    The way I read it is that he needs a Triumph in his life.:cool: This is a good thing!:)

    However, it would appear that he loves us and cannot stay away:eek:! This is not such a good thing!:oops: Worrying and scary are two words that spring to mind!!:(

    Or perhaps I am just plain old wrong .... again!:p

    Both, to be honest. The Tiger 800 is a great bike and the new Speed Twin sounds like an absolute peach of a thing without being tooooo dear.

    As far as I'm concerned you're in if you want to be - add your details to the list.

    OK,I'll start the ball rolling.
    Suggested dates.
    1.28th/29th May,Monday the 30th is a Bank holiday
    2.4th/5th June
    Personally I won't be able to go much later than that as we go away on 14th June.Though I could go earlier.

    Suggested venue's
    Buxton,largish town with a few pub and eating places.
    Ashbourne,never been
    Any other places in the Peak District?

    Not sure about accommodation,is everyone OK with B&B or do some want to camp?
    A bit to the left,we could do Wales,I've stayed here before and it's got B&B,bunk house and camping.

    Obviously some people will have to travel further tan others and it's possibly not going to work for everybody so the more input the better.

    As well as Matlock there is bakewell too as in tarts. To be honest the area is a real secret garden of motorcycle pleasure with lots of camping and b&b's and top bendy roads you could ever want.

    Being a southerner Matlock area looks good and central and loads of nice riding around it!

    I'm new(ish), ....to the forum that is, in body - far from.
    Don't count me as a definite, but definitely a possible (...commitment or what :confused:).
    Change of circumstances (traded my Ducati MultiDisfunctional for a Speed 94R) means I and SWMBO will be doing some touring in the UK this year instead of the usual Euro tour. So could work the meet in to some sort of a plan if the date suits, SWMBO rides a Daytona675 (but can't be persuaded to take it to Europe).
    4th/5th June sounds better to me, Peak district will be heaving on a bank holiday weekend! (I'm an ex-Derbyshire lad).
    Anywhere is a bloody long way from me (the end of Cornwall) so place doesn't matter much to me. :)

    No tomorrow will be a light lunch - and for the rest of the month. Time to get in shape.
