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?

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.

24-10-06, 02:33 PM

Sorry its a bit rough

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

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

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

I do have a problem with my bike!

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!
