I have just received an invitation to Bowers Motorcycles (the Yamaha dealer in Bury) 80th Birthday Bash on the 5th April.
The guest of honor is some chap called James Toseland and there will be free hot drinks (very generous) all day. Plus various reps to sweet talk for freebies.
If any one fancies a look but does not know the area I will post directions.


Also JG and I have tweaked the route a little and I will post an updated map later, if any one would like a copy of the route for TomTom PM me your e-mail and I will send you a copy.

mmm.

Does this mean then instead of a runout, we are likely to be just wandering around a dealership? JT was at Taz in Peterborough last week, and the place was heaving. Nice guy an all that, but ........

or are you just letting peeps know?


I'm only asking, cos a couple of times I've been on runs with other bikes, at the last minute some "celeb" has put in an appearance somewhere, and everyone trouped off there to see the "celeb" and the run on the bikes has just not happened. One or two peeps (usually the ones organising the run) want to rub shoulders, have photos taken etc etc etc and before you know it "oh, its getting a bit late for a run, lets stay here and play at being bikers. Oh honey, did you lock the car?"


Apologies if all you're doing is passing on info, but if the route changes means we are gonna spend most of the day wandering around at a dealership, then I won't be going. Stopping for free coffee is one thing, wasting a day isn't.

or have I completely misunderstood your post?

Mike.

Wrong end of stick firmly grasped Stormy!
I have no intention of going any where near Bowers on the 5th but I thought I would let folks know so the have the option to go along, if that's what floats their boat. We should be done in plenty of time for any one who so desires to head back to Bury, its less than 1/2 hour from Red Lodge to Bury.
The route change is just to change a possibly congested, 30 limit infested B road to a more flowing A road

Landy, did you get a chance to pop into the Cafe at the Lorry park to warn them of their impending doom?

No problem if you didn't!

Any chance you could post the route on here so we could have a look.

Sorry you won't be joining us Avonne, maybe next time? Have a Bl**dy good time away.

I think I have converted successfully from Autoroute to Garmin mps but I can not test it. PM me your e-mail and I will send you a copy. I used a free program called gpsbabel which looks quite useful.
