| The X9OC Kent Rideout will happen in the Spring. It's just a day's ride, usually in Kent but will be more East Sussex as this is #9 and we've done most of the good bits.
It's probably a bit far for you to come but you'd be welcome.
Not yet sure about any others.

| In Spring Mrs M and I are off on the overnight Hull to Rotterdam ferry, then through Holland and into Northern Germany staying for a few days in Bremen. Then it's over to the Lunenberger Heide area for a few more days, It's an area we are familiar with, we were there on the big Burger two years ago and we really enjoyed it.

| Wayne,
I'd love to attend such an event, but the price of the ticket and the hoops one now needs to jump through to visit the USA have really put me off. |

| I may ride down to the FL rally, which is just before Daytona Bike Week.(trailer biker week).
For those in Europe, while not scooter rally, try Stella Alpina, get there a day early. book nice hotel or camp up the mountain. Never saw bike up on trailer there. Want pin or tee shirt....30km up mountain, depending on weather/dust/mud/pavement/maybe a little snow. I have seen everything from GoldWing sidecar outfit to Vespa at top. Kind of a struggle on BMW RT in some sections-----my Vespa 150 was easy ride up. SilverWing would do, maybe drive line get a little warm in some sections.Ride up and down maybe 3 hours, return to hotel, clean up.....and then the wine and food, really good.

| Sounds like a great event John, I'll look into that. I haven't been to Italy since I was a Kid and the thought of going to the spiritual home of Scootering tickles my sense of humour.
I do also want to visit Anzak Cove in Turkey, and was considering riding there with a friend. One of possible routes will take us down the spine of Italy.... |
