Hi Clive, I'm on hols at the moment so will phone when I get back.

I'll prob turn up on the Fri about the same time as you. You bringing a marquee or some sort of cover?

Good call re levelling chocks, I'll need some for my trailer.

Anyone know what the road bike scrutineering is like? My 500 isn't going to be done in time so it'll have to be my regular 400 rat bike. It might raise an eyebrow or two.

For road bikes they just have to be roadworthy as for an MOT.
It’s not too bad.
For race bikes it’s to normal ACU standards.
Basically if your bike won’t pass it should not be on the road anyway!

Dammit. Maybe if I tell them for what it lacks in fork oil, brakes, chain guard, silencing and wheel bearings I make up for in riding ability so one cancels the other out.

Medium for me, on Sunday.

VMCC initially suggested Veteran but then had to check whether that referred to the bike or me, cheeky blighters!

Two things ...

Anyone from the greater Bolton area going in a car/van? I've got a couple of fuel tanks ready for me up there and I'm hoping someone could bring them down for me, save me a long drive. Happy to contribute to travel costs! Got an unused Kawa T shirt free to anyone that can help!

Secondly, I've got a couple of spare sets of Kawa coloured leathers I can bring along for anyone that needs them. One fits me (I'm 5'10"" tall with a 42-44 chest) and the other is vintage 70s Frank Thomas with Kawa logo, suits someone much smaller than me, perhaps a 38 chest?

Oh, and I plan to arrive on the Friday p.m.

Thanks

Stephen

I have received mine today.
Have sessions 4, 15 & 21 on the Saturday so its looks as if we do not have a triples session by the comments so far.
Is it that the replacement organiser there was not aware? Even if we could not fill a session it would be nice if we were all together.
I wonder if it is too late to query this?
