I've got me two suitable "Classic & vintage style motorcycles" and a silly open face helmet, I just need a tweed jacket and maybe a monocle!

[Rockburner]

That's my birthday.
Maybe i should take part this year
..... Hmmmm

[KungFooBob]

I've not done it before, I've never had a suitable bike. I think Nidge does it.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Day before my wedding anniversary.

Really want to do it on the Bonneville, but I need to pull my finger out. Realisticialy I doubt I could get it back together and running well enough I'd be confident in an all-dayer on it in time.

My problem is I'm not sure a gentleman would ride a two stroke.

I do- or rather I have done for the last 6 years but unfortunately the new date clashes with the Kickback Custom Show I’ve already got tickets for

A water-cooled two stroke with deflector-top pistons might pass.

[Asian Boss]

Where is it? It seems to suggest it's everywhere and nowhere.

I could get all Kappa'd up and take the little XL.

Or start you own.

Hmm... wonder if I can get the 1980 CB250RS out?

Only if you wear spats over your boots.

I can probably source some sprats from Jamie the Fish Guy who delivers weekly.

Just in case anyone didn't know... (and I'm sure you all did...)

I'd go for the laugh but reckon I'd let the side down as I own nothing that looks remotely DGR friendly. And if I went out and bought some I'd probably be better off chucking that cash in the charity.

IME it's not strictly enforced, they do ask that those not dressed in the spirit of the event don't ride at the front so that the publicity pics are DGR friendly but other than that anyone can tag along (even if they don't publicly admit it)

It's the day after my birthday - not that I'll be doing it, not my idea of fun.

Ditto, plus you're riding with a bunch of people with widely differing experience of bikes. Not my idea of fun at all. Same reason I always drove to work on "ride your bike to work day". I'm real picky about who I ride with, there's a couple of local (former) ZRX owners who I refuse to share the road with. One dull fucker cut into a group ride on a freeway about 15ft in front of me where we're all doing about 90mph & promptly took his hand off the throttle to hold up his camera & take a pic looking back over his head. We had words at the next stop.

It's spread to over here
