Shakey is definately up for this .... I've done the trip to the National Motorcycle Museum on my 23 year old CBR1kF-j twice last year from Ooop Norf and it ran like a dream It just eats those miles up for fun!

Had a quick chat with the museum today on the blower .... they have over 800 parking spaces available, so shouldn't be an issue at any time. If we can get a large enough guaranteed number attending, they would even section off a special area so we can all park up together.

The museum is simply amazing if your into old bikes and motorcycle history and the cafe does superb breakfasts for hungry travellers.

I'm in! .... Can't wait!


Link to the museum for anyone who fancys a look....

It's right next door to the NEC

 

Come on matey... come and join in the fun!

Just dip the oil and kick the tyres before you leave!

 

I'll second that Steve.
Z, 200 miles will do nothing except put a big ole' grin on ya Phisog.
Check water, tyres, oil, lube the chain, clean her up a bit and jump aboard.

Shakey,
thanks for the research, contact with the museum and link to their site. I've never been so it would be of real interest for me and no doubt everyone else that decides to come along.
I'm thinking a few PM's to some of our UK members might help kindle some more responses.
I must see if Hawkwind is up for it.
I'll start pencilling in some dates for consideration, sooner rather than later.

 

And the prices they charge for hand luggage on the airlines these days.....

Life's a bitch ain't it?

 

you guys have to officially designate this the CBRFUK-UP 2011

1: i dont have any work comitments on said date/s
2: HenryM buys me a full english breakfast

Beer only I'm afraid. That means we have to find a hotel to trash too.
Somewhere not more than a sweet , twisty jaunt away from the museum.
Now come damn it! No know you wanna!

 

Nice! If only we could get a mod to alter the thread title.
Mods? can you amend as per addy's suggestion? Pretty please?????

 

How about Saturday 16th April. This seems a pretty neutral weekend.
Throw in your hats/keys/excuses.
