mikestrivens Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 I’d go but I don’t have a bow tie or pipe Quote
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 How was it? Did you have a good time? Did you wear tweed?!I nearly went but I’m just not sociable enough! Quote
Bianco2564 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Posted September 30, 2018 How was it? Did you have a good time? Did you wear tweed?!I nearly went but I’m just not sociable enough! Sure did, had a great time if a little cold.3 piece suits are not very thermally efficientThere were 170 or so bikes, apparently raised about £14k between us.No tweed, surprisingly expensive to buy it, I bought a 3 piece suit off ebay last year for £15.Bought an open face helmet this year to fit in a bit more, not sure I like the experience of being hit in the face by insects and leaves at 50mph.Did about 50 miles in total on the RGV, ran perfectly.
