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.

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.

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

Post by: XS850 on September 28, 2024, 06:53:00 PM: Just spent a good couple of hours at DS 400/4 Anniversary today - can only say a big â€œThank Youâ€ 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 Iâ€™ve now got an idea of the differences between the early (1975) UK & Canadian/USA models - didnâ€™t know that not only the indicators are different but the â€œstalksâ€ are shorter & fatter than UK ones plus my personal â€œbugbearâ€ the serial plate, finally saw another early 75 400 with the longer chassis/serial plate than is offered by ALL the suppliers Iâ€™ve contacted!
