Is it just a turn up event or do you have to book in James? The ride outs and husky test rides will be fun. :woohoo:

If I recall, I think you've got to buy tickets in order to get into the talks – I last went a couple of years back so it may have changed since then. Austin Vince was doing a talk back then (first time I'd seen him) and it was superb.

It was also the year that Kevin and Julia set off on their China trip (I even made it into the footage right at the beginning of their DVD when everyone waved them off in front of the shop – everyone deserves their 0.5seconds of fame )

Cheers James, I've got my name down now. I just hope the tickets aren't Touratech prices. :unsure: :laugh: :laugh:

I know what you mean! The only thing Touratech I could afford was the free timeless booklet! :laugh:

I've always said "if you have to ask how much it is, then you cant afford it" and there are no prices in any of there catalogues. :whistle: :laugh: :laugh:
