You must love travelling up and down the country in shite weather when you're knackered.

You're fooling no one, I bet you're working away like a daemon on the Slabby, ferry and hotel booked and you'll be there with it on the stand.

I'm a maybe/probably/possibly at the minute Paul. I need to speak to them about the trade stand then decide if it's trade, OSS or neither because I'm working on the draw through.

To my eye the ET was a bit of an odd fish on the Stafford stand in that it's a nice classic Suzuki. Plenty of those about at the shows, even an identical one (bar the exhaust) on the Air Cooled Suzuki stand. So I'd rather be at a show with a bike I feel better suits the OSS/modified vibe. Hopefully the draw through may be somewhere near at that point, so we'll see how it goes.

Bring the draw through as a work in progress if you want to Larry,its kinda refreshing to have a standard bike on the stand to be honest,or i may have to find a Gurls blouse to put on the stand again

You attracted the last one without even trying. 

Bringing the draw through WIP would be the plan, and it should be OK but as with any build at this stage there are a fair few moving parts and I'm not in control of them all.  A stock bike is OK, and I like the ET that way (obviously) but it's not really what OSS is about so I'd prefer to be there with something which was.

Yes mate but generally it's shit unless you want some knock off tools , and it'll be really  cold 

[gsx]

Oh and if anyone sticks it in Google maps , it doesn't have an e on the end

Yep, but it's not a patch on a 'normal' jumble at Newark.

It's in the fire up hall Ash,locked at night and I beleive they have security patrolling the showground at night.

What's the cut off for knowing who's in and what they're bringing @Paulm? I know it's not for a good while, but there's a fair bit going on this end so I need an idea of when to aim for.
