Might go and enter the longest time 400/4 bits left in boxes.......

One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

That looks fun,

A few of us attended the one in 2019,I think

Easy to get to, head east on the A14,turn off at Stowmarket,

I went on the Friday, we were treated to a subsidised evening meal, I sat next to Neil Tuxworth, oh the stories about Honda,

Found a lovely B&B,
also Aldeburgh near by,

After the Saturday show, I got together with a few others,

A very nice Indian restaurant was found,

Sunday, after breakfast, set off home, why did it always rain around Cambridge!!

Pretty sure ChrisR will win at least two of the prizes  hands down if he's there. Highest mileage plus the UK Press Bike JGC 606N if he takes them.
At the 750 event though,  he was asked to be a judge by DS at the last minute because another judge didn't make it (think it was John Wyatt now RIP).

I will probably go, as Cathy likes it down there and according to her genealogy trail, one side of my family hail from Woodbridge many many moons ago.

Was a really good day out last time there.

Meeting others from forum, great bikes, very interesting museum, different bikes running etc. Will plan to get there again for this one.

Also walked out along nearby coast, excellent Fish-n-Chips down by the beach in Aldborough before heading home to finish a great day out.

Just a dream for me!  Apart from a 1500 mile round trip, 2 ferries and B&Bs, we will be away in Austria again - in the car though this time.  It would have been great to have met up with some of you folk - another time perhaps?  The last time we were in Leiston we were collecting 400/4 stuff from DS in the early days - a complete genuine 400/4 exhaust and silencer set me back £150!  Then went to visit Mick Walker for some Ducati stuff and his brother Rick not far away in Lynn.

One thing has me wondering though, the 50th anniversary of the CB400F is in 2025, why a year early?  :-\  Is Diane Abbott on his staff? ;D
