You can borrow one of mine if we can figure out insurance no worries.

I don't know when yet, I'll add an update when they set a date.

I'm insured on any bike (3rd party of course) as the zx6 is fully insured. But honestly, that far, I can ride it over if needed.

Some of old duffers should stay away. They might think we're residents :obscene-birdiedoublered:

I don't think 'forever' is how they work ;)

Anyway, although it's walking distance from here, I don't think they'll want me 'walting' around in bike gear and helmet - but no bike.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

Newbury isn't too far away from me. I might come along if the weather is acceptable.

Thanks for posting this Dern. As I don't do facebook I would be grateful if you would keep us posted for any changes.

If the ZX6 has an MOT on it by then, I'll pop down for a bit.

Nice idea. I'd probably have come along, were it not the fact that there's a family birthday do that day.

Turned out to be a happy little event with a very wide range of two and three wheelers. Credit and congratulations to the organizers.
