My local bike club monthly meeting has a guest speaker coming in February. I thought I would copy the post on our forum, as we are opening it up to anyone who wants to come. Just sign up to the forum and register your interest. Thought a few of our northern members might be intersted.
The club site is www.mcmc.org.uk.

"Arai John", John Wakefield is coming up to the meeting Wednesday 3rd February with quite a bit of Arai goodies etc to give us another talk as he promised at the last one. He is bringing with him Iain Duffus the TT racer. This promises to be one of the best talks that we have ever had so everyone make a note of it in the diary. Space at the Gordon Arms limits our numbers to 80. Please reply to this posting with your name if you are coming so I can add it to the list, don't reply saying you are not able to attend as it clutters up the thread. This event is open to all members and site members. After 2 weeks the event will be made available to other clubs etc if we haven't hit the 80 mark, so names soonest to ensure your seat.
