Just wondering who is going. I will be setting out from Leicester about 7:30-8:00 on Saturday. Going down the A43 refueling at the services on the A43/M40 junction. Probably on the Bike.

Who else is going?

Me and Ceri (my wife who puts up with my rants on the subject but takes more interest now the FiL has been Nipped :) ) are marshalling at Membury and then joining in from there.

Car has posters already - hopefully people may see them before and take an interest.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Gizmo,

'Er-indoors and I am going too... We've just seen the forcast for the day set to be in the 20's and we're taking the bike!... I've decided; "Yes dear, I know it's a long way for your inexperienced tender arse but you'll thank me for it in the long run!"

What bike are you taking Gizmo?

Dave

I'll be coming from near Peterborough. Down the A1 then M25 to the M4 most probably, although the M25 to M4 is usually plagued with queues (ironic really).

My missus has stolen my Mondeo for the weekend to go get the tracking and wheel balancing done so I'm no longer bringing that and will be in my Nissan 200SX sporting a protest banner and perhaps a few ABD ones...depending what I can knock out on my inkjet printer and sensibly affix to my car without blocking visibility etc.

I'm looking forward to it.

It would be good if the bikes could congregate somewhere.

Maybe you could consider congregating at Chieveley services (J13, at the A34)? That way even if there's no room at Membury you'd be a "critical mass" :)

Mrs Patch will be there on a cruiser with a sidecar attached qwith the baby Patch's in it, I'll be on a VFR in Castrol colours, and probably with a group of other VFR's with at least one being ridden by a serving traffic officer :D

Have a Tshirt made to go over the leathers with the Logo Front and back

I'm still toying with the idea, but my good lady isn't quite of the protesting genre.
Might be able to leave her with her college work and hop on the bike though :twisted:

I am coming on my Honda CBF600 it is egg shell blue and with have 18 stone of “Big Boned” bloke on it and probably a large black bag fixed to the pillion seat.

Now if some one sets a place for all us bikes to meet up that would be cool.

Blimey, the car park doesn't look very big judging from that photo.

Anyway, I'll try and be there, if I can wake up early enough.
