    Speedy was up for either date - maybe he could 'host' the 28th Nov one if you are struggling for location ?

    That photo certainly proves a point huh?

    When you say 'coat' the bike...even paintwork?

    I could be the host on the 28th November too - I'm in Liden. There's room for a van and a bike or two on the drive and the garage has electricity. There's no tap near the front (perhaps I can get speedy to fit one for me ;D) but I'm sure we can run a hose.

    I don't mind going to speedy's either if he's offering.

    Is that the two venues settled on now? Thanks for that, Thunderbirds are go!

    It takes about two hours to do a bike, so fight amongst yourselves about who's turning up when. If I get to each host's for 08:30 to get set up and ready for the first bike at 09:00, how does that suit everyone?

    'Numpty, I don't coat the main paintwork as it can look smeary afterwards, I use a PTFE wax on that instead. The ACF50 goes onto the mechanical parts, unpainted bits, wheel rims etc.

    Obviously it won't undo any existing damage, but as a guide, this guy's bike was treated by me before winter last year, ridden for about 5000 miles through all conditions and never cleaned once, then treated again in the spring this year. The ACF50 has clearly done it's job, underneath all the crap it was still in remarkably good condition.

    I'd be keen to get my bike done too, is there scope to get a third date lined up?

    Who'd be in? I don't mind travelling, hosting wouldn't be so easy tho.

    Fine by me. Makes sense for the host to be the 1st bike of the day as it'll already be there. Is Morticia having 2 bikes done? If not, there's still a spare slot with me.

    21st November with Star:
    • Star
    • BonnieLass
    • Charley X
    • speedy

    28th November with ro:
    • ro
    • Morticia
    • JAYJAY
    • Morticia 2 (?)

    Unaccounted:
    • pirate
    • NickL
    • BB (?)
