It is central, the national track is bloody good, it also allows restricted licences too...

Was great to meet you all and put faces to names.. some great bikes out and the pictures came out great!

Thanks very much Matt for a lovely breakfast bap and was nice to meet your family..

:plus:

Managed to get myself a picture with the bike and 2 MCN models which will be uploaded soon.. werent as blessed as my mrs though :smile:

As some of you may know.. I had a little eletrcial problem as we were leaving Cosford which I thought had been fixed with some duct tape...

About 80 miles into the return trip, travelling in the fast lane 3 figures electrics cut out back wheel locked up and a huge flame shot out the back.. clutch in over to the hard shoulder...

This was repeated for the next 70 or so miles but at slower speeds.. note to self - double check electrics :whistle:

Also found out that my reserve gets me about 15miles! as I ran on fumes to the petrol station...

All in all great day be good to have another meet soon.. maybe further south? :grin:

Fingers almost dropped off this morning - had to imagine I was holding hot coals :lol:

Thanks very much for sticking with me Teddy - hope you enjoyed the BK :lol:

:rocks:

Good to meet everyone today after many years lurking on the forums past and present. Hope you all made it back safe and warm.

A special mention to the guys from the south who travelled many hours through the rain and also the Irish boys who made the trip across and gave good banter.

Hope to meet up again - in the meantime, here are the pics! Have large format in case anyone wants for calendar/screen etc. Drop me a line.

Paul

I know mate, was pretty bad.. I was shitting bricks considering it was getting dark.. doh!

Think its a couple of wires around the fuel tap.. maybe some fuel leaked onto them and messed it up somehow..

Will be taking it apart tomorrow.
