Ron you're a star.
My mate will be taking his G3L I believe. His name is Luca Gio, you've probably already met him, or he'll probably already know your name. If you could send me your mobile number I'll pass it on to him.
Let me know when you're back in the UK and I will come down and collect the bits from you. It will give me a good excuse to come down and see your amazing collection. I wish I was going to Normandy on my bike, but it's nowhere near ready. I joined you on a road run a few years back at the Ramsbury show on my WD/CO. It was its first ever run, and the main drive sprocket came off on the first hill out of the village! I spent the rest of the day trying to catch up , without overstressing the engine! I finally made it into Netheravon as you were all sitting down to a cup of tea!
Are you in need of any original pannier racks/bags or blackout masks? I have spares that I don't need and looking to trade for parts if you have any carrier stuff spare.
Thanks again.
Tom
