Just spoke with Malc at M F N It appears that he will only leave MFN in a coffin! With that in mind the venue is booked for the 26 - 28th June for the 33rd (?) (help me out Hal) Annual Kawasaki Triples Rally - Malc is trying to get last years excellent band back for the bash Thumbs Up

The first rally was 1983 Thumbs Up (although we did have a meet up at a Santa Pod RWYB in '82).
So that indeed makes it our 33rd rally.

Well, Obviously, I was :roll: And, being the sad bustard that I am , I recognise the NWA plate to the right as Dave Edmondsons H2a with J&R's and CMA mag wheels . . . Later to become the "DucatiSaki" - I will work on the other bikes in the picture :smt001

You going over via Hull Rotterdam?
If so the police breathalysed every biker as they got off the ferry in 2012, I assume this is a common thing every year

Ten Years bloody hell JP where has that gone!! In fact where has this bloody year gone?

Well I haven't been to the original Northern Rally for at least 4 years, I was going to come on my ZRX1100 this year but since that's now a thing of the past due to Fucking White Van Fucking Man & Im still in plaster I shall drive up Friday & sleep in the car Thumbs Up

Look forward to seeing all you Norvvan Monkey's soon!

I feel like Cinderella
2 months ago we where taken over by a bigger company (I deliver beer for a small wholesalers) we are on a 6 month trial to see if they are keeping our depot open

but I digress, we had a stupid and obviously illegal holiday system where as you could only take your holidays in weekly chunks and weekends off well you had to have a very good reason

well new firm new rules
I have booked the whole weekend off :D
Sadly Jo can't come with me :(
but the plus side I get to ride to the rally and I get to camp :D

see you all there, even if it's pissing down,oh and I won't be on my H2 either (gasp shock horror) :lol:

see you all there
