A few of us will also be there and meeting up in West London (somewhere near J2 of the M40) and riding across.
Where abouts are you meeting at 8:45 ?.

Few of us coming down from the Midlands, looks like it should be a cracking day for it.

Good stuff. Just a few of us meeting at Polish war memorial on the A40 at 8.45 am then riding up to mill hill to meet a dozen or so. Feel free to join us. Done it before, it’s a blast 💨💨. Let me know if you fancy it and I can send you my number.
Cheers 🍺

Cool, it’s all little roads. It’s not anything like London especially on a Sunday morning. Greenford roundabout, Sudbury Hill, Kenton lane, back roads up to the. A1 junction then along to the petrol station. Will be wicked trust me 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Few of us coming down from the Midlands, looks like it should be a cracking day for it. You chaps from the midlands looking to get the 'longest distance traveled' trophy?  I use to live 11 miles from the Ace, I'm now just over the 100 mile mark, I already have plans for this Sunday but would like to make it down one day,....just don't know how I'd cope with the prolonged vibration through the bars, making my hands go numb and the general seating/cramped position of the bike,....got any tips on how you cope or maybe you don't have these issues in the first place?? I've owned full blown touring bikes for years now so any other type of bike just isn't the tool for the job I guess. |

I've owned full blown touring bikes for years now so any other type of bike just isn't the tool for the job I guess. My 350LC is still poorly and my 500 does my knees in on longer trips, thou ill ride it for a couple of hours as a result I shall be on my 4 stroke tomorrow, it isnt that far, depending on which route we take, ive been down on my LC plenty of times, most recently in May this year(last time it ran properly!) I personally find my 350LC one of the most comfortable bikes ive even ridden , nowt thru the bars much in the way of vibes on mine and plenty of legroom, check you have the engine damping washers fitted and the other engine dampers are in good condition would be my advice. Ive found comfort is very much a personal thing, what works for one person , doesn't for another, one of the lads we are going down with tomorrow is taking his X7, he is 6'3" and prefers doing distance work on the X7 over his 1200 Suzuki Bandit! |

Thanks for the tips but I'm pretty sure it's just me, I'm just highly sensitive to vibrations it would seem, most bikes make my hands tingle/go numb in no time, doesn't matter if it's a V twin, v four, or in-line. One of the better bikes I had were a Goldwing, even so, my hands would feel it after a few hours on the motorway,....that had a flat 6 which is probably the smoothest engine there is. |

Did you all have a good time? Any pictures or video clips to share?? Had a great morning. Weather, brilliant. I went with my son Paul, met loads of people and friends. The triple ran really well. Spent most of the time chatting to CBM (Chris).
Paul took a few pictures, I'll post up when I get a chance .
Cheers, Mark

So many fab bikes that we didn't take pictures of. Great to chat to my mates Chris CBM, Lee (on his Jota), Gary on a rare Malaguti (only one in the country - I cant remember the model  ) Karl, Slabsideian (Ian), and so many more
Brilliant day
