We go up there once a year. And Shazz's father drags me down the Alma on Leeds Road. He's been drinking in there for nearly 40 years plus years! Normally get thrown out at about 2am! They live about a 1 - 2 miles from Ducati Leeds, which is always a walk down the canel, past Alan Jefferies then on down to Ducati Leeds every Saturday morning we're there. Might ring them about prices on the S4R, John there (think it's John) told me at easter he would better any deal offered, and deliver foc. They get a good words from here as well, and from experiance as well their great. Took the 748 up there in 2003, and had electric problems, and they fitted me in there and then on the day i was leaving, and did not charge me the earth to sort it either. Anyway, I love Whitby, always go there on Good Friday.

Rambling mode off!

peolpe would pay good money for that.....Fil2 being one of them I think:frog:

complete offence taken.......more than harsh!!:pig: border line out of order:yawn:

Sorry lad i got better things to do with my money....:P

As one of the RO's OOp North I hope there is life North of Watford gap.

The demands on time and money limit how much of each you spend on what is a pretty selfish hobby.

We try to organise allsorts of stuff up here, rideouts both local and to other regions meet ups, rides to race meets, nights out, trackdays and so on. Between zero and a dozen or so turn out. I would love to do more but I'm pretty much in the position of most up here, family in tow, luckily reasonably into bikes, and loads of other stuff that takes up time.

Some other regions do seem to get out more as they say.

Personally I have ridden all over the country to do track days, up to Croft as far South as Goodwood and across to Oulton. Been to the BMF once but would love to go again some time. Been on the legendary DSC trip to Misano in 2001 amongst others. I want to do more, a trip to the IOM on the Duke and take it down the the South of France but time/Money does limit what you can do in any one year.

With me RO hat on,
This club does get you out more as they say and just as importantly you can pretty much rely on someone helping you out in all sorts of situations. That's what makes it worth paying the money every year, you put something and you get something back......with interest.

Gill,Phil, Azzy and myself all made the trip down to the flatlands to uphold NW honour.

Great time whilst there and an absolutely brilliant ride down as well. We even managed to avoid the rain both ways on Fri & Sunday which was a miracle considering the monsoon and hailstones on Saturday.
