Yep, Doncaster.
That one you saw might have been the same one I saw on the A614 week last Saturday heading to Brid. I posted up a query about it but no-one replied, so maybe not a member.
Do you go to Squires?

Great, might see you there then. I was speaking to a guy on a ZXR750 from Ponti the other week and he said he'd seen another 400 there, so maybe you?
Yes, I get there a fair bit on weekends. It's not too far from Donny, a nice ride of about a hour. I don't go the quick way along the A1 (what's the point

), but prefer A19 to Eggborough, then along the A whateveritis to Snaith, then the Selby Road, then the B road to Cawood, then to Sherburn. Excellent 400 roads in there. Feds are a nuisance, mind you

. Builds up a nice appetite.
Tend to avoid if forecast wet as 40 miles in the rain ain't my idea of fun. Depending on the weather will probably have a rideout Sunday late morning but will have to clear off early afternoon as I'm at work later. Maybe see you there. If not this time then I'll look out for you

Haha! I try to make it sunday mornings as there's normally loads of bikes out, but it depends what shift im on. I find the cops in york turn a blind eye at exhausts and a little speed. But show em a illegal number plate and you may aswell get your cheque book out

Good forecast for Sunday, should be there about mid-day for a couple of hours. As you say, it's sportsbikes mecca. You can see just about anything and everything ever made. And some serious mods. Mori Man ought to fly in specially, he'd do a year's worth of business in one day

Also not one of those pose places where, if you aren't on the latest bike, people turn their noses up. And you can turn up on your tod and invariably get chatting to someone. Probably one of the top 5 bike hang-outs in the UK - if not the world!

Did you get there then? I saw a black ZXR arrive on a H plate but didn't manage to collar the rider. Yours? Had to clear off shortly after to come here (work

). Bit too hot TBH, sweated gallons, not really comfortable biking weather today.

So it wasn't you then. That's ok, I can now say the bike I saw was a right pile o' shite without offending you. Rusty to buggery and not well looked after, looked like a daily year round ride.
It's weekends I usually get but if I go one Wednesday I'll look out for you. I usually park on the road leading in. Take care.
