[Englishman]

Use your loaf, throw a sickie

[namtip]

I'm coming! I'll be on the MT and travelling up with Englishman and Tone.

[Englishman]

Well done Colin we have nearly got a convoy

[Bunker]

Dont forget, bring your own plates, bowls, sporks etc - you will be doing your own washing up and no more landfill crockery

[Derrick]

This is a good opportuntiy to pick the brains and skills of some for the people most knowledgable and experienced on MTs, 350's and 500's.

If anyone is prepared to run a tutorial session, whether related to general servicing, typical road side repairs or something more major, please do let us know. If you have something you would like to be demonstrated, let us know in advance as it will help to see if it can be arranged.

Some also use the opportunity to carry out work on their bike, with the support of other members and the likes of LMS and Force to fall back on for spares. I'm sure many will remember the rear wheel removal and replacement job undertaken last year.

[Priest]

With everybody there , I don't suppose a completed rebuild, paint job and engine overhaul would be too much to ask ??????

[Priest]

I would of course accept full sponsorship from LMS, Force and other associated organisations in order to facilitate said undertaking

Well volunteered Priest. Can I suggest you strip down the MT on Saturday morning, paint Saturday afternoon and back together on Sunday Might have to leave the engine until next year.

Engine strip down would be interesting, I wonder if Minter has anything he can show us, maybe some of the bits that have worn or broken. Few have seen the inside of a Rotax other than in photos.

I'd be happy to run a tutorial if you like.. Ive plenty of engines that could be stripped to show the internals etc. Just let me know and i'll see if i can come up with something..
