Pete, if you ever decide to produce a book I will be 1st in line to buy.
Thank you for your write up.

[7th/8th June 2025]

Firstly, a sincere apology for throwing this out there and not being able to follow through with arranging something.

Try as I might, I have been unable to spot a clear weekend this summer due to other commitments and allowing for the fact many people would be taking their main holidays in July and August. I still find it incredible that now I am retired it is harder than ever to fit things in.

Let's make an effort to do something next year instead, provisionally 7th/8th June 2025, if anyone wants to pencil in in their diary.

I've only just managed to squeeze in a European trip this year, the panniers are all loaded, oil level and tyre pressures checked for departure to the Sauerland in the morning for 10 days of solo motorcycling. I'll let you know how it went in the usual manner when I return.

Stay safe.

Pete.

Hi Mick, yes still here (Occasionally  )

Hi All, it's been a while since I was last on here. I sold my GTR 2 years ago and bought a Ninja 1000SX - much more manoeuvrable but not the absolute mile cruncher that the GTR is (mine was sold to a friend).

Depending on details, I would be interested in a meet up.

Sorry to hear this Tony. Hope all will be sorted for you soon. Earlier this year I sold my (your) former GTR to a friend of mine who is now loving GTR life. I have moved to a Ninja 1000SX _ not quite the cruise missile that the GTR is on the motorway but it is more maneuverable around gravel car parks 

We use Cardo Packtalk Bold and I am able to run a charging cable and plug it in whilst riding. Having said that they hold a good charge anyway.

Well if I had known I would have ridden down to meet you 

It's a nice ride to Monmouth from here.

I'll endeavor to message you next time 

Happy New Year all. Hoping to get a few more miles in this year   
Time to the maps out

Well I ended up taking a little jaunt from Bristol up to Monmouth via the Wye valley for a coffee with my wife on her CB500X and my mate Chris on his F800. We took a relaxed approach and so about an hour each way and then a couple of hours washing the crap off the bike (it was worth it though) 

£123 inc broker fee with Grove & Dean comprehensive insurance (£350 compulsory and £100 voluntary excess) for the GTR

Thanks Steve for setting it up. I know that the Bristol contingent have thoroughly enjoyed our weekend (including the ride up through Noahs flood on Friday). Fantastic and new friends. Until the next one....

We are currently in Crianlarich. We'll be at the Green Welly for 10am if that is the general plan

Just to confirm that I have booked a table for me and my mate at the Ben More Lodge for the Friday evening but have left Saturday and Sunday open. I would like to add my thanks to Steve for his efforts in arranging this get together and look forward to seeing you all in just over 2 weeks.  

Hello Mick from a gloriously sunny Bristol

it's worked out well for Kaoko as I have ordered a new one after failing to secure yours on ebay.
