Tis a great shame, but for exactly the reasons you state i think its the right decision ..... Co-ordinating and keeping together 30-40 bikes in the rain, over a distance of 350-400+ miles, would be a logistical nightmare
Plus I've only got the MV at present, and i don't really want that to get wet ....

I agree, not only would it be no fun but there may have been some 'misfortune' along the way

Yeah I was trying to stay hopeful of a sudden change in the forecast but I think that's unlikely
.....
I'll check which weekend I don't have the kids and that will be my option. I will contact Mr Sullivan and let him know whats happening tomorrow.
And I've just got a new front tyre fitted plus bought new front pads all ready to fit tomorrow, all that just to be in tip top condition for Sunday...........Boo fuggin' hoo
.......

Shame but the right decision. Got the bike mot'ed though so that's a good thing. Don't think I can make the revised dates
Oh well there's always next year.

Ahhhhhh pants!
Blimmin crappy UK weather!
Tis the best decision though, the thought of such a mega long ride potentially in the wet doesn't do it for me much
I've voted for the 18th!

Was going to have to pull out of this anyway, bandit is still not running right.
Voted for 18th, hopefully he'll be on the road by then!

Yeah....as above sad but wasn't looking forward to rainy morning riding... shame we didn't set it up for last Sunday would have been perfect!!!
Damn this summer weather...
I've voted for 18th too, Bank Holiday would be a no go, as I work in retail and they don't 'do Bank Holidays' apparently so I'd be working...
