I did the first one in 2004 I think it was.I was on my XLV750 and was the only adventure bike there,but at least it was a 750 V twin.Now my bikes are even more dirt and don't feel right turning up on a dirt single or 2 stroke.My friends in the Triumph club know me well and say just come along,but I get the impression some of the people who turn up aren't impressed with a dirt bike and rider wearing MX gear riding alongside them dressed in black leather on a real bike.

Actualy the first one was great,it was like a reunion for the guys who rode in the late '60's and '70's....saw people I hadn't seen for 30 years.

Hey Motu, i don't think anyone will worry or judge you just cause you're not on a Triumph, it is open to All Bikes. I may even go on the CBR this year myself.
I understand that all accomodation in Raglan is booked out for Sat night 17th so it may have to be a ride home after or bring a tent.
Cheers
