Great. I'm aiming for 1:30 - 2:00. Get a coffee on arrival, and chill in the garden if it's dry.

Most enjoyable to get together at Biggin Hall, thanks to our organisers Stephen and Ray

Lovely.
 

Great photo, great get together, and a lovely reunion/commemoration/celebration - and really well looked after by Andy and all the Biggin Hall team, as ever.

Hi All,
Great photo making a lovely reminder of a great day. I feel so fortunate to have met and made friends with such a great group of guys.
On the day, I took Lyn home by 23:30 and managed to be home myself with Jordan at 00:20 on the Sunday.
Up at 05:00, collected my first passenger in Southport at 07:00 and finally arrived in Tenby at 17:05. A long and tiring day.
Very busy, no time to look at the forum, sorry. Arrived home yesterday, Thursday at 19:00, absolutely shattered.
Looking forward to a few easy weeks until this mornings wake up phone call. Another driver dropped out, no bloody stamina. I am now out on Sunday with a six day Llandudno tour.

Llandudno! Crazy, a kind of pier to pier networking Ray.

Very good Nick +++. Rest up Ray, drive carefully tomorrow, enjoy the seaside sunshine :)

Was this the bike you guys were discussing at Biggin Hall?

I missed that conversation?????? But that is a Chopper.

That's the Chopper's baby brother (literally), the Tomahawk. Apart from size, only subtle differences including only a single gear. Aah, the halcyon days of Sturmey Archer gears.

100% right Sean, and yes Nick, we were discussing both. I had a Tomahawk, as my working class Glaswegian parents couldn't stretch to "proper" Chopper - still great fun and great memories. I recently tried to buy a lovely red Chopper from a vintage (clothes!) store in Glasgow, but they told me they wouldn't sell it... :-(
