One of our convoy is riding a KTM SuperDuke down.

I'll be on a Speed Triple 1050 as part of Team Dredd.

Hooning around on mini motos when we're down there.

See your kitchen appliances actually stickered up thread for other toys.

Forgot to mention that Team Dredd are on Houx as well so will keep an eye out for the Tiger.

We shouldn't be hard to spot given the lorry sprayed up in Gulf colours and Judge Dredd.

Inspired by the Porsche in the background Black Speed Triple has now turned Triumph Lucifer Orange. Can't be upstaged by a buried pig again. Stickers are for lightweights!

they're actually not too bad on the bottom, it's the tank range that he'd be more pi$$ed about cos you're doing extrememly well to get more than 80miles to a tank and you need to plan no more than 10 miles to the nearest full station when you hit reserve cos that's just about all you have.
i know cos i had a Duke I, great bike, shame about the tank size.

We're cheating this year and chucking the bikes in the back of a brand new transit. Look out for a 900 hornet, fireblade & either a transalp or FJR. The ride down was amusing last year but you do get a sore arse from Edinburgh to Le Mans & back!

Having said that I just snapped the throttle cable on the Hornet last night so todays going to be spent sorting that out!
