Totally agree Reg - not only was it good to have a proper natter, but also have something to 'do' (ie visit the museum) whilst we were.

I think as we all seemed to hint at, it's a shame that the NMM is for British bikes only - yes it's billed as the 'National Motorcycle Museum' but it'd be great to have a section for foreign stuff too.

Yes. Excellent visit and good to see everyone. We must do it more often, and yes Ned your avatar does you proud!!

As for the museum. fantastic place with some real iconic bikes on display, but from a history lesson point of view it kind of fizzles out towards the mid 1970s, with just a few modern Triumphs bringing the collection up to date

Must get round to sorting the pics out
