50 year 400 four event DS suffolk

[Nurse Julie]

Ah yes, the plank seat, I remember it well and just the thought makes my back side ache 😂😂😂😂

But have you had an operation there like I have? You too would learn to ride side saddle ( sort of) 

I hope Phil Ward has seen this (private joke) 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It was a great day NJ, very warm unlike my ride down to Leiston yesterday when it was horrendous traffic around the north circular and then a very long tailback on the A12. I did the last 50 miles in total darkness apart from a punny 35w single headlight, very scary especially hitting so many potholes!
DSS had a special cake made and everyone had a piece. I counted over 40 400/4’s although there was probably a lot more. The autojumble had crates of 400/4 parts at very reasonable prices. A very good day and I got to meet Ash and we measured the centre band on the DSS 250RSA for Ash to replicate on his rebuild.
I'll post some photos in the next couple of days.
On thing for sure though, I'm too old to be doing 130+ miles in a day holding 70mph on a small bike with a plank for a seat!

Dave, I was stuck in that tailback for 2 hours in my Renault box. I saw you filter past me! Also a blue CD175.

I enjoyed the day but didn't meet anybody from here. Got a few bits for mine. It was a good turnout on the day.

Pays to swap phone numbers via PM before the day.

Thats what we did for the CB750 day a while back. There was a cake then too.

Sorry I couldn’t make it. I try to limit my trips to Suffolk as the 90-y-o mother in law demands work on the house, cleaning and shopping. We are going next weekend.

It’s 3 1/2 hours each way for cleaning and Aldi…

We were looking out for you Gareth, were you wearing your Sohc Tee?

Yes Dave. I had the t-shirt on. Was wandering around from about 1020 until 2.30 ish.
