Paul! It was you that passed me just after I'd parked up the Inter in the same spot! Was yours the M reg bike? (Don't remember the other one,) nice tidy Diesels I thought, congratulations, although why don't you take the exhausts out the left and save all the extra plumbing?!! I spent my money in the jumble so didn't get a T shirt, shame. Well, nice to see your bike!
REgards, Mark

hi mark mine was a 06 plate it has no visible exhaust it terminates under the primary case,kevin,s bike was behind mine we were at the far end away from the entrance,the t shirt was £15 thats a bit salty for me ,i bought a patch £3 that was better and kevin spent nowt even more careful than me,just a thought i think you were lookin at kevin,s bike he has a full exhaust on ,his bike was the prototype for mine although there are some subtle differences between the 2 atb paul

Hi guys---------glad you made it on the day. Right now I'm I'm as green as an army bike with envy. Have ordered a new seal from our hosts----apparently it's just been processed-------- so back on the road soon, just in time for the rain-- that'll be different--not !! 150 mpg----wow, that's serious stuff. I was with you in spirit though. Cheers m'dears----

Hi Guy's,

I saw the one with the exhaust that exits on the right, but didn't spot the other one did you both arrive/leave together ?. I was interested as I'm currently acquiring the bits & pieces required in order to build one of my own. The donor bike is a 1990 350 bullet & I have a 10hp Suntom engine to fit, I attended the show on my Moto Guzzi mk1 LeMan which was on display near the main cafe entrance not far from the gold star owners club. It was the only mk1 LeMan there & it was pretty grubby as I had ridden it over from Suffolk the day before in the rain, I do like it to look clean & tidy but it's still a working bike if I fancy a ride out if you know what I mean.

Cheers, Gerry.
