We'll be there around 10am

Not even an RT.............. :-D The RT came a close 2nd. It's a brilliant bike without doubt! I just don't think it has the excitement/lightness/nimbleness/roominess or fun factor of the GS. Yes, it has great weather protection, but going on holiday and Sunday rides in late 20's degrees, who needs...

Can we start a poll on which RT rider with all the RT's "superior weather protection" will be first to drop out to due to a bit of rain?

The Road 6's wear better than the 5's, I've had 2's, 3's, 4's, 4GT's, and 5gt's, but I think the Road 6's are a good step up in longevity over the previous models.

I bought my RT without a test ride. I remember quite well riding it away from the guys house and thinking "Feck me! wtf have a bought here?" After about 6 Months I'd bonded with the bike and realised what a good machine it was. I bought my first GS after seeing it on Williams website and d...

magnetic tips don't always work on stainless steel screws'

I was hoping for more when I saw Rack and Crack in the title

No biggie, mines been cracked for ages! it's only cosmetic the silver bit.

You won't go far wrong with anything from the end of the age of the servo braked RT, they're all very good bikes

Michael and myself will be at Tim's Cafe for 9:30/10:00am for breakfast and ready for the 11:00am departure

No. Most RT riders don't go out in the rain though
