DSS Open Day

[TrickyMicky]

I'm hoping this is old news, but, just in case!

[Athame57]

I'm planning on being there!

Yes, posted before but won't hurt to post again. Might find a few more visitors. 
I'll be there with a mate. 👍

I'll be there with a Honda riding friend (I'll be on the Trident). We also have a 400/4 coming with us.

Wife can't go now as she has other plans ... found it hard to find a cheap room around there but at least going on my own I can slum it a bit more  ... ended up booking here for the Friday night (£70 with free cancellation option) . Lovely place I used to stay at in Knodishall only do glamping pods now ! It's in Beccles so a few miles away but hey ho.

If you have a bit of spare time, Norfolk and Suffolk Air Museum is just down the road  from Beccles, in Flixton. Plus Andy Tiernans Brit bike shop in Framlingham if you take a circuitous route to Leiston.

I was in Leiston the other day looking at the old USAAF station memorial there. AI also found out that the next village Theberton had a Zeppelin crash there in WW1. Church has a big piece of it inside, and the very friendly village pub has a little display board telling the story.

If this weather doesn't let up I might have to think again.

Hoping to meet a few members there.

I will have my Tiger Tim Club (long story!) badge on.

Just spent a good couple of hours at DS 400/4 Anniversary today - can only say a big “Thank You” to DS for doing this. Free entry, no problem parking (a car), free museum visit, burgers not extortionate, friendly & informative riders, welcoming & unstressed (surprisingly) sales team, bike jumble fairly priced.
As well as all that I’ve now got an idea of the differences between the early (1975) UK & Canadian/USA models - didn’t know that not only the indicators are different but the “stalks” are shorter & fatter than UK ones plus my personal “bugbear” the serial plate, finally saw another early 75 400 with the longer chassis/serial plate than is offered by ALL the suppliers I’ve contacted!

Sounds like a fun occasion!  Glad you had a good time!  Wish I lived closer to DSS!
