    Perfect - where you planning to meet us?

    Looks like 2 groups now heading down A49 - The Stockport massive will arrive a little later than Giv and Si and meet up at the cafe - will do a quick call in at the Shell for any lastminute.com joiners.

    We met on schedule, left on schedule , got fuel at Shell on schedule, met at Cafe on schedule.
    Left cafe, swift run to Chester, Me Swiss T and Ant headed East

    All good - no further pics

    Oh - and HRC Blades 0f 2012 appear common as.. well they are the top selling sportsbike for last few years so not a surprise there are a load on the roads

    Swiss T tested R1 - he can give verdict!

    Sorry I didn't head to Chester but had a nice run back up the A49 :D
