Here’s the latest copy of IAM’s monthly newsletter:

IAM Insight July 2014

Our intrepid Associate and bike rally nut Lee Edwards has sent me this link to a blog describing his experiences on the Brit Butt Rally – nearly 1,400 miles in 2 days! A great read and I’m sure you’ll agree a tremendous achievement. My ride out next month is a little long at around 180 miles – but no moaners please after reading this!

Croft Bike Flyer 27 8 2014

I’m posting this message from John Nettleship for the attention of all interested parties:

It’s a bit short notice, I know, but with my MAG Leeds hat on, I’m letting people know that we have organised an open Meeting with Greg Mulholland, MP for North Leeds/Otley for any bikers to come and put questions on any motorcycle topic to him. All welcome. Yew Tree Inn, Otley, June 26, 7:30 pm.. Thanks John

I’m posting this a little early as I’m away next week for a couple of weeks, David.

Just a reminder for the monthly evening ride out for Monday June 9.

IAM Insight June 2014

PLEASE NOTE, THIS BIKE HAS NOW BEEN SOLD.

In excellent condition apart from some minor scratches to the fairing.

First registered on the 29th July 2010 the bike has only covered 4700 miles and is stored in a dry heated garage. It has a full service history and was pre-registered by Honda UK – the bike therefore shows as 2 owners on the registration document.

Complete with heated grips, Givi top box bracket and Givi top box. R&G Crash bungs. The bike is equipped with a battery maintainer plug and the appropriate maintainer will be included in the sale.

There is minor scratching on the fairing which is shown in the photographs. Repair of this can be carried out by one of the scratch removal companies, without removal of the fairing. The repair cost (estimated at £150) is reflected in the asking price of £3,900.

Please ring Hugh Bevington on 07701 012136 for further details.

Just to confirm, John’s trip to the Lakeland Motor Museum will start as usual from the ASDA lorry park in Harrogate. Meet from 9am for a 9.30am prompt start.

Don’t forget our usual short ride out this Monday evening. Meet ASDA lorry park in Harrogate from 7pm for a 7.30pm prompt start. Ideas and suggestions on possible routes welcome!
