Likewise Richard, great day.

Look forward to seeing you guys in Hawes, here`s hoping the weather is the same as today!

Thanks Richard for suggesting what turned out to be a great few hours with some old & new friends.We must do it more often.

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.

Good to meet you guys and put faces to some of the names that I've been reading about on the forum over the years,
Hope weather is as good for you in Hawes.

Good to meet you too Ned - and now I've done so, I can see your avatar is a remarkable likeness.

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

Great to meet you guys and thanks to Gromit for organising. It was really enjoyable meeting up and having a chat. Here's a couple of photos I took.
