My thoughts are with his friends and family, such a sad loss.

Bang on

A49 for me...........maybe!

Mine is a 2003 model and now has 40k on the clock Handles indecently well for a big tourer and munches up the miles Did a two up, 9 country in 17 day tour in 2012,racking up 3650 miles. Never missed a beat. If anyone knows my partner, we do not travel light either. Would I buy another........No, because I have no intention of selling mine. Even thought the new one is £1500 cheaper than the outgoing model, I would still need to find another £10k to change and cannot see the point. I have a top box and panniers, heated grips, radiator protector, fender extender and a baglux tankbag system, all fitted by the original owner who racked up a staggering 14k in five years. The only downside is making sure the driveshaft and suspension linkage are regularly greased as a failure of the latter can have you in the ditch. The old girl is rock steady up to 130 two up and ready to tour.(allegedly!!) If you are in the market for a tourer, well worth considering.[album]46[/album]

I am going to find a local Travelodge / b and b

Lynne and I will be in attendance but not camping.

My latest album is by Public Service Broadcasting........the previous one was making waves by Focus.

3675 miles....17 days..... 9 countries.......end of!

Absolute classic......would make a great sit com.

Gonna have to be a no this time I am afraid ...........myself and my significant other will be on the way back from Italy on the bike. Part of our six country Euro trip!

I will be at Hartshead Moor

Was nice to meet Derek and his better half

Brilliant piccies I would say........I used to fund raise for the museum before it started and often had the Quadrant in the van along with all sorts of British exotica!.........Slippery Sam being one. Happy days.

Well done Guy, fabulous job!

Sounds liuke a good day out peeps!
