Having passed my test in '76, without any training, I got the chance to do a bikesafe course, last year. Roadcraft is pretty much the bible and I was given a copy. I agree with QB on the way it is written but the content is good for newbies and old farts alike.

Yep it is, raised £100,000 in the first two years (don't yet know about this year). Why not on a 636 ? Been done on all makes and styles of bike, Goldwing trikes to a C90.

Yep one great ride. Winners for 2010 Furthest travelled - Ivan Cullum - 380 miles (Probus, Cornwall) Oldest rider - Dusty Saunders - age 66 Youngest rider - Guy Nevison - age 23 Youngest participant - Charlotte Gibbons - age 14 Oldest bike - Leonard Jubb - 1979 BMW R100RT Smallest capacity bike - Matt Humphries - Honda C90 Cub Anyone else up for it ? RBLR1000 2012, Friday 22 June to Sunday 24 June 2012 Squires, Sherburn in Elmet

Well happy to go with this, as I find most Police will take conditions into account as long as you are not taking the piss (100mph +)

A few stats, for those interested 254 people entered including 21 pillion passengers Before the start there were 11 cancellations (includes 2 pillions) We had 51 no-shows (7 more pillions) 192 participants crossed the start line, that's 180 bikes because 12 of those had passengers During the event we had 8 that didn't come back; 4 had mechanical problems' 2 had punctures, 1 had a family problem and 1 accident From the remaining 172 bikes, all less 4 came back in under 24 hours The 180 bikes that left used all 4 routes, but the north was definitely more popular than the south. 161 bikes went north, only 19 went south.

Oye Como Va - Santana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpPb2cVswlI OK pushing my luck with the link a bit (maybe return to previous title) worth it just to listen to it again

How would I know Speedo hasn't worked for years Not had a ticket for 9yrs so I guess that makes me 85 all the time. (I don't think so)

Well done Guy, I know just how you feel And just think how Matt feels, he was the guy who rode the C90, I believe he finished in the time too Welcome to the IBA.

Sadly funds won't allow me to attend. But I will be there in sprit. This sort of rubbish was stopped in '88 (Riders Rights Day) when Bottomley tried to introduce it, let's hope it is halted again. I may disagree with you on many things Ricky, but on this you have my wholehearted support.

Anyone going to be at the Boring Old Farts - Whistle In The Wind Rally this weekend ? You may catch me at or near The Legion stand, I'll be the ugly twat with a beard & 2 Poppies in his hat.

Short of a lottery win I won't be attending as I have an RBLR fundraiser the week before and the RBLR National rally the week after. It's a shame, the Bands are great too.

This should be a cracking rally. Great entertainment and all for a good cause. Some rally staff may also be known to some of you. https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=220595377967676
