At the moment this clashes with a works reunion from where I did my apprenticeship and worked until 1987.

A few years ago I'd have done both, ridden from Brighton, done the Pie & Mash, ridden to North Notts, done the reunion and ridden home again through the night. Doing something similar in 2012 almost f*cked me up completely so it's one or the other this time around.

Frankly I'd rather do the Pie & Mash Run at the moment but we'll see.

I'm definitely going to this one.

Thanks for the updates guys. Better start working out a route.

Managed my 20 min commute to work today, working a full day, riding for 40 minutes to physio... physio twisting me every which way for 30 minutes and riding 30 minutes home feeling ok... I will definitely be up for this ride

i would have loved to come on this ride.. unfortunately i was born on.. 20/09/1959 so its my 55 th b/day and my missus has plans for me that weekend.. all have a great day and fun riding

Mottza, blokes, sorry buddies, just can't come this time round. My bike is going to be off the road whilst I turbo it, fix the tranny bearing and have a front panel fixed too. It has a broken front legshield (not from a accident, just my stupidity). Not serious but I'm stripping the bike to take the aforesaid legshields into the workshop for abs welding and spraying. It'll be off the road for a week while I do all that. I've got bearings, seals and other parts, so it'll be time to roll up the sleeves and get stuck in.

Hope you all have a great time. I'll see you all on some other run outs hopefully. I've got the urge to wander big distances once the bike is back on the road.

turbo it data i know kawasaki are bringing back a new supercharged bike to the fold very soon.. worth the look to see what they do.

Do you plan a (very) early start or staying over the night before?

Early, early start as I'm working the day before, could possibly have a friend tag along but depends if he's sorted the clutch by then.

You sure. Its a good 6 hours here from where you are!

You staying somewhere overnight on the way back?
