you want to go again ?
Yep, I don't think here's anything else in the diary and unless there's a monsoon on the day, I'd enjoy another visit.
You keen? Batmobile?

British Motor Museum (not the National Motor Museum...)
I went to this last year on my v85tt. A fiddly ride down, between Birmingham and Coventry, wasn't much fun.
Got there quite late as a result so missed quite a few bikes but it was good to have a wander round what was still there and natter with like minded souls.
And I had a productive chat about warranty work with the dealer who had taken the trouble to bring along a couple of bikes (MSC, Notts)
To round it off I found a much better route on the way back
Best to amend your title tho' - it could make for a long day for somebody given that the 'British' is near Coventry and the 'National' looks like it's way down on the south coast..

Thanks for that - titles can't be edited so I'll as the boss for assistance.
OK I have asked BHT to make the edit.
I know he's busy rolling out the new site currently, so in case he can't find time for this, the correct venue for the get together is in COVENTRY.

I think I’ll have a wander down to this as I’ve been bitten by the Guzzi bug now I’m back riding. Thanks for the heads up. 
Sorted
Thank you
Looking for a reason not to go on honeymoon, but dont think this will cut it
I might be going Paul.
Can’t confirm for a bit though.

Can one just rock up on the day or is it best to book in advance ?
i might come on the batmobile , or the sport . or bring the tone down with the B750.
just rock up . bring a flask and sandwiches....lots.
Don't you have a T3 Cali squirrelled away somewhere? That would be a nice thing to take.
Previous question - no need to book as there is no fee. But as Baldrick alludes to, the cafe is the other side of the museum pay desk, thus cunningly depriving the museum of huge potential catering revenue every weekend... bring your own fayre.
no , i have my Metal or a Vintage , both need some love and money.
This has come around quite quickly, it is this Saturday from 10.
There is no charge, just gather in the dedicated Guzzi area in the massive car park at the venue. Last year a Midlands dealer had a stand with a few new bikes. The event was really well attended, with Guzzis of all ages represented.
Food and drinks are all the 'wrong' side of the museum turnstile, so if you don't want to visit the museum, bring your own sustenance.

It's also the Silverstone F1 GP at Silverstone this weekend, so expect a bit of traffic if you're coming from that side.
