  1. Me and nman1 looking to run up from Brampton, Huntingdon on Friday 8th August - Overnight in the Penrith area then Sat doing a few rides in the North-East lakes (calling in at the Kirkstone Pass Inn for lunch) - Overnight in the Ambleside area then down to Blackpool (NM wishes to do 'The Big One' :puke: ) - Overnight Blackpool then back (cross country) to Brampton on the 8th.


    Would love to meet up with any 'Locals' in the area during that weekend, both in the Lakes and at Blackpool. :wave:


    Also, any tips on accomodation - Looks like the YHA at Ambleside and a 'Biker B&B' in Blackpool. :?:


    :cheers:

  2. Fitted a 'standard' one on my first 1200 Bandit - No problems but had to fill it regularly.


    Got a 'Touring' resovoir type (fits behind numberplate) on new Bandit 1250 - Looks like I'll get a full year without refil. Oh, this was a 'freebee' extra negotiated when I ordered the bike. :) :) :).


    Whatever & however, got to be worth the money unless you do the chain lube every trip :sad:

  3. nman1, cheers for the offer of the floor, but I am what I suppose you would call a fussy sleeper. Need a room and bathroom to myself and a good bed to sleep in.

     

     

    You are welcome to kip down at my place (YES I AM NOW GOIBG TO JOIN YOU ALL :D :D :D :D ) in Brampton - 'Real' Bed 8) - Interested? :?:
