I'm not liking how all but one of the things you mentioned were done with me... I'm not a bad influence, honest.

And I've just had my first physio session on my left arm/wrist after my accident (already had many on the shoulder so know roughly what's going on there) and she scowled at the idea of me getting back on a bike full stop, but that's more because "bikes are bad" in her words.

Anyway, I'm a definite maybe for this trip. Didn't want to say anything until I knew how things were going with my recovery but I'm now expressing interest, just need to decide on what bike to get!

Don't think so. To be honest it's still over in Nottingham (I really do need to go collect it at some point now I'm able to) so not been properly looked at. From initial observations it should be fine to go back on the road once it's fixed up (stuff like the forks, radiator, rear subframe, etc.). Will obviously get the frame and everything else properly checked out though. I may get rid of it as it or fix it up to use on the track if I can do it cheap enough. But I was already looking at new bikes before this (had a 2 day test ride on a GSX-R750 the weekend after my accident I may have bought, that obviously didn't happen!).

Just had a look through this thread and cannot see a definite date yet, except the one in the poll. Is this the weekend we are going and what dates are we booking ferries for?

Apologies if I've missed something....

It's as the poll finished and decided, the end of April date ( Thursday 26th - Monday 30th)

I'll investigate ferry prices ASAP then we can decide whether to book before or just after Xmas.

I've had an email off ferrysavers today so followed the link for the dates we are going, the sleeper seats are full on outbound and inbound already !!

We need to book this ASAP IMO as it's a bank holiday weekend so will sell out quick I think.

I'll post up some details later.
