I can bite everyone too. Prefer giving cuddles myself.

We were up there for a week a fortnight back, not one midge bite and probably only saw 5 the whole time! Brilliant holiday

The problem with organizing such a thing is getting enough people together to be able to take over an entire group/session from a trackday organizer, hence I suggested it might be possible to combine it with the AR.
That way people who might not be inclined to shell out to travel miles just for a trackday might be tempted if it was linked in with a social event as well. Doing the trackday wouldn't be compulsory, just an option. Anyone else on here old enough to remember the Performance Bike magazine "Frenzy" events at Cadwell Park in the 90's, they were a complete riot!
The AR does not have to involve a track for some twerp on an R1 knocking someone off as Scoobs proved

Errr.....oops!

Wales would be a good call. Maybe I could ride it this time instead of twerping the R1.
