If you're like Us and Them, you'll be looking for a challenging Mille-style ride before winter.

Dianne McNamara brilliant! Look forward to seeing you then!
Excellent! I might spend the night at the park as well. It will be great to meet fellow classic scooterists.
Hey Ray Cassar sorry to hear about your arm! Hope the healing is quick and strong for you
Hi Dianne, were staying in the yurts. I'm sure we'll probably go for a meal at the pub or somewhere that night, so that could be a good opportunity to meet up. I'd love to hear about your restoration
Id love to do this, but have a broken arm until april
Hi Guys. Will there be a gathering of the bikes after the Saturday run so I can come and have a look even though my classic is still in a million pieces mid restoration. Maybe at the caravan park?
