    Have you ridden the new shape tho?? I had the RR7 first and think there is a huge difference with the newer shape. Actually feels like a 600 in size and weight, much less top heavy than the RR7 shape :)

    Having said that I do understand and wish you all the best with it ;)

    Yeah, rode 600's in the morning and new 1000's in the afternoon round donni, both great just had more fun on the 600, and I thought hard about it over the weekend but that's what biking about. I love the speed of the blade, but it really is too much for the road an I'm bound to get nicked one day... 1000's are great for areas such as East Midlands etc. nice long open stuff, but it's the twisty stuff I like more. Tho, there are some very attractive deals on the new ones currently... ;)

    Well navvy and I are going to be there at 8 am. So you guys can get there when you want. But to be honest we dont want to leave it much later than that, so I would say start time 9 am. You snooze you lose..........................;)

    Errm, the last route I saw posted didn't go though Great Dunmow :confused:

    Navvy put this up as a possible http://goo.gl/maps/PdOk0

    Haggler, I guess depends how far west you want to come to meet us.

    I'm happy with brekkie at Baldock with bike and stomachs full for a 9am departure.

    Guys the route can be adjusted to suit I've just picked up suggestions and trying to avoid the A14 if possible. More than happy to adjust tomorrow when I have a bit more free time :)

    Gutted I can't make this! Finchingfield and Suffolk are my usual hunting ground. For a stop off Race Engineering in Great Dunmow have a burger van and this weekend are having a dyno day too. (Saturday I believe))
