30th April 2017.
First year I've bought a pass and I am actually off work and able to partake!
All in aid of West Mids Air Ambulance - still really gets me why Air Ambulances are charities! 
Never done a major rally / run before, should be interesting! Thousand or so bikes on a 23 mile run!   
Finish is at RAF Cosford, great day out just for the planes and war-mongery on show!
If anyone else is heading over perhaps with prior notice could get a meet-up together?

Its a great run and a great day out. I'm unable to go this year but two years ago I was riding one of the blood bikes from Devon that were invited to head the ride. Mark Hayes and Steve Harris MBE had invited us. The run that year was led by Foggy, Richard Hammond and Simon Le Bon but the stars of the day were definately the two Emergency Bikers who spent most of the day being photographed.
Brillliant atmosphere so have a great day.

Thanks Mo, it's just down the road from me so really looking forward to it!
Hope you're still healing well and the new ride is putting the smiles in the miles!

Not too bad Dick, Thanks. These old bones of mine still know they were in the wars and the shoulder is probably as good as it will get but still riding and although I miss the GTR the Honda is definately making life easier. Anyway, I will stick around here and will be attending the meet in July with Syd. Will just have to hide the bike 

All the best

Yes, i'll be going. Went last year on my VStrom and had a brilliant day. Toseland was there and his band were a lot better than expected.
