Hi guys

Not been to one of your meets but I'd like to tag along if you'll have me. May be able to convince a mate along on his 900 (after all, I managed to convice him to buy a TDM), if that's OK.

Cheers

Daniel

You'd be welcome Daniel. If I remember correctly, you're not that far away from me, so we could meet up and ride down to Bury in our own little group (ahhh!)

Coolio! Indeedy I'm in Yarmouth, so we can trundle down the A143 in some sort of tiny convoy!

I'm looking forward to it, should be a laff, and be good to put faces to names.

Might be a "Stormy +1" if Andrea can get over for the weekend.

Also, if I can get both the TRX and the TDM with the right engines in the right bikes before then, we may bring both.
