Well if mine is finished I will be making that day out. A good way to say thank you to everyone that has helped me so far and to those that haven't yet but will.

[Rozabikes Tim]

I have emailed the organisers to say we will be attending. A count of us expressing an interest came to 14! I have referred to numbers as 10 -15 and said this may change either way. We need to firm numbers up in the new year.

Any more interested???

I will keep the forum posted on this. In the mean time, please find copy of their letter emailed to me.

Ok that didn't work, so I am rubbish at including attachments. How do I include PDF file in a post....

[Nurse Julie]

I would just copy and paste on to the forum (I am pleased I'm not the only Luddite around!!!)

[Rozabikes Tim]

Yes nurse, what ever you prescribe! - as below.  Would still like to know from those more gifted than I how I insert a PDF document.

(I have responded to the letter below  on behalf of the forum per earlier post today )

Dear Motorcycle Club Organiser,

On Sunday the 2nd of July 2017 a 'Classic Motorcycle Day' is being held at the National Tramway Museum in Crich, Derbyshire, which is being jointly organised by the Vincent Owners Club (East Midlands Section) and the Crich Tramway Village, home to The National Tramway Museum.

The Tramway Museum is a charitable organisation mainly run by volunteers and several years ago they held a similar event which we, like them, are very keen to see run again. We also want it to be as big as possible and to run it every year.

The reason I am writing to you, is to invite your club to this event along with your motorcycles, with the aim of getting as many motorcycle clubs there as we can. That way the public can see a wide range of motorcycles and the various club members can network as they normally do.

The event is open to motorcycles built prior to January 1992 and entry is free for any rider and their classic motorcycle, provided that they are booked in advance, and this includes free access to the whole museum.  Pillion passengers and support crew will have to pay for entry, either at a one-off group rate or they might consider paying full rate which then entitles them to free re-entry to the museum for 12 months.

A designated area of the main car park will also be allocated for more modern motorcycles and parking is free.
The event is being held outside on mostly paved or cobbled areas, so no matter what the weather your motorcycles will be on solid ground.  We will also be submitting a request for glorious weather but unfortunately we cannot guarantee it.

Once you decide your club is attending the event or not, it would be useful, for planning purposes, to know an approximate number that will be attending.  Pre-booking is essential and facilities for this will be available early in the New Year.

You can notify us either by letter to;
The National Tramway Museum, FAO Gordon Burch, Crich Tramway Village, MATLOCK, Derbyshire. DE4 5DP
or by email to: gordon.burch@tramway.co.uk                                   Telephone: 01773 854361

We look forward to hearing from you and are hoping to stage a great classic motorcycle event.

Yours Sincerely

Jon Lambley

The Vincent Owners Club (East Midlands Section)

Your learning Tim, trust me I'm a Nurse 😊😊😊 As far as I'm aware you can't upload a PDF file to a post, only a link to a PDF that's on tinternet. I could be totally wrong on that, Steve will be the one who can answer that question.

[Johnwebley]

entered in my planner,

 along with the Classic TT,Calne Bike day,and a few others,

 see you all there !!!

[MrDavo]

I'm up for this, it's not a million miles from here, and I get to meet you reprobates and see your SOHCs.

[Rozabikes Tim]

Reprobates? How very dare you! - now anoraks maybe!

Yeh should be good meet up.

[hondarc166]

count me in please

[Rozabikes Tim]

Hi,

Just to keep all informed I have received the tickets for this event. Based on the numbers indicating initial interest I went for 15, however I indicated this could change either way (hopefully upwards).

Just looked through the post and those listed below are named and shamed as showing interest.

John Webley, Chris440F, Pops400, Laverda 120, Nurse Julie, Trigger, Clive, Paulbaker1954, Yozza74, Green1 (x 2), Onethumb, Mr Davo, Hondaarc166, Rozabikes (me)

Please underline this in your diaries (2nd July) and let me know if you cannot make it. ALSO MORE TAKERS WELCOME but let me know re freebee tickets (only if on a bike).

I know I am just acting as a contact point for the forum but can I suggest we have some brainstorming as to how we "exibit ourselves"  .  Shall we just keep the format simple trestle table surrounded by shiny Hondas. Any interesting Honda artifacts / literature. SOHC cut away engine? Ideas chaps please!

Tim

[SteveD CB500K0]

SOHC cut away engine?

Sorry Tim - I gave it to Sammy Miller.

Steve

[paulbaker1954]

We could always rock up in 1970's fancy dress😉😉😉😉

I'm thinking waxy Belstaff jackets, platform boots, open helmets with goggles😂😂😂

[Rozabikes Tim]

SOHC cut away engine?

Sorry Tim - I gave it to Sammy Miller.

Steve

Knew I had seen something on the site Steve. Any others out there chaps or idle retired engineers fancying a challenge! Seriously maybe  just a SOHC head, old Brit pushrod job and a nasty modern DOHC version to show their relative efficiency?

Yes Paul why not? Perhaps we could get some mods in for a rumble too .
