Bit of info for those concerned

The Royal Venue has a dress code which does not allow jeans or trainers

Me,it will be a pair of slacks[Chinos] and a casual shirt

If this doesn't suit everybody shout up now and we can look for someplace else for the night out

Not a problem, I'll go shopping!

Duck Man - wanna meet up at a pub somewhere halfway one night and pour over an atlas to finalise the route down to Blackpool?

Hey colinbal4,

Yeah sounds like a plan :D

When and where is good for you?

Cheers

Duckman

Duckman - Give me a call and we'll sort something out. I'll PM you a number.

Looks good! I'll print out some colour maps and bring them with me on the day, I'll stick in some regrouping points in case we get split up.

Sorry its a bit rough :oops:

Trying to do it at (cough looks over shoulder) work.

I will look at a map tonight and right down clear instructions so we (hopefully) dont get lost :D

I have been looking at the map/streetmap and there isn't any place where we could meet up, as it will be getting dark shortly after 4:00pm perhaps we should try to rendevous outside the hotel at 4:00pm. Can one of you confirm that this is ok? I will be leaving here at 10:00am and allowing for a few stops for hot drinks/eats incase it turns cold,so that gives me 6hours to get there

My route will be direct as possible
A120-M11-A14-M6-M6Toll-M6-M55-A583

LOOKING FORWARD TO A GOOD WEEKEND :wink:

Hey up!

Can you tell us where the B&B is? Post code wise? So we know where it is?

I don't have a problem meeting there at 4ish :D

I do have a problem with my bike! :x I had a new back tyre put on it a week ago last Friday and my mechanic told me that the spacers where missing from the rear wheel and as a consequence the bearings where grinding themselves up! Not good! So he order the parts from Suzuki and said they would be about a week! It has been just over a week and no sign of parts! :(

I also havnt had a chance to scrub the tyre in either (think my bike is a lil upset about nit being used cause i started her up no probs then turn her off went to put the cover on, put my hand under the exhaust and burnt my arm real bad! :( oops)

If i don't get the parts, the bike should not really be ridden (especially on such a long journey)

Sorry guys but if it ain't fixed by end of the week i cant go!

justmacsv650 if this is the case and i cant make it! PM ur address and i will refund the money for the B&B sorry!
