Unfortunately Connie won't be ready   :'(  Once the rad is returned tomorrow (Friday), we may then have to ride up to West Drayton to collect some gaskets.  I'm interested to know where Urban Terrorist heard about this show as this used to be one of the old haunts dad has spoken about.  Not sure he ever went that far though.  I wonder if my sister would let me borrow one of her vehicles?  I'd love to go.  Excuse my ignorance but is it right that the cafe is no longer there?  I wonder if any of the guys visiting the busy bee on Saturday ever made the trip down the A30 to the Old Manor Cafe.  You've given me an idea!!!  :o

SUNDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER

Don't book anything else for that day! Its a Busy Bee reunion, if I can't make Saturday, I shall attend September's.

I'll see if Dave is up to travelling to West Drayton tomorrow (Friday), hopefully when we finish work on Saturday we'll be free to go.  You'll have to ride my bike as its a single seat, or pillion with Dave.

Hey! Altering your posts while I'm typing replies is cheating! Got other shirts to post out tonight anyway, but will hang on to yours & await further instructions!  :)
Off to the printers. Back soon.

Never heard of the Bee before Urban. Was it something like the original Ace cafe then?

You've never heard of it?!!! Someone your age?!!! ;D

Yep, it was like the Ace, there was loads of roadside cafes where bikers met up. The website has abit of history about it all.

Cheeky young whipper-snapper! I'm 44, not 104!
Not a Londoner either. Knew there were plenty of cafes but never really delved into the history of it all. Would love to get along but somehow don't think the trike'll be on the road this weekend!
