    Depending on who is interested, age etc. I thought john o groats down to fort william on the first day maybe? I am open to suggestions though.
    It will take two days by car and trailer to get to the top of our island. Then set off back on the third day.

    Anyone else?

    Well looks like I have reached the limit on riders already. Perr 38 I have added you to the list.

    If anyone would want to come along as support riders or just come for the crack and don't mind riding at 45 mph then let me know.

    The Honda 90's will be transported by car and trailer to john o groats.

    Not sure on the arrangements for the event as yet but looking at camping. Cheers for everyone who has had their input in this post.

    sell the C90 quick, and buy an old 250 2 stroke - and join us from Portsmouth to Porto in sept 2015
    the rules are anything 2 stroke, sub 250 cc, you supply all the spares, and kit you want into a supplied box and the support vehicle carries all these.
    game ? i can feel my NSR250 seeing a bit of Europe in a few months

    Wish i had the space to keep a sub 250 2stroke! And could find a decent one cheap enough. Still want a CRM like yours Paul looks like a right blast to ride

    Just need to get them selves
    John o Groats to lands end using the routes that cyclists would use. Ie no motorways

    I am happy for anyone to join us on a 90 or back up for the ride on their own bikes. Just need to get themselves up there? The more the merrier the more I think about it. :geek:

    Do you want to do this?

    Late august/ early September is when we are looking at doing this .

    Camping is planned on the route. :cool:
