It's been suggested that we have a meet between those in the north and those in the south of the country. As such I'm planning on organising a 125 friendly run from Squires to The Vic in Coalville and need peoples views. In order to make it realistic for those in the south this run would have to be to The Vic or somewhere similarly far south. This would result in a round trip of around 200 miles, which with a non-motorway route is liable to be in the order of three hours travelling each way with one stop half way. What are peoples thoughts?

270 mile round trip from North Kent... on the motorways

Out of the question for me for the foreseeable unfortunately... no wages, no benefits, very little sparkly income... I can't pay my bills & debts, let alone afford the petrol to travel that far!

Hope you get a good turn-out - it's a great idea Geoff

Ian is taking the orders for bickies not me ... as we not far from his house As I said if my clutch lever doesnt ease off ... or my hand get stronger I will be looking for a pilly, thats if we go as it will depend on things already booked with either Ian, myself or both of us, and as at this moment Geoff is just sounding out how many are interested its still an unknown.
