Well with the impending demise of Portimao, it's time to look at who's making this trip. As the time ticks on and the small groups are in place, we're going to need some people to throw in a yes/no i think so we can confirm to Alan.

Tis a no from me, got something else family wide on that weekend now.

It could be a maybe from me - but with one proviso.
I have a track day on the 21st June with the Diavel at Brands. I need to see how that goes first.

Don't fancy Wales on the old speed triple - and the 1200 Scrambler on the track is a bit pointless

Yes

Consider it done

To anyone considering this now, if your name isn't down, it really needs to be. Because of the group sizes there are only so many spaces Alan can hold for us and we're up around that limit now.

Alan will closer to the time release a private link for us to be able to pay directly. I'll take care of Trinitys place, Alan will take care of Doccas place. The rest of you, i'm afraid have to fun your own places

So I think I’m unfortunately a no!

I wanted to get my suspension sorted, which was going to be a big enough job, but now looks like i’m going to have to remove the carbs etc as well!! They’re all blocked up and need cleaning.

All of this for my very limited spannering skills (and very limited budget this year) are probably a step too far at the moment! So, the Fazer will have to wait until later this, or next year I think

Give it to a local bike mechanic, sorted and ready for August

I would, but unfortunately that’s where the very limited budget steps in! COVID (and falling through every single hole in the governments support packages) hasn’t been particularly kind to the wife being a self employed contractor.

Don’t think she’d be overly happy at me spending a load on the, bike and a trackday?

Still, we’re still here and healthy, that’s the main thing.

Yeah, following my retirement i set up as self employed at the start of 2020. As a result i dont qualify for anything despite my industry being shut down for months by the government and losing thousands. Apparently i "might" be allowed to apply for something in April based on my 2020 tax return but as i was only 3 months into my new business venture i wont be holding my breath.

I know i am fortunate that my pension has covered some of my costs but watching the numbers drop month after month instead of going up and knowing you cant claim anything despite paying in all your life is a bit of a pisser

Fitted lever protector this morning.
Check that lever doesn't foul with guard.
Add washers until it doesn't.
Done.

Right then children.... Some questions then.

1. Anyone else coming to play ?
2. Anyone who's on the list now who isn't coming any more ?
3. Anyone who thinks they SHOULD be on the list but are not ?
4. Anyone wanting to pay now ? or looking to wait a little while longer yet ?

I need to get my leathers out the bag from my last track day 7 or so years ago they’re probably green with mould and a few sizes to small.
I would like to but still undecided because a long way to go and fail noise testing, full Akrapovic on 790 duke and possibly new leathers expense.

Not this year unfortunately, I’ve a few big house bills looming.

No worries fellas.

I should be in the Saturday wobblers list mate
