Anyway, enough of Paul's dribblings, the poor old sod. He needs to get out more methinx.
Richard and I will be meeting Zapo at the OK Diner near the Toyota factory - A38 South DE65 6GY about 8.30 - 9am for a brekky and some of their super coffee, then on to the NMC Museum near Brum - B92 0EJ.
Should be there 10ish and it looks like a good set of interests will be seen all for NOWT!!!
Might even take some dosh and attempt (not too hard mind) to spend some.

More info on the first post of this fred. Anyone sees an Orange 750B Hippo and a (Honda) Pan on the M1 in the morning, it's us.

Been and returned! Had a good (but cold) day with a bit of rain chucked in for good measure. Kept dry by decent bike kit of course.
Lots of nice machinery and some old British stuff too - that 'Honda 6' of Millyard's sounds really well - I remember Hailwood's real Honda 6 in 1968 at Oulton sounding better though during my 'first' bike race meeting. He won of course......
Brekky and late lunch at the OK Diner was good and although he got the money out, Zapo didn't actually let go of it to pay, so Richard and me sprung for his coffees all day. :roll: :lol:
Met up with some others at the show and a good time was had by all.
Them's didn't go missed a good run out. About 190 miles round trip and 41.55MPG mainly at 'motorway speeds' or thereabouts :roll: gave decent economy on the Hippo, doubtless Richard's Pan did a lot better with the big fairing and more economical V4 engine.

I could tell that it was going to be my lucky day as soon as I stepped out the house.
The car was covered in ice but I didn't have to scrape it because I went on the bike :tw
Then Richard brought me a coffee at the services (and not for the first time).
Then later, Alan brought me two more. :D
And Richard let me Road test his spare gloves- much warmer than mine.
And another bonus when I went the wrong way at the last roundabout as neither of them took the urine :roll:
Enjoyed listening to the Honda 6 that Alan mentioned. Very loud. And it amused me to see the bloke next to me who covered his ears and yet was wearing hearing aids :?
Anyway,, it's a tropical 8 degrees today so I'm off out for a bit more punishment - Alan if I see you in Matlock Bath today I will buy you a coffee, or two. :D
I had two stroke's and survived.
