I got up this morning and had withdrawal symptoms from bikes, beer and gammon (and sticky toffee pudding - sorry Tony) and having done two meetings in succession in the rain, I wondered if people would be up for a meet in Europe next year?

If we went somewhere like the black forest it is not too far and yet central for the south of france, Switzerland, Italy, eastern Europe etc. Those of us wanting a longer holiday could go further afield either before or after.

Any thoughts?



Thanks, neil

sounds great neil , makes sense to head south, only criteria for me would be, i have to go during the school holidays

guy that test rode before me dropped it , my test ride delayed for a week and he was out of pocket by 900 quid , think he settled cash , but the excess for me was 1500

thanks mate

short commings for me were engine noise at tickover and low speed were very excessive the bike is also long and heavy at low speed im 18 stone & short legged and i didn't feel comfortable  in between traffic , i'm no born again biker and have been riding constantly for the last 35 years i feel this bike would suit the long american highways friends of mine felt uncomfortable on the bike too
