Dear Jasper.......I'm sorry to hear that "just another Duke rideout" will not fulfill your wishes.
I hope you enjoy your run out in the rarefied atmosphere you so obviously breathe, what with you being so exclusive....... :P

Anyway, I think we'll all be busy washing our hair on that day.......

[Jasper]

Rushjob,if that is how my posts have come across,i apologise.I was not in anyway shape or form implying that a general gathering was "below me".Anybody that knows me,will vouch for the fact that i am quite the opposite.I did not mean to offend.By exclusive i meant special,because it's not happenend before and is probably unlikely to happen again!As i am not organising it,who the hell am i to say who can and can't come?

i will be happy whatever the outcome.Can i use a UJM on the Ducati only TD?No?I'll stick with the 888 then!!

..Dont be fooled rushjob..I know him and he he is right up his own ****...

On a serious note Jasper is right...we dont consider ourselves 'special'..but weve been talking about doing this for some time - I for one make no apologies for wanting a specialised meet as we will almost certainly attend other rideouts anyway..

Cheers
Nat

Yeah, I can see the point of having a T8 special, but do we really want to meet up somewhere and show off our bikes just to ourselves?

Surely, we'd want to show 'em off to any Duke lover who'd want to see a whole group of em together?

Whatever happens, I'll show up so that you guys can remember what a standard Srada looks like

How about a T8 meet up and then ride to the NW Region Mega meet on the 30th April, it would be good see a load of T8's arriving together.

I'd be up for a look out - so long as I can everything bolted together in time...

[Jasper]

thanks Nat,if i'm ever in court remind me not to call you as a character witness!!

Fippin' heck! 90 miles and you need a B&B?

Time to buy a gold wing mate

Id rather buy a Smart car er perhaps not!!!!!!

When your built like a Gibbon like me trying to squeeze 35 inside leg and twizzles arms I can assure you after 90 odd miles I want to get off,
the bloody things designed for blastin round 15 laps of a track not taking some overwieght giraffe touring.

The posts are going off subject already guys... let's keep to the agenda, and discuss what's a top idea.
888's only to meet up somewhere central, BUT to then later on incorporate another meet of some kind so others can enjoy looking at them. Plus spanning a weekend is a good idea. B+B/beer/full English. Gotta be fun!
