Re: Classic Bike Live
Paperwork already processed.
Mark Bailey and myself are attending this one with a club stand. We will be displaying an early 350 Strada and a 350 K2
We need two more Morinis for display, preferably a single cylinder model and an enduro one.
There is no need to stay on the stand, just drop off your 'bike on Friday afternoon and collect it after 430pm. on Sunday afternoon.
Exhibitors of machines will have two complimentary passes to attend the show if desired.
Volunteers please.
Many thanks,
Les Madge

Re: Classic Bike Live
Les;
You can have the Tressette if there's nothing closer; I'll have to get it over to Marks, unless you can collect it on the way up?
It'd be a good excuse to get together for a beer or so as well...
Good riding,
CC

Re: Classic Bike Live
The Tresette would be great to see, Chris. I'm sure we can work something out...

Re: Classic Bike Live
Hi Guys;
Doesn't look like we can easily get the Tressette in the frame, and so we'll need some other kind sole (who might be a little closer) to volunteer a single. Shame, I'm always up for getting in to a show on the cheep!
Good luck,
CC

Re: Classic Bike Live
The Classic Bike Live event at Peterborough is getting closer! I know we've got my drum Strada and Les's K2 confirmed; it's going to be a big event so we want a good display of Morinis of all ages and number of cylinders. Please contact Les or me if you're interested - you don't have to stay on the stand all weekend, although you'll get free passes, and everyone's most welcome to help out.

Re: Classic Bike Live
Might be interested if I'm in the country, but then I may be in the middle of an engine swap on the 2C/375 (for the rebuilt 350 from the 'project'). Plus it's not a totally original example of a 250
Re: Classic Bike Live
We'd hate to upset the rivet-counters Pete! Interesting, different, quirky things are always good.

Re: Classic Bike Live
The Peterborough show is this weekend and we've got Les's 350 K2, my drum brake Strada, Chris's tastefully brown Granpasso, and the star attraction: Hugo Wilson's Mk1 500 Camel. Plus club products and a warm welcome to anyone who comes to say hello and test our encyclopaedic knowledge of Morinis old and new. Hope to see you there.

Re: Classic Bike Live
Looking forward to the ride up - and have all the crew on board (i.e. - we're using the GP as intended, two up with luggage) and making a proper weekend of it. I've spent the whole afternoon cleaning bits of it; not shiny enough to satisfy the purists but as long as it doesn't rain it should look as good as any machine as ugly as a GP can look. But as the man said, you can't see it when you're riding it, and anyway, it's the ride and comfort that count (in the pillions' world, at least)...
See you there? and Good Riding,

Re: Classic Bike Live
Might be a pushing my luck a bit to do the trip on the 2C now hosting the 350 engine I rebuilt last winter, particularly if I can't get the PHBH28s jetted a bit better to suit it before the weekend. I'll check the weather forecast and might even consider going on Saturday via Ellistowncorsaro chris wrote: See you there? and Good Riding,

Re: Classic Bike Live
Unable to make it this weekend.
Weather forecast is good so hopefully Chris you will have an enjoyable ride.
The show should be a good opportunity to talk to potential members from the East of England.
Look forward to some pics Mark, the line up of bikes sounds just right, plenty of room for visitors to discover the benefits of becoming a Morini rider.
Regards
Paul

Re: Classic Bike Live
A very successful weekend: a spacious, warm venue with helpful staff and we were busy talking to people all the time. Plenty of interest in the four bikes: Chris Webber's Granpasso, Les Madge's K2, Hugo Wilson's Camel and my Strada. It was good to catch up with friends, put faces to names and spread the word about the wonders of Morinis. And particular thanks to Les for organising everything so efficiently. We certainly plan to go again next year.

Re: Classic Bike Live
Good to see you again Mark. Forgive the senior moment - of course I'd seen your blue Strada before!
The stand was very user friendly in layout and welcoming. Well done to all involved.
Did Chris clinch that order for a 1200 Scrambler?

Re: Classic Bike Live
Looks like another reason not to go to Stafford ever again!
Cheaper,
Roomier,
Looks more modern
Etc
Would miss the ride from Uttoxeter though.... lovely road.
Same distance from me, so I'll pay a visit next year instead and if the Strada is finished, you can have it on display. Whether you want me to tell jokes on the stand is a different matter.......
