Thanks for the advice fozzie , I Hope that you will not mind a newbie tagging along

Other than the bike any other goodies / Mods i need to get started ?
No problem mate.

Everyone is welcome to tag along mate!

Loads of mods and extras that are good to have...not all essential.

One thing I would definitely recommend is a crash helmet. Yes you will look like an idiot but after my last big off when I landed on my head and also I done my ribs, I actually snapped my crash hat in 3 places and the Doc at the hospital said that without it I would have had heavy head trauma, possibly fatal!

So no matter how much of a **** I look I don't leave home without it!

Don't think I could last a whole day out with Fozzie, but if there is a 'Lardy Oldtimers' group at the back, i'll join you.

We need to reduce the weight of the TA car and Driver - so maybe Mike should join in!

I'll be up and ready for it very soon, just looking for a roof rack for the Scoob so I can take it further afield (plus I can drive along side everyone and say I took my bike ), haven't got another car and theres no way it's going to fit in Dani's Ka(K) even with the seats down!

Although it might be a little while before I can come out and play as I'll be down A&E later tonight as I think I've broken my toe whilst playing squash with Mr Beale yesterday, wasn't feeling too bad earlier, but now I'm at work it hurts like hell

Wish I could, but driving and working round London tonight which involves a fair bit of walking (I should have gone sick, but thought it was ok) didn't feel too bad this afternoon but had it elevated all day with a bag of frozen peas on it for about 5 hours, but now I'm using it, it's really starting to hurt.
Just going to call the London hospitals now to see if they have an A&E, oh what joy! 6 hour wait, here I come

Thanks for the advice Mrs B4
