Isn't this run coming up in the next month or two?

Any TC members doing it?

I've never managed it but I fancy making an effort this year.

If this is the Run done by The same guy who does The Birmingham Testers run I WILL NOT attend.Two years ago I heard about the Bham Testers run from one of the Old Motorcycle Factories in Bham to Llandridod Wells.I wanted to go but as I pointed out to the organisers I could not make it to the Start on Sunday morning as I was at an event in Bromsgrove but could I join in if they would let me know the route.Oh no if you don,t attend the start you cant join the run.I was as usual on the Norton (made in Birmingham).From what I understand most on the bikes on the run where not made in Birmingham .It wasnt that I couldn,t get into Bham for the Start but I did,nt have the time.

It is a Birmingham testers run, but I seem to remember that the bloke who started it was as mad as a fish. When he first had the idea for the run he started an email mailing list that I ended up on. He was as keen as mustard, but obviously a bit abrasive. Sounds like he's still in charge.
