| Well I'll look at a date in August so as to give everyone a bit of notice. Might see if any of the Muppets would like to come along. If any of you don't mind? |

What's the Garlic Festival, Bob
I will be at Alton on Wednesday, looking forward to it, I will Tmax it down, although this is breaking a simple rule of mine, one up, I use the X9, it has a radio to listen to, and less wind buffetting. 2 up, I use the Tmax, Linda considers it nearly as good as a Pan-European for comfort, in fact she nearly had a nap on the back on last Saturday's ride to 'Miss Moppitts' High Class Tea Shop in Appledore. |

What age/model T-Max did you get, Dave?
I'll no doubt set eyes upon it on Wednesday anyway but just curious for now.  |

I went in to buy a new 2008 model in black, which arrived the week before and needed the PDI done on it. I said nothing at at time, but went back to buy it later in the week.
It had been sold in that short space of time, but as I was leaving the salesman told me of the part exchange Tmax on that deal. A 2007 (07) 11,000 Silver one, fully loaded with most extras for £4500. So I took a chance and brought that one unseen, (I part-ex the BMW scarver on the deal) I have known the mechanic for 10+ years and the bike was given the 12000 mile service early, including Belt, all filters and rear tyre.
So far so good, thanks for asking, see you Wednesday. |

| Is Wednesday still viable as it's supposed to be raining all week in this neck of the woods? I don't fancy 140 miles in wet windy conditions just for the sake of it. |

Sorry guys, I'm crying off this one. BBC weather for the week ahead forecasts heavy persistent rain on Wednesday.
