The nearest legs of my tour to the Lake District are Stranraer to Workington and then Workington to Lytham St.Annes.  Do you think for one minute I would neglect to pass some time by Wastwater opposite the screes and then the scenic route to Ambleside on my way down to the Fylde?  You and others would be most welcome. Its a long way off yet but I am working on the rideout routes, publicity and communications.  Cheers

Well as it happens I am planning a UK tour for the RNLI in the summer of 2014 and will encourage local bikers to tag along on one/some of my day trips as I progress round the country from St.Mary's IoS up the east coast as far as Lerwick and then down the west coast including, Stornaway, Skye, Mull, Arran and of course a hoon round the TT course, Angelesey, South Wales and home to Cornwall. I will publish the details in due course and would welcome support for the RNLI as I travel round. Equally I will respond to the charity efforts of others in the future on my three wheels.  Cheers.

Something similar but of course attached on the near side so no need to swap exhaust around! Not certain about front forks yet but read "leading links" are prefered. Also have yet to purchase my next bike and many thanks for the welcome to the forum.

Hi Olde Coney

Many thanks for taking the time to reply - comments appreciated.  PL13 2JS is my postcode for 6 months ( UK summer ) and then summer again in NZ!

I am planning to return to the world of bikes after a 46year break! I seek a shaft driven , comfortable, multicylinder, well protected ( fairing/screen) bike and no doubt a number will agree that a GTR fits the bill so far. I have yet to decide between the EZS rally or a Watsonian GL 700 but has anyone used the Kawasaki for an outfit? Yes I know it was designed as a solo sports tourer  OK!  Cheers
