Sadly, not likely at the moment. That could conceivably change, but I won't know till towards the end of next week, so will be a last minute thing if I can make it. Interested to hear location and timing which doesn't seem to have materialised yet.

Checked my dates and with the wife, I can make the 17th with a meet up at the museum unless a member down my way would like to meet up on route.
If we pre-book for a group of 10+ we get a discount of a fiver, making the entrance fee just £10.

Hi Doctor T cannot commit at the moment as might be busy one day that weekend. Depending on date and destination when finalised, If I am available would be happy to meet on route. Portsmouth based.

The National Motorcycle Museum is not too far from me, I'm booked onto the Blood Bikes for a shift on the 18th but could meet up for a few hours on the 17th.

Morning all

So thank you for the input everyone. Looking at this thread, Saturday the 17th looks to be the best day to meet up.
A mid way point is going to be the "The National Motorcycle Museum". Will work out a meeting time now.

@ Doctor T and BoB21, I can meet up with you on the M5 just pass Bristol if you want. maybe J14 ?

Sorry you cant make it David, maybe next time.

So who is the most northen member now who wants to meet up. As this may change the meeting place to make it fair to everyone with how far they have to come.

Doc & BoB are the most South.

That would put over 30 mins of motorway on our travel time so would not work for me. Like ive said will not know if available (may have to collect brother from airport) but if works for you Dr T im more than happy to ride up alone.

lol actually Fareham but always say Portsmouth as everyone thinks Farnham.

As far as meeting place goes im not fussed but Dr T did say he was interested in Motorcycle museum. But also thinking of your health and distance you are comfortable riding.
