It's been suggested that we have a meet between those in the north and those in the south of the country. As such I'm planning on organising a 125 friendly run from Squires to The Vic in Coalville and need peoples views.   In order to make it realistic for those in the south this run would have to be to The Vic or somewhere similarly far south.  This would result in a round trip of around 200 miles, which with a non-motorway route is liable to be in the order of three hours travelling each way with one stop half way.   What are peoples thoughts?                                                                                                                                                                             

I'd be up for it Geoff                                                                                                                                                                                

  One stop?!!  *gulp* glad I don't still have my 125 lol   (how much are incontinence kecks these days?)                                                                                                                                                                               

270 mile round trip from North Kent... on the motorways 

Out of the question for me for the foreseeable unfortunately... no wages, no benefits, very little sparkly income... I can't pay my bills & debts, let alone afford the petrol to travel that far!

Hope you get a good turn-out - it's a great idea Geoff
                                                                                                                                                                             

Geoff you are a star, always putting yourself out to organise runs,giving all us newbies the benefit of your knowledge and experience, dont know how you cope and stay calm whilst shepherding a bunch over overexcited loons halfway across the country but always love to come on a rideout with everyone, wouldnt have a clue of where to start planning it so many many thanks to you and roachy and i would love to come!
