Hi Charlie........i'll be there......although i promise not to break out in chorus with that song on the day.
Also managed to change my shifts at work, good news. Wont be to much help on the day as i'm a mechanical numpty, although i have now mastered the art of taking rear wheels off
perhaps i could stand around looking sauve and supervise cake eating.
Are we under cover or should we bring brollies.
Who else is still coming ???

You will be taking your bike to bits under the close supervision of a Feinmechaniker, adding wires, light and switch and then, (hopefully) put it all back together.
It's only clockwork and electro-trickery nowt to 'em. Suck, Squeeze, Bang and Blow is what makes them go, with a bit of igniferous vapours.

I'm sure you lot are aware of my collision with a taxi.
I guess the bike won't be rideable, even if I get it back in time.
Shame really, there's gonna be a shit load to do on her.
Anyone know if I'll get a report from the engineer and will it include a fork inspection?

True, but he'll look busy doing it !
He'll be late anyway, he's on a VN800 fitted with a dyslexic Sat Nav
Sorry Steve mate, but it is true....ish !
Did a Google on the postcode and it points to T.J. May & Sons, Blacklow Brow

I'm using Zumo 660 sat nav. I got fed up stopping to look at maps. Look out for silver 900 02 plate, silver tank cover, two up, yellow sashes, being ridden by an old bearded codger in dark silver helmet.
See you there 09:00 hrs
(there will be a little bag of bits in my topbox for you !)

er not been up there before, so we are staying somewhere near J21 in a hotel overnight on the Friday and meeting with wilsey at the Burtonwood services M62 sat morning, my satnav says 6.5 miles from hotel to services M62, so we will start from hotel J21 at about 8:30, just to be on time, which lets me have a bacon butty.
Maybe we all meet at Burtonwood for 09:00 hrs ?
