Just got home from the Ace Cafe seeing Pupster off. Took my 350 into work today (that caused a few comments) just so I could head straight to Ace.
Good luck to the 3 of you I would love to do the trip on my BMW or Pan but would have to think twice about using the MT. I have however discovered the MT is great in traffic being much lighter than my usual bikes I was doing the twist and go shuffle!
Pupster if you read this before you finally get home do not forget to let me know where you will be in Stoke Mandeville and I will try to get there to see you back.

Just as I left a MT 500 arrived so there are at least 2 of us in the London area.

I wasn't there, but ToySoldier was (he hasn't got an MT yet) and sent me this pic:




Good luck on the trip mate
