Just out of curiosity (in case I get to watch my buddies at the Mallory TD the day before) does anyone know of bike-friendly (re: secure) B&B near JHP or Mallory by any chance?

Cheers - Frank

Frank,

I can recomend a place in my village, Swinford in Leicestershire, if that is close enough for you. I am about 18 miles from Mallory and the same from JHP. The village is very close to the motorway so pretty convenient with a good pub. Secure parking in my garage if they don't have any.

Here is the link anyway. Its called Ravendale.

I can't get there either...too much to do, so little time.

Still, I'm sure that you won't miss a humble Strada amongst all the SP's, but I want pictures, reports and lots of 'em.

Sadly due to illness I can't come either. I was looking forward to meet some British 888 riders. Now I have to wait for other chance
Hope it was a nice day for all of you

Cheers

It was a great day thanks, the sun shone, the bikes looked lovely-there were several comments about never having seen so many 888's in one place.
Oh, I nearly forgot, and John Hackett handed out ear plugs all round and fired up the DesmoSedici...................

Great to see everyone there-and no politics.

Great day !! And nice to put a few faces to my fellow 888 owners !!!

Big thanks to Rob for sorting it, John Hackett for hosting it (nice pizza and fresh coffee !), and the big man upstairs for bringing the sun out !!!

Great seeing the 'sedici being fired up (cant believe someone has actually BOUGHT that - exactly how it finished last seasons race at Motegi !!!) and fascinating listening to John on how it rode round Mallory !!!

Some flash harry SP4 owner will be along shortly to tell you about John Hackett giving him a corse fleece for best bike - lol !! Congrats mate ;>)

Small moment on the way back down the (empty) fosse way - gave it a right handful to clear the cobwebs and my ruddy satnav came off the bracket !!! Luckily it wedged in front of the instruments so no harm done.

See you all soon

Nat

Another set of thanks to Rob for organising it and for John Hackett for his generous hospitality. I'm not sure if John got a lot of sales out of the day but he certainly got a room full of smiles when he started the 990. If he'd revved it any higher I think those fairings hung from the ceiling would have blown off their hangers!
