Well this is a blast from the past! Just had an email reminding me the Group was still going. My last log in 15 years ago.
Well done for keeping the group going!

I organised the first UK gathering 28th July 2002....blimey nearly 20 years ago!!! Six of us met a Service Station somewhere in Somerset and rode to the Cafe at the East Somerset Railway.

I recognise the user name shebee....am I right in thinking you were there?
Hopefully (don't know what I'm doing) a pic is attached of our 6 bikes at the Service Station on that occasion.

My bike red VRaptor WR02XJO are you still out there?

Well that is fantastic to hear from you and to hear Snapdragon is still going.
I'm sure I had a pic of us all at the Railway Station after our ride out. I can see us all lined up in my minds eye but I can't find the pic.
I a few other pics of my Raptor, but found this artwork I think I put together for a club card...which didn't happen...se attached.
I see a nice Vrap on Ebay, tempted, but my two wheel days are over I'm afraid. I prefer the sedate pace of steam engines these days!
I sold my bike to a chap called Parky, who contacted me when he got home delighted and called me a hoodlum for having such a fantastic bike.
Cheers for now
