Best wishes to all travelling to Portugal. Our plans have turned to dust unfortunately so a few photos en route and at the rally would be a slight compensation!

Does that mean the Transalp is only going to gather dust now then? How come?

I suggest that in future our committee decides when the Jampot open day will be, as it appears that the Vincent owners who are our tenants seem to decide the date. Due to departure for Portugal I will not be going to the open day.
However I will try to get some photo's of the Tigers en route!

Will you be taking photos of the Tigers when they're riding along or when we've packed them into the back of the van when they've broken down!!!! :rofl: :rofl:

The previous weekend is/was a Bank Holiday weekend with lots of other local and National motorcycle events plus family themed events for those with children/grandchildren which also would have severely limited attendance by members on that Saturday - probably more so than the limited numbers making the journey to the IJR.

Rob, there will probably be only room for one, as they are big and heavy. Tigers with panniers will not fit side by side unless the panniers are thrown away!
As there were no other interested parties I am now taking 2 of mine.
