Thanks Kpy!
Yes Barry, I too have intended to go many times but have been unable to get my arse in a respectable enough state to make it. Maybe this is the year.......

Always tried to do one thing I haven't done before each year I go to LM.
Great British Welcome is Friday's target this year.
Must be good Thursday night :angel:

been going there for 5 or 6 years, it is now a part of the event, however one word of warning, as it gets more popular the chaos on friday afternoon of cars trying to get in and others out gets worse, best get there early

Agree last years was heaving and that was at around midday as I remember.
Traffic queues were long, bike queues were nonexistant ;D
get there before midday a great event getting better and better

I intend to be there in the Frogeye (red with white roundels if you happen to see it/me say hello). I usually have Canada Phil as my passenger. I don't imagine that it will be any different again this year.

Big thanks to Andy for taking me over on the back of your bike, I thought it was much quieter this year though, still has a great character and must do.
