicked trials bike display - some very impressive skills. I didn't go on an observed ride cos I didn't have time but ITS FREE too so all in a ll not a bad day TBH. There were a lot of police bikes about, but most were on ride outs and not bothering with all the other bikes. I could be up for it on sunday if that is the general consensus and the weather looks OK...I'll keep an eye here to see who is going.

Bikesafe/TV ride/kitebuggy ???
The only thing I am certain of is if it's pi55ing down none of them will be happening for me (maybe)

i think I'm gonna opt for the TV ride, as 1) its close to my house and 2) I have missed the last few so need to ut in an appearence. Sorry Bad-SV, but i'm sure you'll have a good day. The bloomin weather is actually OK here today, stupid BBC grrrr

It's OK at the moment but give it a couple of hours and I reckon it is going to be miserable as sin.

i'm going from Brackley around 10am. towards Aylesbury/ a41 / Watford.
Then should be at hendon off the A5 within 1 hour or so.

If you want to ride along, we're properly gonna stop in Aylesbury for fuel.
