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

Meet ASDA lorry park in Harrogate from 7.00pm for a 7.30pm prompt start.

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!

The destination for our September 20^th ride weekend is now decided and the hotel arranged at the Gwesty Ty Newydd, Aberdaron, Pwllheli, Gwynedd.  It is close to the end of the Llyn Peninsular in the village of Aberdaron, on the west Wales coast.  It’s a beautiful spot and the chosen hotel has a view directly onto the beach.

We will be travelling on Saturday 20^th September through Yorkshire, south to Derbyshire, west to Wales and then returning the Sunday after, gathering for a hearty dinner at the hotel the evening before and a splendid Welsh breakfast the next morning, using different roads whenever possible.  The final route has yet to be decided, so if anyone has any requests or suggestions all will be considered.

The ride will be to the usual HAB rules using the drop off system. No one should get lost, but everyone will be provided with full itinerary including details of coffee and lunch stops with addresses and post codes.

 The hotel has given us a special rate of £45 per person including breakfast.  To book your hotel room for Saturday 20^th September I suggest you telephone them on 01758 760207 quote Harrogate Advanced Bikes or my name.  The hotel has 13 rooms on two sites very close together.  Please share a room with a pal if you can, so that as many of us as possible can come on the run.  If numbers exceed the hotels capacity there is another hotel across the road, The Ship Inn Hotel, which has rooms currently available, but no special rates arranged.

The hotel does not have a car park.  There is a National Trust car park a few yards away which is very suitable.  The village is small and I do not believe you should be worried about parking your pride and joy there.  Those of a nervous disposition should chain their bikes together and, if really concerned, the hotel has limited secure parking at Pretoria the annex building.
