Hi Brad,

Loads of us just down the road from Colchester in Chelmsford, and dotted around Essex, so you should come along to one of our pub nights!

yep I will come down am away this month in france but hopefully im back for that monday I think that will be the week I have off so sounds like a plan, and as for the track day Im definately up for that but which bike to bring? maybe the Lambretta ?

and as for 748s anyone tell me how the power delivery should be, I think its me not being use to it but 1st gear is crap once Im in second it takes of like a rocket from about 25mph, but im loving the 748 ill get some pics on over the weekend!

and this weekend Im just going to be scrubbing my rubber if the weather is good and if anyone else is riding let me know it get's dangerous on your own need someone to round me up and show me some good roads!

thanks again all you seem like a friendly bunch
