The rote is pretty awesome - did a test drive back in February with Jem and Jan_Tekin. We end up down Camber / Rye way about halfway through, total route is about 160 miles around West / South Kent - not sure if Jembo has sent the route out yet, that is usually by PM close to the time.
28th April 13 - the return of the Kent Cruise
- Thread starter Jembo
- Start date

I will however be thinking of you all
Hope the weather is good on the day.
I was very much looking forward to coming on the Kent Cruise, however, due an unexpected call on my finances, I’m afraid I’m probably going to have to give it a miss.
I’ve just been offered something that I’ve wanted for a very long time – a WW2 BSA WM20 motorcycle. It has been owned by a friend in the UK for many years, but he has never got round to completing it’s restoration, and has now offered it to me at a very reasonable price, as he is moving permanently to his home in France. He is also throwing in a 1950’s Automobile Association sidecar, fairing and associated panels, so I will try and get hold of an M21 bike to go with it, when finances allow.
I’m about to put a couple of my bikes on the market, so may have some spare cash in time for the Cruise (if I get any sales), but it’s probably best if my place for lunch is offered to someone else – I can always bring a picnic if I do manage to come over.
Scorp.

I'd like to come but have a go-live at work that weekend and might have to work in the morning. If so would it be possible to join at the lunch stop?

Maybe's = 3
Put me down as a no for lunch, I'm going to try and drag Tricky Jr. out of his pit and away from the XBox and he is fussier than a fussy thing that's being picky....
If he comes, he's probably going to see the M's and say 'Dad why have you got a cr@p one?'

Wee Bing is coming - he's never said that, so don't worry. There are some very spirited sections that he'll love, and to be honest I have never felt left behind by the ///Ms... Well, not on the twisty bits :wink:
Maybe they can become Xbox friends in the future lol
@Jem - umming and ahing over lunch at present. Will decide ASAP, but if two people want lunch and currently cannot because there is no space then give our slots away.
Bing said:
We have 17 confirmed (including you), appreciate your situation as am in a similar boat to you though I live my life by you can't live it again... hence why I bought the Zed as a second car. I am confirming numbers this weekend, I'll assume you're dining if I don't hear otherwise.

Nothing to do with my 'situation' mate - it's a long day, trying to decide with Wee Bing, a) if he is coming at all, b) whether we want to stay for lunch and continue hooning, or just cut and run when you guys go in to eat (he's 13, and probably the only child there remember), and c) if he's not coming whether he can stay over somewhere so Mrs Bing can come along. If c) happens or I am on my own then lunch is for sure, if Wee Bing is there then possibly not. I will PM you by Saturday morning this weekend.
Bing said:
Almost exactly the same situation for me. Also a 13 year old and if I come in the morning (work permitting) it will be a challenge just getting him out of bed
