Bilsdale is the place near Sunderland?..... and your in Germany so if your offering to pick me up on the way through i could be persauded? Could ask Atom Ant if he's interested too he knows how to ride a Fantic so if you've a spare bike we could (thats a big could) get three red fannies in a trial.

I´m taking the ferry from holland to hull. There me , a real german and a dutch guy coming.

Its all one course, more like fun than torture and lots of red frames will be there cos bill pye organises it. His son david may ride a 240 or a tiger cub, depends on how he feels. I have not ridden there yet but have been told its a real laff.

Danny Booker from Dorking may be coming........

Danny, you reading this?
Steve Bilco is going, maybe Chris Steven from Soton...he knows a thing bor two about okos

hello lee, I live in Kent and i'd need to come up the day before therefore camping or a hotel?.....not decided if i'd would go but any helpful info may persaude me.

On a slightly different topic, the bike performed really well in the hands of AA. As i respect anyones opionion on a bike which i know nowt about AA rightly said about the gearing being a little on the low side. Having a look through my spares i had a spare set of chain a sprockets and counting the teeth on the rear sprocket fitted there were 43. On the spare set rear had 39, if my memory serves me right AA's call saying the bike was under geared was a good call. I bow to his greater knowledge on this bike. I've fitted a new set of plastics and side panels gave it a clean and the picture below was taken today. I'll be riding it in a competition next weekend.

Spud. I had a second hand one in 1984 for about 4 months. That's the extent of my 'greater knowledge'

I run 10/43 as I like to use 2nd and 3rd alot. try changing the gearing if you have the chance.

I take the ferry overnight which arrives in hull on sat morning. I will be camping in a tent the sat and sun night. I have never ridden there but have been told its agreat event

Like Lee I run 10/44 and the more time I spend on the old girl , I find I only use first in real tight technical stuff . I'm sometimes shocked at how well the 212's will tractor when needed
