Couldn't find a thread for this - Anybody planning on going?

I bought a 750 specially just so I could go!

You need to download and return an entry form if you are going.

I have an invite to go but dunno if I will get my K0 done in time.

I think it's all a bit premature though as,  IMHO,  I think that the 50th anniversary should be next year  50 years from when the bikes were truly for sale not launched as a pre-prod.

Evidently Vic World & John Wyatt are there as judges.

Kept that quiet Peter. You were saying just weeks ago when we chatted at Crich "you fancied one". Fast mover!
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Thanks for the information, I've been to the museum before and had to be dragged out via the shop, where I appear to have left a lot of money! The DS web-site says of the museum and presumably the site of lots of CB750's is:- 'The David Silver Honda Collection museum will be open with free entry on the day and refreshments will be available'. My CB750 won't be available for at least another year, so I will go early in the car. My Norton won't go that far. The entry form raises a question for me. It states (1) Honda CB750 - 1969. (2) Honda CB750-K0/K1/K2/K3/K4/K5/K6/K7 & K8 (1970 to 1978). Does that mean that only the legendary 'Sandcast' is a Honda CB750 and that later die-cast engines were a K0? My parts book doesn't think so. I'm confused - situation normal!

I expect to go, it's really not far for me and should be interesting.
