Can you imagine that a lot of the bikes that suffered fire damage was rebuild and put back up for display. It is a good day out and you can spend hours just soaking it all in.

Wondering if it may be worth doing the Museum as a sat or sun meet-up one weekend? I see there's a cafe there - have a quick brew, then a wander around the bikes, spot of lunch then have another wander.

Would make a nice change, and it's easy to get to. :)

Nice one Peter - admittedly it's not the most rewarding journey to get there (I'd just bat down the A46/M69/M6 etc) but it's more about the destination in this case. Could certainly make a day of it, put it that way.

I'll start looking at the diary. :)

Much as I like my bikes... I went and thought it was incredibly dull.

Oh look, there's a 1972 Norton Commando. Ooooh, a 1974 Commando...wow.

Really have to be an anorak to appreciate it.

I would be up for this depending on dates, I haven't been since before the fire. Bloody boring ride down m6 though, spose I could do A49/A41!

Don't think a Saturday would be a problem Steve - I'll have a look at some dates tomorrow and get something posted up in Days Out.
