Small chance I will, mainly because of other plans.

Moreover, there's now your Brexit : probably long waiting queues at the ferries to be expected (I think I'll at least first have a look at what this results into) ? And as I'm not riding my K1300S any longer, I may feel a little more "outsider" also because of that   :)

Since we're voluntarily riding German bikes, I would expect all members to be pro-Europe. I'll park it there, in case Rae shoots me for disturbing the thread.  :-X
Would be good to see you if you can make it over.

Do we have to hand 'em in if we ever leave the EU? I mean, not very British is it.   :)

Well, better than nothing : you'd still have Triumph. Makes me think of this (images of a trip I did in 2016 in Wales and the Peak District)

(I myself, on the contrary, would have to do it with Flandria - a bicycle brand, IF it's still around...)

I believe we have to rename them to AMW, Alsatian Motoren Werke.

I hope you can make it Sudo, and you never know, bikes might get a fast track at the borders :P.

Good news Ady, good to have you onboard. The Hippodrome March would be a good place to meet as we are stopping for coffee there and makes less of a moving target timewise. I'll update post #1

I (and my friend Terry) have booked.  Looking forward to joining you all in June.

As the group grows in size it becomes increasingly more difficult to keep it together. We may have to employ the Marker / Second Man Drop Off System, which is explained here

Slow riders control the speed of the group and fast riders get to mark most of the corners.
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
