I'm definitely game with the ususal proviso of dates not conflicting with immovable stuff. Problem only that I hold the time honoured adage 'I'd rather eat worms than ride a H*nda' very dear to my heart.

I ride a VFR800 to work most days and it is an EXCELLENT bike.

I'd also be interested in the RH school.

I'm sure that the VFR does precisely what you need from it BC and no offence intended, just the echoes of long ago teenage years of bias and bigotry against the all-conquering corporate H.

But they're still boring.....

Admission: I had a C50 stepthrough for a runaround once circa '82, cost me 50 quid from the local chippy - used to pull frightening wheelies on it

Voted best bike of all time a few years ago - did you see it ?

Must have passed me by. But I'm sure I heard the venerable C50/C90 was the biggest selling bike ever?
Certainly deserved it from the abuse my one regularly received and then willingly came back for more. It's probably still out there somewhere...

Extended families of 10 plus people and all their luggage regularly go on holiday on their stepthru in Asia.

Thats literally amazing. Cheers for that, then im up for it if you can find space for a noobie

You can count me in too, as I would much rather ride someone else's on my first track day.

**Paivi** · 19 Oct 07, 09:20 PM

Ah, didn't realise they supply the bike. That might be a problem for a shortarse like me, especially if I'm used to my featherlight clutch.

Hi Folks. Been working long hours, away from home but I have updated the list thanks. I've also sent my friend an e-mail confirming we should be able to make up a group of our own. Just waiting for price confirmation now. I'll keep you posted.
