Unfortunately my particular example is still with Road & Race Performance waiting for its Dyno assessment, so I will be on the Speedtriple, I've been past this place loads of times but Ive never ventured in because I've read so many conflicting reports concerning the welcome that awaits . Maybe the bad reviews are from car drivers but I understand that you may or may not be charged just for parking depending on whether your vehicle is deemed to be interesting or not .

You have to pre-book a 3 hour slot & pay on certain days it’s £5 for a bike & you get £2:50 off food or drink (£10 for a car). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that . When I've been I avoid weekends and tend to go early. Otherwise it can be carnage and people riding/driving silly on the local roads close to the venue which is a shame for the locals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Endless round of hospital visits I think. Grandson is doing really well and will be out soon. Mother isn't and is fading. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy sugger Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Nasty accident on way over to St Neots, looks like a bike and winnibago had a coming together. Enough people there for me not to get involved (trained first aider and first responder trained) so carried on for my brekkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I shall be traveling to various towers to raise the Union Flag to full mast for the Accession, then back to half mast tomorrow morning. Plus a wedding. And my wife is entering a Bakewell tart in our village show. I have been eating the various trial bakes so my riding jeans have mysteriously shrunk this week. And lunch with our younger daughter who expecting our second grandchild in November. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
