I'm am hoping to be there, working motor permitting of course!! And if anyone has a spare frame I have a largely complete M1 that I would like to maybe have a bit more of a fettle with and give a go!! I was planning on swapping them over on the saturday night but having done it at the weekend and it took about 6 hours, I won't be doing that.... Think I am gonna have to bite the bullet and bin this carb for a vhsh though as its really starting to do my head in now..... What event you setting yours up for then Tony?

I'll be going Tony, Taking SS90 Falc which Col has agreed to ride at the event and Group 4 Lammy which our team mechanic Lloyd Walker has agreed to ride, should be fun Hope the organising is better than the hand bag swinging between 100mph club and straightliners

I wouldn't mind coming up. Unfortunately, I won't be able to ride my scoot as I have a really bad neck. However, if someone is passing near Bath, I'm more than happy to share fuel costs.

I believe the post on scooterotica is by straightliners mark. So all good.

Well, whoever is organising it this year, they need to put proper signs for direction of the airfield up as last year I was driving round for an hour on the country lanes only to turn into the airfield museum again before giving up and going home and realising there was an event on, no signs whatsoever indicating this the tossers, I was fuckin livid ;D just a simple sign at the gate saying SPRINT MEET THIS WAY ;D ;D
