Re: Nick Saunders Yamaha dealer meetings.

I certainly won't be going anywhere near Nick after meeting him at NEC last November. When mentioning a planned trip to The Americas he and his mechanic condemned South America as 'boring and not worth the trouble' and Mexico as 'only worthwhile if you want to be kidnapped and get your wife raped'....
