    This is a terrific place to visit, it's rammed with fantastic British bikes, it's a great day out. I went a few years ago as I had a meeting in one of the conference rooms there but had to get back to work so couldn't do it justice.

    Wondering if we might have a meet there... M42, J6. £7 to get in and worth every penny, it really is. Discount if there are 10 or more, D/K how much. Some nice roads round Solihull for a quick blast before/after...

    I'm sure we can do better than that :?

    C'mon peeps - anyone else like to go? I can assure you that it's very interesting and you can wander round for hours looking at all the fantastic British engineering. Not a single Jap bike in the place.
     
  5. too far for me ED, where is solihull anyway :D

    I thought it would be :(

    Solihull's about 10 - 12 miles south east of Brum. Sort of on the way to Stratford on Avon.

    The museum is located just off of J6 of the M42, Free parking, £7.00 entry fee. Open 9.30 to 5.30. They have a map in the form of a pdf on there website. I would be up for a meeting on the Sunday 1st November around mid morning as I live two hours ride away.
